Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Free plan Duolingo itself is free (with ads); cancelling Super Duolingo keeps the free courses apps.apple.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: Google Play asks for a cancellation reason in a pop-up before the final Continue
  • Turn off Apple auto-renewal more than 24 hours before the period ends; Apple charges the renewal within the last 24 hours
  • Uninstalling the Duolingo app does not cancel a Google Play subscription
  • If the subscription is not in your Apple or Google Play list, another company bills you: check your bank or card statement

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/duolingo.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
