What happens after cancellation

  • You keep Super/Max features until the end of the current billing period.

  • After that, you revert to the free Duolingo tier.

  • You'll see ads again and lose unlimited hearts (lives).

  • Your streak, XP, progress, and all course data are preserved forever.

  • Duolingo Max AI features (Roleplay, Explain My Answer) stop working.

Will I lose my data, playlists, or history?

All your learning progress is permanently saved — your streak, XP points, completed lessons, course progress, and achievements remain intact on the free tier. Duolingo does not delete any user data upon cancellation. The free version is fully functional for learning; you just get ads and limited hearts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1Will I lose my Duolingo streak if I cancel Super?

No. Your streak is saved regardless of your subscription status. However, without Super, you lose streak freezes (unless you buy them with gems) and unlimited hearts, which makes maintaining a streak slightly harder.

Q2Can I still learn on Duolingo for free?

Yes. Duolingo's core language courses are completely free. Super removes ads and gives you unlimited hearts. Max adds AI conversation practice. But all lessons and courses are accessible on the free tier.

Q3What's the difference between Super and Max?

Super Duolingo ($6.99/mo) removes ads and gives unlimited hearts. Duolingo Max ($12.99/mo) includes everything in Super plus AI-powered features: Roleplay (practice conversations with AI characters) and Explain My Answer (AI explains why you got something wrong).

Q4Will Duolingo offer a discount to keep me?

Yes. When you try to cancel, Duolingo typically offers a discounted rate or a free trial extension. You can accept the offer or continue with cancellation — it's up to you.
