Quick answer

On the web: sign in at duolingo.com/settings/super, click CANCEL PLAN, pick any reason, click PROCEED TO CANCEL, then confirm with CANCEL SUPER. You must cancel through the platform you originally subscribed on — Duolingo does not refund partial periods.

Wondering if you're paying more than you used to? the price you used to pay vs the price you pay now.

Step-by-step instructions

1

Sign in to your Duolingo account on the web

Cancellation must happen on whichever platform you originally subscribed through. If you signed up in the iOS or Android app, jump to the optional steps at the bottom — the web cancel won't work for you. If you signed up on the web, open duolingo.com in a browser and sign in.

2

Click CANCEL PLAN in the Manage subscription panel

Click your profile picture, choose Settings, then select Super Duolingo from the Subscription panel on the right. Scroll to the Manage subscription section near the bottom of the page and click the CANCEL PLAN link next to Current plan.

Pick a cancellation reason and click CONTINUE

Duolingo asks "Why are you canceling Super?" with seven options: technical issues, price range, subscribed by accident, didn't find features valuable, don't use Duolingo anymore, wanted to try temporarily, or Other. Picking a reason is mandatory — the CONTINUE button stays grayed out until you select one. Pick whichever fits and click CONTINUE.

Skip the "Going so soon?" save offer

Duolingo shows a "Going so soon?" screen offering to remind you 2 days before your free trial ends, with a big white KEEP SUPER DUOLINGO button. The reminder framing appears even if you're on a paid annual plan, not a trial — ignore it. Click the smaller PROCEED TO CANCEL link below the button.

Confirm with CANCEL SUPER in the modal

A final modal asks "Are you sure you want to cancel your subscription?" with two options: KEEP SUPER (black) and CANCEL SUPER (red). Click CANCEL SUPER.

Verify your cancellation actually went through

You should land back on the same Super settings page, but two things must have changed: the CANCEL PLAN link has been replaced with REACTIVATE SUBSCRIPTION, and the "Next payment" line now reads "Your subscription will expire on [date]." If neither change shows, the cancel did not register — try again or screenshot what you see and contact support.

If this applies to you

If you signed up through the iOS or Android app

Cancel inside the Duolingo app: tap the Super icon at the top of the home screen → Settings (gear) → Manage subscription → Cancel subscription → confirm via Apple App Store or Google Play. The in-app "Cancel" deep-links you to the App Store or Play Store — finish the cancel flow there too, otherwise the subscription stays active even though Duolingo says you canceled. Verify in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions (iOS) or play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions (Android).

If this applies to you

If you're on a free trial, cancel at least 24 hours before day 7

Duolingo's own /super page states: "Day 7 — Your account is charged, cancel anytime 24 hours before." Don't trust the "we'll remind you" toast — the reminder fires on day 5 and several Reddit users still got charged because they waited until day 7. Cancel as soon as you decide you don't want it. You keep Super features for the rest of the trial regardless.

If this applies to you

Family plan: only the family manager can cancel

If you're the family manager, follow the steps above — canceling drops all 6 members to Free at the next billing date. If you're an invited member, you cannot cancel the plan; you can only leave it (which keeps the manager paying). Tell the manager to cancel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not if the cancel actually registered. Duolingo's help center confirms "You will no longer be billed automatically once you cancel your subscription." The common gotcha is app-billed subscriptions: if you signed up via iOS or Android, the Duolingo web page can't cancel anything — only the App Store or Google Play can. Several r/duolingo threads document users canceling in the Duolingo app, getting redirected to the store, closing the page before confirming, and getting billed on the renewal date. Verify in your store's Subscriptions screen after canceling.

Officially no — Duolingo's policy is "all charges for in-app purchases are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods." In practice, refunds are often granted when requested within hours of the charge: Apple and Google Play both have one-tap refund request forms, and Duolingo's own support team will sometimes issue web-purchase refunds for unintended renewals. EU and UK users also have a 14-day right of withdrawal on new subscriptions under consumer law. If you're past all of those windows and the request is denied, your bank or card issuer can usually dispute the charge.

All preserved. Duolingo's help center is explicit: "Your streak and learning progress will not be affected." You keep your streak, XP, course position, completed units, gems, and achievements. What you lose on the free tier: Unlimited Hearts (capped at 5), ad-free experience, Personalized Practice (mistakes review), Skills practice in some courses, and unlimited Legendary challenge attempts. Your account itself stays — only the Super benefits drop off.

You must cancel where the billing lives. On iPhone: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Duolingo → Cancel Subscription. On Android: open Google Play Store → tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Duolingo → Cancel. The Duolingo app's in-flow "Cancel subscription" button deep-links you to these pages — don't close the page early thinking it's done. After canceling, the App Store or Play Store will send you a confirmation email; if you don't get one within a few minutes, the cancel did not register.

Yes, and you should — provided you do it at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Duolingo's /super page states "Day 7 — Your account is charged, cancel anytime 24 hours before." Cancellation during a trial takes effect at the trial end date, not immediately, so you keep Super features for the rest of the week. The single most common refund-request scenario on r/duolingo is users who canceled on day 6 or 7 and got charged anyway because they were inside the 24-hour cutoff.

Yes, anytime. Sign back in and click REACTIVATE SUBSCRIPTION on the Super settings page, or wait until your access expires and resubscribe fresh. Worth comparing prices before you do: r/duolingo regulars consistently report that web subscriptions are cheaper than App Store renewals in many regions, and that the in-app "60% off" holiday discount is sometimes more expensive than the standard App Store renewal. Cancel first, then shop the price on web before resubscribing.
