Updated 2026-05-03 · 2 min read

Cancel Duolingo Super from iOS, Android, or the web. Your streak, XP, and progress are yours forever. What changes when you lose unlimited hearts and streak freeze.

Quick answer

Most Duolingo Super subscriptions are managed through Apple or Google. Cancel via iPhone Settings > Subscriptions, or Google Play Store > Subscriptions. Your streak, XP, and all course progress stay on your account. You lose unlimited hearts and streak freeze when the subscription ends.

Overview

Duolingo's free plan covers every language course they offer. Super removes ads, adds unlimited hearts so wrong answers don't stop your lesson, and includes streak freeze as a backup. If you're canceling because the ads are annoying but the content is fine, the free plan gets you everything except those quality-of-life additions.

TL;DR

  • Cancel through Apple (iOS) or Google Play (Android), not Duolingo directly in most cases
  • Your streak, XP, and course progress are never lost on cancel
  • You lose: unlimited hearts, streak freeze, offline lessons, no ads
  • Family plan subscribers cancel through the Family plan holder's account
  • No mid-period refunds outside of the platform's own refund policy

Frequently asked questions

Does my Duolingo streak get deleted when I cancel Super?

No. Streak, XP, crowns, and course progress are permanently tied to your account and do not change when you cancel Super.

Can I still learn for free after canceling Duolingo Super?

Yes. Every Duolingo language course is free. Super removes ads and adds hearts and streak freeze. The actual course content is unchanged on the free plan.
