Super Duolingo cancellation guide

How to Cancel a Super Duolingo Subscription

Where you cancel depends on how you subscribed — and deleting the app or your account does not do it.

Quick answer

Deleting the app does not cancel it

Duolingo states that deleting the app and/or your account does not cancel your subscription.

  • You can cancel at any time, and Duolingo says you cancel based on how you originally started the subscription.
  • If you subscribed in the app, you start there and confirm through Google Play, the App Store, or Alipay.
  • If you subscribed on a desktop web browser, you cancel in your Duolingo account settings.
  • After cancelling you keep Super features for the remainder of the period, and your streak and learning progress are unaffected.

Before you cancel

  • Identify where you subscribed: the Duolingo app, your phone or device settings, or a desktop web browser.
  • Do not try to cancel by deleting the app or your account — the subscription continues.
  • If you need money back, note that cancelling on its own does not refund anything already paid.
