# Crunchyroll vs Dance Knight

The clearest difference is rating: Dance Knight at 5.0 against Crunchyroll's 2.9. Dance Knight also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Crunchyroll's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crunchyroll sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $13.99 per month. Dance Knight asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dance Knight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crunchyroll has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
