Crunchyroll vs Funimation: Which Is Worth It in 2026?
One of these services no longer exists — here is what that means for your money.
Verdict: Crunchyroll wins — Funimation no longer exists
- Funimation merged into Crunchyroll in 2024. Accounts, dubs, and most of the catalog migrated to Crunchyroll, and the Funimation app was shut down. If you are comparing against Funimation, compare against Crunchyroll — that is where its entire library lives now.
- Crunchyroll absorbed the Funimation catalog, so this matchup decided itself: everything Funimation offered now lives in Crunchyroll.
