Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Elemental World at 4.8 against Crunchyroll's 4.0. Elemental World also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 1). Crunchyroll's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases 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 and Elemental World sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Elemental World holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elemental World has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Crunchyroll's written reviews are positive against 61% of Elemental World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
