The easiest way to handle how to cancel Duolingo Plus is directly through the Duolingo website. This method works if you subscribed on the web or through Duolingo’s own checkout. Log in from any desktop browser and follow these steps. You will keep access to all premium features until your current billing period ends.

If you subscribed to Duolingo Plus through an iPhone, iPad, or Mac using in-app purchase, you must cancel through Apple. Duolingo cannot cancel App Store subscriptions on your behalf. This is the same process used to cancel any iOS subscription. If you see APPLE.COM/BILL on your statement, this is the method to use when you want to know how to cancel Duolingo Plus from an Apple device.

Android users who subscribed through the Google Play Store must cancel through Google Play. If your bank statement shows GOOGLE *DUOLINGO, this is the correct cancellation path. Duolingo cannot process refunds or cancellations for Play Store purchases directly.

If you are having trouble cancelling online or are dealing with a billing issue, you can contact Duolingo support directly to request cancellation. This is also the right approach if you were charged after already cancelling, or if you want to dispute a charge. Learning how to cancel Duolingo Plus through support is also useful if you cannot locate your subscription in your device settings.

If you set up your Duolingo Plus payment through PayPal, you can cancel the recurring billing agreement from within your PayPal account. You should also cancel directly within Duolingo’s settings to avoid any account issues.

Figuring out how to cancel Duolingo Plus is generally one of the simpler subscription cancellations out there. The website method takes under two minutes, and the iOS and Android paths are equally fast.

Duolingo’s general terms state that subscription payments are non-refundable. However, if you subscribed through the Apple App Store, you can request a refund through Apple’s standard process at reportaproblem.apple.com – Apple handles these independently of Duolingo. Similarly, if you subscribed via Google Play, you may be eligible for a refund through Google’s support within their standard refund window, typically within 48 hours of purchase.

If you subscribed directly through Duolingo’s website, refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis. Duolingo may grant refunds if your card was charged without your consent, if you were billed after a cancellation request, or in cases of duplicate charges. Contact support@duolingo.com with your account details and a description of the billing issue. For settlement-related or chargeback options when a direct refund is denied, see our guide to the best class action settlement apps.
