# Crunchyroll vs Dunkadillo

The clearest difference is rating: Dunkadillo at 4.5 against Crunchyroll's 3.4. Dunkadillo also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Crunchyroll's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crunchyroll sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $13.99 per month and Dunkadillo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dunkadillo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dunkadillo has 55 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Crunchyroll's written reviews are positive against 90% of Dunkadillo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Crunchyroll ships an update every 8 days, Dunkadillo weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
