How to cancel Super Duolingo
Cancel where you subscribed: on duolingo.com under Settings › Super Duolingo, in Apple’s Subscriptions on an iPhone, or in Google Play’s Subscriptions on Android. You keep Super until the end of the period you paid for.
If you subscribed on duolingo.com
- Sign in at duolingo.com in a browser and open your profile icon › Settings.
- Open the Super Duolingo (or Subscription) tab. It shows the plan, the renewal date and who bills you.
- Choose Cancel subscription and confirm. If there is no cancel option here, the plan is billed by Apple or Google; see below.
On iPhone or iPad (paid through Apple)
- Open Settings › your name › Subscriptions.
- Tap Duolingo, then Cancel Subscription, and confirm. The screen shows the date Super ends.
On Android (paid through Google Play)
- Open the Play Store, tap your profile picture › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions.
- Tap Duolingo › Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
Before you cancel
- Notice period
- None. Super continues until the end of the current billing period, then the account returns to the free version with all progress intact.
- Refunds
- No refund from Duolingo for the rest of a period. App Store and Google Play purchases follow the store’s refund rules; ask the store, not Duolingo.
- Worth knowing
- The cheap price is the annual plan, charged as one yearly payment. Cancelling mid-year does not refund the months left.
- A free trial converts on its own. Cancel it a day before the trial ends; you keep the trial until then.
- The family plan is cancelled by the person who pays. Everyone else drops to free at the end of the period.
- Deleting the app does not cancel anything; Duolingo itself says so.
Your rights in the EU
These apply in most EU countries on top of whatever the service’s own terms say. The detail varies by country, so treat this as the floor, not the full picture.
- 14 days to change your mind. For most contracts you sign online you have 14 days to withdraw without giving a reason. For a digital service you start using straight away, the seller can ask you to give up that right at checkout, which is what the tick-box you clicked past was for, or charge you for the part you used.
- Auto-renewal has to be clear. A service that renews automatically has to tell you so before you sign up, including how long each renewal lasts and what it costs. Some countries go further: in Germany, a contract signed since March 2022 can only renew indefinitely if you can then cancel monthly, and notice periods are capped at one month. France, Austria, Romania and Sweden require a separate reminder before a renewal.
- A cancel button, in Germany. If you signed up online with a company selling in Germany, its website has to carry a clearly labelled cancellation button since July 2022, and cancelling has to be as easy as signing up was. Across the EU, an equivalent withdrawal function for the 14-day right became mandatory on 19 June 2026.
- Keep the confirmation. Cancel through the account page or the official form rather than by replying to a no-reply address, screenshot the confirmation, and keep the email. If a charge lands after that date, the confirmation is what gets it reversed.

Questions
Do I lose my streak or progress if I cancel Super Duolingo?
No. Your streak, courses and XP stay exactly as they were. You go back to the free version with ads and limited hearts.
Why is there no cancel button in the Duolingo app?
Because the app store bills you, not Duolingo. Cancel in Apple’s Subscriptions or Google Play’s Subscriptions; the app reflects it within a few minutes.
Can I get a refund on the annual plan?
Not from Duolingo. If you bought it through Apple or Google within their refund window, ask them; otherwise the plan runs to the end of the year and does not renew.
