Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Space Squad Survival at 85% against Crunchyroll's 0%. Space Squad Survival also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.6) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 7). Crunchyroll's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
