On the web, go to your profile picture, Settings, Super Duolingo and Cancel subscription.

Common problems

I deleted Duolingo but I'm still being charged

Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel. Cancel the same way you subscribed, using the steps above.

Something went wrong with my subscription

Duolingo says to submit a bug report (through its support request page) and choose "Purchase Issue". It notes it can't access the iOS App Store or resolve issues with it.

Refunds and your final bill

  • Duolingo says canceling doesn't retroactively refund payments, and past fees can't be prorated by cancellation date. It has a separate help article, "How do I request a refund?".

Make sure it worked

  • Keep the confirmation email, a screenshot of the confirmation screen, or any reference number.
  • Check your next card or bank statement to confirm the charge has stopped.
