Do it yourself

Cancel Duolingo yourself

TLDR: Cancel Super Duolingo in the app, on the website, or with Apple or Google if that store billed it. You keep Super features for the rest of the period you already paid. Duolingo says cancelling does not refund past charges, and those fees are not prorated. The terms say payments are non-refundable except where the law requires it.

Cancel in the Duolingo app

You started Super Duolingo in the iOS or Android app.

  1. 01Open the Duolingo app.
  2. 02Tap the Super icon at the top of the home screen.
  3. 03Tap Settings, the gear icon.
  4. 04Tap Manage subscription.
  5. 05Select Cancel subscription and continue.
  6. 06Confirm the cancellation in Google Play, the App Store, or Alipay.

Duolingo says this path follows how you first subscribed. Deleting the app or the account does not cancel.

Cancel a web subscription

You subscribed to Super Duolingo in a desktop web browser.

  1. 01Sign in to your Duolingo account in a web browser.
  2. 02Click your profile picture at the top of the home screen, then Settings.
  3. 03Select Super Duolingo.
  4. 04Select Cancel subscription and confirm.

Cancel a plan started in iPhone settings

You subscribed to Super Duolingo from the iPhone or iPad settings, or the App Store bills it.

  1. 01Follow Apple's subscription instructions.

Duolingo says it cannot open the App Store or fix an App Store problem for you. Its cancel page points to Apple and does not reprint Apple's taps.

Cancel a plan started in Android settings

You subscribed to Super Duolingo from the Android phone or device settings.

  1. 01Submit a Duolingo support request.

The cancel page says to submit a support request. It does not print the form steps.

How to know it worked

  • Your streak and learning progress stay.
  • You can use Super Duolingo features for the rest of the subscription period.
  • Automatic billing stops once the subscription is cancelled.
  • You can subscribe again later.

Watch out for

  • The cancel article Duolingo publishes is for Super Duolingo. The terms also name Duolingo Max as a paid plan. That article does not print separate Max steps.
  • Subscriptions renew for another equal period unless you cancel. The terms say you still have to sign in and follow the cancel instructions even if you deleted the account.
  • Deleting the app or the account does not cancel Super Duolingo.
  • An extended free-trial code charges the plan you picked unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. If you cancel during that trial, access ends when the trial ends.
  • A prepaid code from an employer or other provider can be ended by that provider. Your Duolingo account stays yours.
  • Duolingo says it cannot resolve App Store problems.

Duolingo refunds

  • The terms say payments are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partly used membership periods, unless the law where you live requires it.
  • The cancel page says cancelling does not refund past subscription payments, and those fees cannot be prorated from the cancel date.
  • If Apple or Google billed the purchase, they handle the payment and the refund. Duolingo cannot refund those.
  • For a Super plan bought on the web, Duolingo's refund page says to sign in, click the Super icon, and use the option to email support. A review is not a promise of a refund.
  • For Super on Android, that page says to contact support, choose Purchase Issue, and say you need a refund. Support reviews the request.

If it did not work

No confirmation email? Then it didn't happen.

Cancelling Duolingo

What people ask about Duolingo.

How do I cancel Super Duolingo?

In the app, tap the Super icon, then Settings, then Manage subscription, then Cancel subscription, and confirm in Google Play, the App Store, or Alipay. On the website, open your profile, then Settings, then Super Duolingo, then Cancel subscription.

Does cancelling Duolingo refund this month?

No. Duolingo says past fees are not refunded and are not prorated. You keep Super features until the period you already paid ends. Apple or Google handle refunds for purchases made in their stores.

Does deleting Duolingo cancel the subscription?

No. Duolingo says deleting the app or the account does not cancel Super Duolingo. Cancel in the app, on the website, or with the store that bills you.

Can you cancel Duolingo without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to Duolingo in writing, so it does not depend on you reaching a cancel button inside your account. A lost password or a locked account does not stop it.

Does the letter ask them to delete my data?

Yes. It asks the company to erase the personal data it holds on you where it has no lawful reason to keep it, and to confirm in writing once it has.
