Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Crunchyroll at Free against Super Dark Deception's $5.99. Crunchyroll also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Super Dark Deception's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
