Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pitch Runner at 100% against Crunchyroll's 31%. Pitch Runner also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Crunchyroll's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
