# Shockbot vs Crunchyroll

The clearest difference is rating: Shockbot at 4.3 against Crunchyroll's 3.0. Shockbot also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 4). Crunchyroll's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shockbot sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Crunchyroll sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $13.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shockbot holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shockbot has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.

Shockbot ships an update every 6 days, Crunchyroll every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
