Duolingo is notorious for offering a 14-day free trial of "Super Duolingo" (formerly known as Duolingo Plus), but leaving auto-renewal turned on. If you forget to cancel before the trial period ends, you are abruptly charged for an entire year upfront.

Here is exactly how to stop your Super Duolingo free trial from converting into an expensive annual fee.

⚠️ Crucial Deadline: You must cancel your Super Duolingo free trial at least 24 hours before the 14-day mark to guarantee you aren't charged by Apple or Google's payment processors.

Method 1: Cancel via the Duolingo App

This is the most direct way to cancel, regardless of whether you are on an iPhone or an Android device.

1

Open the Duolingo app

Launch the app on your mobile device and make sure you are logged into your account.

2

Tap the Super icon

At the top of the home screen, tap the Super Duolingo icon (it looks like a multi-colored gem or heart).

3

Open Settings

Tap the Settings gear icon located in the top right corner of the Super Duolingo dashboard.

4

Tap Manage Subscription

Select "Manage Subscription", then scroll down and tap "Cancel subscription". Confirm your choice to end the trial.

Method 2: Cancel on iPhone (via Apple ID)

If you're using an iPhone and your trial was initiated through the App Store, you can always circumvent the app completely.

  1. Open your iPhone Settings app.
  2. Tap your name / Apple ID at the very top.
  3. Tap Subscriptions.
  4. Find "Duolingo" in the list and tap it.
  5. Tap Cancel Free Trial and confirm.

Method 3: Cancel on Android (via Google Play)

If you signed up on an Android, your billing is handled by Google.

  1. Open the Google Play Store app.
  2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
  3. Select Payments & subscriptions, then tap Subscriptions.
  4. Tap Duolingo and hit Cancel subscription.

Method 4: Cancel on a Desktop Web Browser

If you initialized the trial directly on Duolingo.com, you must cancel it there too.

  1. Log in at duolingo.com.
  2. Click your profile avatar in the upper right.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. On the right side of the screen, click Super Duolingo.
  5. Select Cancel subscription and confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my streaks if I cancel Super Duolingo?

No! Canceling Super Duolingo does not affect your language progress, daily streaks, XP, or crowns. You simply revert to the free version which has advertisements and a daily limit on 'hearts' (mistakes).

Can I cancel Super Duolingo and get a refund?

If you missed the trial cutoff and were charged, you must request a refund through the platform you used. If charged by Apple, go to reportaproblem.apple.com. If charged by Google Play, request it via play.google.com within 48 hours. Duolingo support typically does not issue manual refunds for mobile signups.

Does deleting the Duolingo app cancel my subscription?

No. Deleting the app or even deactivating your Duolingo account will not stop the automatic subscription charge. You must formally cancel the subscription through Apple, Google, or the Duolingo website setting first.
