How to Cancel Super Duolingo (and What You Keep for Free)
To cancel Super Duolingo, turn off auto renewal at the place that charges you: the Duolingo website or app if you subscribed directly, the App Store if you joined on an iPhone, or Google Play if you joined on Android. Your paid features stay active until the end of the period you already paid for, and the free version keeps teaching the same lessons.
What Super Duolingo (and Duolingo Max) actually costs
Pricing shifts by region and by the promotion you see, so treat these as illustrative rather than a quote. Super Duolingo for one person usually runs in the region of €60 to €90 a year when billed annually, with monthly plans costing more per month. The Family plan covers up to six people and often lands near €120 a year, which is cheap per head but a real line item if only one person uses it.
Duolingo Max is the higher tier that adds AI features on top of Super. It costs more, and in many markets it is sold monthly or yearly at a clear premium over Super. The cancellation steps below are identical for Super and Max because the biller is the same.
The free trial trap
Most people do not mean to pay. They start a 14 day free trial, the trial quietly converts to a paid year on the final day, and the charge appears weeks later when they have forgotten the date. There is no warning ping the morning it renews. If you are inside a trial and you already know you do not want to keep it, cancel now. You keep the trial benefits until the trial ends, and you simply will not be charged.
The one rule that matters: cancel where you subscribed
This is where most cancellations go wrong. Deleting the app does not stop the billing. Emailing Duolingo does not stop an Apple charge. You have to cancel at the biller that actually takes your money.
If you subscribed directly on the Duolingo site or app
- Open Duolingo on the web or in the app and go to your profile, then Settings.
- Find Manage Subscription or Super Duolingo.
- Choose Cancel and confirm. You should see a date through which access remains active.
If you subscribed on an iPhone or iPad (Apple)
- Open Settings and tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select Duolingo, then tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
If Duolingo is not in that list, you did not subscribe through Apple, so check the Duolingo settings or Google Play instead.
If you subscribed on Android (Google Play)
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Tap Duolingo, then Cancel subscription and confirm.
You keep the lessons for free
Cancelling Super does not erase your account, your streak, or your progress. Duolingo’s core courses are free. What you lose is the comfort layer: unlimited hearts so mistakes do not stop you, an ad free experience, and a few practice extras. The actual teaching, the lessons, the speaking and listening exercises, the daily streak, all of that stays. Many people study perfectly well on the free tier with ads.
How it shows up on your bank statement
Direct charges typically appear as a Duolingo line, but App Store and Google Play bundle it under Apple or Google with a reference number, which is exactly why people miss it. A €7 monthly charge from “Google Play” rarely jumps out. This is the kind of quiet recurring cost that hides in plain sight. If you want to find every subscription you are paying for in one pass, VESTELON FLOW reads a single bank statement and lists each recurring charge, with a free first report and no bank login required. It is the fastest way to confirm whether that Apple line is Duolingo or something else.
What to do with the money
Say you cancel a €72 a year Super plan you were not really using. That is €6 a month. Redirected into a savings transfer or a real goal, it compounds quietly in your favour instead of out of it. The point is not that language learning is a waste, it is that paying for a tier you do not use is. Keep the free lessons, keep the streak, and let the €72 work for you.
Common questions
Will I lose access the moment I cancel?
No. Cancelling stops the next renewal, but your Super features stay active until the end of the period you already paid for. After that you drop to the free tier.
Can I get a refund if I forgot to cancel before renewal?
It depends on who billed you. Apple and Google handle refunds through their own request processes and decide case by case, and direct refunds depend on Duolingo’s policy in your region. Asking promptly and politely gives you the best chance.
Does deleting the Duolingo app cancel my subscription?
No. Deleting the app does nothing to the billing. You must cancel at the biller, whether that is Duolingo directly, the App Store, or Google Play.
