Duolingo Plus-specific things to know

A few things that might affect your Duolingo Plus cancellation or help you avoid common issues.

Your streak continues after cancelling
Cancelling Plus doesn't affect your learning streak or progress. You keep all your achievements and can still use the free version.
Plus features work until billing period ends
After cancelling, you can still use Plus features like unlimited hearts and offline lessons until your current billing period expires.
Family plans cancel for everyone
If you have a Duolingo Family plan, cancelling will end Plus access for all family members on your plan.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's actually billing you

Look at your credit card or bank statement. If you see Apple or Google charges instead of Duolingo, you'll need to cancel through the app store.

2. Deleting the app doesn't cancel Plus

Removing Duolingo from your phone doesn't end your subscription. You'll continue being charged until you properly cancel through your account or app store.

3. Access continues until your next bill date

After cancelling, you can still use Plus features until your current billing period ends. The subscription won't auto-renew after that.

Other options to consider

If cost is the main concern, you might be able to switch to a cheaper billing cycle instead of cancelling completely.

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Switch from monthly to annual billing

Annual plans typically cost less per month than monthly billing

Share Your Plan

Duolingo offers a Family plan that covers up to 6 people, which can be more cost-effective than individual subscriptions.

Alternative ways to cancel Duolingo Plus

If you can't cancel through your Duolingo account, you may need to go through app stores. The right option depends on how you're being billed.

Apple App Store

If you subscribed through the iPhone or iPad app, cancel through your Apple ID subscription settings.
