The call

The clearest difference is ads: Crunchyroll at none against Relatos's shown. Crunchyroll also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
