Before joining a group Crunchyroll
Co-subscriptions are easy to understand, but it's a good idea to check how they work before you get started. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Is it compatible with Crunchyroll?
Sharesub offers cost-sharing for all subscriptions that include a group plan. However, be sure to review the terms and conditions for sharing services, and avoid subscriptions from other countries: this may limit the available content or even block access to the account.
How are payments handled?
Your peer-to-peer transactions are processed in accordance with European regulations (PSD2): the identities of the organizers are verified, and payments are held for one month to allow for any refunds.
What happens if a member leaves the group?
Members are free to leave at any time, but will not receive a refund for the current month. This allows the organizer to retain a higher participation fee, and the available spots will be moved to the top of the list to fill the group quickly.
Should you share your password?
No, most of the time, services are shared via an invitation link or an email invitation. You then join the group using your own username and password to ensure the confidentiality of your data. In the few cases where this is necessary, a secure manager is made available to you. You may also sometimes use a dedicated profile, protected by a PIN.

Which Crunchyroll plan should you choose in the UK?
Crunchyroll offers two plans in the UK: Fan, limited to 1 screen, and Crunchyroll Mega Fan, which allows 4 streams at once, offline downloads on several devices, Game Vault access and 10% off in the store. Only the second one really lends itself to sharing costs.
How the price of Crunchyroll Mega Fan has changed
Crunchyroll Mega Fan has not followed a straight line in the UK: £7.99 a month until July 2022, cut to £5.99 when Crunchyroll lowered its prices in nearly 100 countries, then raised again by £1 on 2 February 2026, applied to existing subscriptions from March 2026. The plan now costs €8.99 / month, or €2.25 per person when all 4 places are used.

Increase since 2022
The full price is going up again after the 2022 cut, but sharing brings it down to €2.25 per person when all 4 places are used.
Crunchyroll prices in other countries
Prices vary from one country to another, from €7.49 in Spain and Italy to €11.99 in Germany and Austria. The catalogue varies too: some series are streamed by a different service depending on the country.
Crunchyroll promo code or subscription sharing?
Crunchyroll promo codes are rare and almost always reserved for new accounts: the 7-day free trial, a one-off campaign or a launch price. The annual plan cuts the monthly cost, but you pay 12 months upfront. Sharing a Crunchyroll subscription brings a recurring saving: the price is lower every month, not only during a promotion.
Frequently asked questions
How can I pay less for Crunchyroll?
The most reliable option is to choose Crunchyroll Mega Fan, the plan that allows 4 streams at once, and split the cost between the members of the group. On Sharesub, a place costs €3.35 / month, fees included, instead of €8.99 for the full subscription. The Fan plan is cheaper, but it is limited to 1 screen and does not allow costs to be shared.
What is the difference between Fan and Crunchyroll Mega Fan?
Fan gives you the full catalogue and the simulcasts on 1 screen at a time, with offline downloads on 1 device and 5% off in the store. Crunchyroll Mega Fan allows 4 streams at once, offline downloads on several devices, Game Vault access and 10% off in the store. It is the only plan that lets several people share the cost.
How much does Crunchyroll Mega Fan cost per person?
In Malta, Crunchyroll Mega Fan costs €8.99 / month for 4 streams at once. Split between 4 people, that is €2.25 per person / month. On Sharesub, free places in a group are promoted so that it fills up quickly.
Is Crunchyroll still free?
No. The free, ad-supported tier closed on 31 December 2025: since 1 January 2026 a subscription is required to watch episodes. A 7-day free trial remains, cut from 14 to 7 days in 2024, reserved for new accounts and rolling over into a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends.
Can I download episodes and watch the simulcasts?
Yes. Simulcast episodes go live shortly after the Japanese broadcast, subtitled first and dubbed later for part of the catalogue. Crunchyroll Mega Fan lets you download episodes in the mobile app to watch offline on several devices; the Fan plan is limited to 1 device.
How does sharing a Crunchyroll account work?
A Crunchyroll Mega Fan subscription allows 4 streams at once and up to 5 profiles, each with its own watchlist, history and recommendations. Every member of the group gets their own profile, kept separate from everyone else's. On Sharesub, the organiser remains the account holder and manages access.
Can I join or leave a Crunchyroll group whenever I want?
Yes. You choose an offer, pay for your place online, and the organiser then gives you access to the group. If all public offers are full, turn on the availability alert to be notified as soon as a place opens up. Payment is monthly with no commitment: you can leave the group at any time, and the current month remains due.
How does Sharesub make money?
Sharesub adds a service fee to the price paid by members. It is already included in the price shown for a place (€3.35 / month). Payments are processed by Stripe, a licensed payment provider. As a financial service, Sharesub can verify organisers' identity and hold funds for the relevant period, so that a refund is possible if the month is not used.
