Crunchyroll in Colombia: how to watch anime without overpaying every month

Quick answer: According to Crunchyroll's announcement of February 2, 2026, in Colombia the Fan plan costs COP$16,900 per month and Mega Fan COP$19,900. Paying less doesn't mean looking for a borrowed account: it means not upgrading your plan without need, comparing the web price with the app store price, and not paying for two channels at once.

Note: this guide has no affiliate links and doesn't depend on any brand; it gathers what the site's own help pages say.

I see this all the time: someone subscribes on a long Sunday with the laptop on the coffee table, approves the charge from their phone, and six months later is still paying for a plan they don't use. Let's sort that out.

What changed in the monthly price

On February 2, 2026, Crunchyroll published new prices for Colombia: Fan went from COP$12,900 to COP$16,900 per month and Mega Fan from COP$15,900 to COP$19,900. For existing paid monthly subscriptions, the change was applied at the first billing after March 4, 2026.

That deadline has already passed. If your subscription is older, you should be seeing the new price on your receipt. My advice: open your latest receipt or your card statement and confirm which plan and what amount you're being charged. The receipt beats any figure you read in a blog, including this one.

Watch out for two things. Don't add 19% VAT on top of those figures yourself, because there's no official table showing it separately. And if you see dollars on the Premium page, you probably loaded it as if you were outside Colombia: those are not your prices.

Fan or Mega Fan: pay only for what you use

The catalog Crunchyroll cites exceeds 50,000 episodes, 25,000 hours and 2,000 series and films, always subject to availability in each region.

My plain opinion: if you watch anime alone or with a partner on the same sofa and download on a single device, stay on Fan and avoid the jump to COP$19,900. Mega Fan makes sense if several screens are really on at the same time or you want HD downloads. Note: the announcement mentions download on 1 device for Fan, not how many simultaneous screens it allows, so I won't promise you a number.

Two things you won't find here: Ultimate Fan is not on the list of countries Crunchyroll Help published on October 7, 2026, and Colombia does not appear; and manga is not available in every region either. Don't pay thinking about those benefits.

Where the charge inflates: web versus app store

According to Crunchyroll Help, the plan and price depend on the payment method, and what you see may vary due to local taxes. In practical terms: before subscribing, open crunchyroll.com/premium in a private window from Colombia and note the amount. Then check how much Apple, Google Play, PlayStation, Amazon or Roku show you. I won't invent a difference percentage for you, but comparing takes two minutes.

If you're already billed through a store and want to switch to the web, the order matters:

1. Cancel the subscription on Apple, Google Play, Amazon or Roku.
2. Wait until your account shows as Free.
3. Subscribe again at crunchyroll.com/premium.

If you skip step two, the risk is paying through two channels. On payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover cards are accepted, and prepaid cards don't work for recurring subscriptions. PayPal does not appear as an option for Colombia in what I saw; confirm it at checkout.

Prepaid PINs: yes, but compare first

Crunchyroll Help lists prepaid codes for Colombia sold through Posa and several distributors, including Paga Todo/Gelsa, Moviired, La Rebaja, Practisistemas, Super Pagos, Recargamos.co, ComercialCard, MovilServicios, FullCarga and Geek City. Redemption is done in the browser, signed in to your account, on the redemption page and with the code exactly as it appears, not inside the app. Posa clarifies that its PIN is valid only for the service in Colombia, is non-refundable and does not allow resale.

Here's the catch. The Posa listing I checked on October 11, 2026 still showed amounts like COP$12,900 (Fan, 1 month), COP$15,900 (Mega Fan, 1 month) and COP$159,000 (Mega Fan, 1 year). Those figures predate the February announcement: don't treat them as the current official rate. Before paying, compare the PIN's printed value with COP$16,900 or COP$19,900 and with what the Premium page shows you. Redeem it on your own account and don't buy it from a reseller.

How to stop the charge without losing what you've already paid

What doesn't work: deleting the app, logging out or removing the card. None of that cancels. You have to cancel where you subscribed: the web, Apple or Google within the app, or the partner that bills you. Your premium access continues until the end of the period already paid.

• If you entered only with a code and no payment method, access ends on its own when the code runs out.
• Pausing the subscription is only described for those who subscribed through Google Play.

My habit: set a calendar alarm two days before each renewal and check whether you actually watched anything that month.

If you're staying home on Monday, October 12, 2026

It's the perfect moment to review your plan: you have time, you're in front of the screen, and the next renewal hasn't arrived. Check plan, billing channel and date. If instead you're going away for a few days, you can look for a short stay. According to the active listings on Colombia Move (October 2026) there are 3 active temporary housing listings and demand exceeds supply. If you're going to a farm, the weekend farm guide (in English) explains how to book with a deposit and clear details.

One final warning: don't share your password or buy a "screen" over WhatsApp. Crunchyroll asks you not to share your login with anyone, and whoever hands it over loses control of the account. The profile PIN is for separating household profiles, not for selling access. And if your thing is figures or merch and you want to get rid of some, that's another round: where to sell used items in Colombia works, but it isn't a way to pay your subscription.

The price that counts is the one you see on the Premium page from Colombia, in a private window, on the day you pay.

Frequently asked questions

❓ How much does Crunchyroll cost in Colombia per month?

The February 2, 2026 announcement set Fan at COP$16,900 and Mega Fan at COP$19,900 per month. Existing monthly subscriptions changed at the billing after March 4, 2026. The price shown at checkout, viewed in a private window, is the one that counts (verify with the official source).

❓ Is the Fan plan enough for me?

Fan is enough if you want the library without ads and downloads on one device. Mega Fan adds streaming on 4 devices at once, HD downloads and Game Vault. Ultimate Fan is not listed among the countries published for Colombia (verify with the official source).

❓ Is it cheaper to subscribe through the app?

It may be a different price, because the plan depends on the payment method. Compare the web in a private window with Apple or Google Play. If you switch, cancel the old channel and wait for the account to show as Free before paying again (verify with the official source).

❓ Do COP$12,900 PINs still work to pay less?

That figure is what a distributor listing still showed on October 11, 2026, not the official announced price. Redeem a Colombian PIN in the browser, on your own account, and don't resell it. Always compare with the current price (verify with the official source).

❓ How do I stop paying without losing what I've already paid?

Cancel where you're being billed; deleting the app doesn't stop the charge. You keep premium until the end of the paid period, and a code without a card runs out on its own. Pausing is only described for Google Play (verify with the official source).

❓ Can I watch anime on Crunchyroll for free?

Don't count on a free catalog. In December 2025 several outlets reported that ad-supported streaming would end on December 31, 2025. Open a title without a premium session and check what it lets you watch today (verify with the official source).
