There are two possible routes, and using the wrong one is why people cancel Duolingo Super and still get charged. Check which applies to you first.
This is the step people skip. Duolingo Super can be billed either by Apple (if you subscribed inside an iPhone or iPad app) or by Duolingo Super directly (if you signed up on their website). Only the biller can cancel it.
To check: open Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. If Duolingo Super appears there, Apple bills you — use route A. If it does not, use route B.
Go straight to the Duolingo Super cancellation page →
Worth knowing: Most people subscribe in the iOS app, which means the website cannot cancel it — go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions instead. Family Plan members need the plan owner to remove them.
You return to the free version with hearts and ads. Your streak, XP, and progress are untouched.
Always confirm it worked. Look for a cancellation email, and re-open the billing page to check the status reads cancelled or "ends on [date]". Then set a calendar reminder for the day after the period ends and check your card statement. A surprising number of cancellations do not take on the first attempt.
Most services have a cheaper tier that people never look at, and several offer a pause instead of a cancellation. If you use Duolingo Super occasionally rather than never, a lower plan or a temporary pause usually beats cancelling and resubscribing at a higher price later.
Recurra keeps your remaining subscriptions in one place and reminds you before each renewal — so the next one does not catch you out. No bank login, no account.
