Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Crunchyroll at Free against 2's $0.99. Crunchyroll also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.5). 2's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 14.0). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Crunchyroll is free to download; 2 costs $0.99 up front. 2 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Crunchyroll sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $13.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crunchyroll holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of 2's written reviews are positive against 20% of Crunchyroll's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

2 ships an update monthly, Crunchyroll every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
