How to Cancel Duolingo Plus (Super) — Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

⏰ 1-2 minutes medium Last Updated: 2026-05-22 $6.99/mo Reviewed by Bill Vampire Editorial Team

Duolingo's free version is fully functional for learning — you just deal with ads and limited hearts. Canceling Super (formerly Plus) doesn't affect your streak, XP, or progress.

Official account or cancellation path Duolingo Plus

Open subscription settings

On iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Duolingo. On Android: Google Play → Menu → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Duolingo. On web: duolingo.com/settings/account.

Duolingo Super is almost always billed through Apple or Google, not Duolingo directly. Check your app store first.

Find your Duolingo subscription

Locate Duolingo in your active subscriptions list. Tap on it to see plan details and renewal date.

Tap "Cancel Subscription"

Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel free trial". Confirm when prompted.

If you're on a free trial, cancel before it ends to avoid the first charge. You keep the trial until the expiry date.

Already charged? Keep the receipt and the cancellation confirmation. They are the useful part of a refund request.

Confirm cancellation

Confirm your cancellation. Super features (no ads, unlimited hearts, offline lessons) remain active until the end of your billing period.

Your streak, XP, league position, and all progress are 100% preserved on the free plan.

⚠️ Watch out

✓ Refund may be possible

Since most subscriptions are through Apple/Google, request refunds through reportaproblem.apple.com or Google Play. Duolingo direct subscriptions can be refunded by contacting their support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my streak if I cancel Duolingo Super?
No. Your streak, XP, leagues, achievements, and all learning progress are completely preserved on the free plan. Only premium perks (no ads, unlimited hearts) are removed.
Can I still learn on free Duolingo?
Absolutely. Free Duolingo gives you access to all courses and lessons. You'll see ads between lessons and have limited hearts (5 mistakes before waiting), but the learning content is identical.
Can I get a refund from Duolingo?
Request refunds through Apple App Store (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play (play.google.com/store/account) since most subscriptions are billed through them.
What's the hearts system on free Duolingo?
You start with 5 hearts. Each wrong answer costs 1 heart. When hearts run out, you wait a few hours to refill or do practice sessions to earn them back. Super removes this limit entirely.
