Crunchyroll in India: price and how to pay
Fan ₹99/mo · ≈ $1.03 · verified 2026-08-29
Source · verified 2026-08-29
India is one of Crunchyroll's cheapest storefronts: the Fan tier verifies at Rs 99/mo ($1.03, about 90% below the US price) as of 29 Aug 2026, and the company has leaned into the market with Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs plus aggressive annual promotions since cutting its India annual price in mid-2025. Billing goes through the App Store on an Indian Apple ID — UPI-linked, card, or gift-card balance — and the annual plan on Crunchyroll's own site usually beats twelve monthlies.

Which payment methods work for Crunchyroll in India?
The "Payment in India" section above lists each method we could confirm for this storefront, with the dated note underneath explaining how billing actually works there.
I've seen Rs 79 quoted for Crunchyroll India — which is right?
Both figures circulate because Crunchyroll has run promotional pricing in India, including a widely covered annual-price cut in July 2025 and later limited-time offers. Our dated verified cell tracks the standard Fan rate at Rs 99/mo as of 29 Aug 2026; treat anything lower as a promo and check the current offer before subscribing.
Can I pay with UPI directly on Crunchyroll?
Not as a direct Crunchyroll payment — the app-store rail routes the charge through your Apple ID, where UPI can be the underlying payment method. Add UPI under Apple ID → Payment & Shipping and the subscription debits through it automatically.
What does Fan include versus Mega Fan in India?
Fan streams the full ad-free library on one device at a time. Mega Fan adds offline viewing and simultaneous streams on up to four devices for somewhat more per month — worth it only if more than one person watches on the account.
