Getting an overview of the different Duolingo Prices is almost impossible, as they don\u2019t provide a simple cost breakdown. We\u2019ve done our best to track down all the main Duolingo Costs and gather them here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-duolingo-isnt-it-free\"><strong>Duolingo \u2013 Isn\u2019t it free?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Unfortunately, the answer is now closer to \u201cNo.\u201d But it was different in the earlier days. When Duolingo was first made available to users over a decade ago, you didn\u2019t have to watch ads or pay any money to learn on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Back then, the company funded itself through partnerships with major outlets like CNN and BuzzFeed. As a Duolingo user, you translated snippets from these organizations\u2019 articles. Duolingo then sold those translations back to the companies, which covered their costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">This also explains why you sometimes dealt with bizarre sentences that didn\u2019t match your skill level or included unhelpful vocabulary.

And not just a few\u2014you often have to watch a short commercial after every (fairly quick) lesson. Despite this, a lot of the platform\u2019s more well-thought out features remain locked behind a paid premium subscription. So what are the current costs for a Duolingo subscription?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"duolingo-costs-at-a-glance\"><strong>Duolingo Costs at a Glance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\"><strong>Important!<\/strong> The following prices refer to purchases made via the <a href=\"\/en\/go\/duolingo\/\">Duolingo website<\/a>. If you buy through the App Store or Play Store, they may add a 30% fee on top of the purchase price. Always subscribe via the website!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Currently, there are three subscription plans that unlock all Duolingo Super content:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tR-Blog-Duolingo-Pricing.jpg\" alt=\"Duolingo Super available packages\" class=\"wp-image-232\" style=\"width:715px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Super options at a glance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">The one-month plan is billed monthly at $12.99. That works out to about $156 per year, which is fairly high. The annual plan costs a little over half that: \u20ac6.99 per month, based on a one-time yearly payment of $83.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">You can see there\u2019s not much variety. Obviously, the yearly plan is more cost-effective, or better yet, you can split the Family Plan price with up to five other people. In that scenario, especially when compared to the monthly plan, you can lower your cost to around $1.70 per month. Even with just two people, each person only pays $5 monthly, which is still less than a single-user annual plan. It\u2019s a pretty good deal and we recommend it the most out of all these options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"the-new-feature-duolingo-max\">The New Feature: Duolingo Max<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Duolingo Max is a recent subscription plan that allows AI-powered interactions through two new features. However, the forum was removed, so you can no longer exchange ideas with fellow learners or native speakers directly within Duolingo. <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/duolingo-review\">You\u2019ll find more on this in our Duolingo test!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">For now, Duolingo Max is only available for two languages, Spanish and French. However Duolingo is already working on more options! There are two payment packages: if you pay monthly, you\u2019ll spend nearly $30 for Duolingo Max. With annual billing, it\u2019s about $14 per month\u2014still more than double the cost of Duolingo Super.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\"><strong>Editors note:<\/strong> It took us forever to gather all those prices, as they are nowhere to be found on their website. You have to create an account (or sign into an existing one), and even then you cannot see all available options clearly. As I pay for a Super Family Plan personally, it did not show me any other options in the app &#8211; I had to make a new e-mail address and another account to even access those. Very annoying and not user-friendly at all. Do better, Duolingo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-the-free-trial-at-duolingo\"><strong>The Free Trial at Duolingo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">As shown in the image above, you can try Duolingo Super for 14 days at no charge. However, you have to pick which plan you\u2019d like to continue with once the trial is over, and you also need to enter your payment details upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">They won\u2019t charge you until your two-week trial finishes, but be sure to cancel in time if you don\u2019t want your account billed &#8211; ideally at least 24 hours before the trial runs out. You can even cancel as soon as you sign up for the trial if you\u2019re worried about forgetting later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/duolingo\/\"><strong>Try Duolingo for Free<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">During those two weeks, you can access all the Premium features, and no ads will play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"possible-payment-methods\"><strong>Possible Payment Methods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Currently, on the Duolingo website, you can only pay with a bank card. Many other providers now give you more payment options. To subscribe, you\u2019ll first register with an email and password, choose the plan you want, and then simply enter your card details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">If you go through the App Store or Play Store, you can also pay with store credit, which you can buy in retail outlets or online. Of course, you can just let the cost be charged to the credit card linked to your app store, if that\u2019s simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"money-back-guarantee\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Duolingo doesn\u2019t directly offer a money-back guarantee at this time. According to their FAQ, you can contact support through your user account and fill out a form if you need a refund. However, they explicitly state that this is only for exceptional cases. Forgetting to cancel on time does not qualify. It\u2019s unclear what they actually consider \u201cexceptional,\u201d but other providers tend to be more generous in this regard, as our <a href=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/blog\/language-apps-price-comparison\/\">price comparison of the top language courses<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"what-is-still-free-at-duolingo\"><strong>What Is Actually Still \u201cFree\u201d at Duolingo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Honestly, there\u2019s nothing truly free at Duolingo anymore. Technically, you can still access the basic learning path  without paying for it, but there are quite a few good features missing, as we discuss in detail in our <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/duolingo-review\">Duolingo test<\/a>. Here\u2019s the short version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Most of the features that make Duolingos teaching approach sustainable are locked behind the Premium version- e.g. personalized quiz-lessons, listening practice and correcting mistakes specifically. The free version basically comes down to memorizing sentences and reoccurring exercises. Sometimes, even short example sentences simply don\u2019t make sense for day-to-day use.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:cover {\"url\":\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/talkREAL-Sprachkurse-Testubersicht-800.jpg\",\"id\":28719,\"dimRatio\":50,\"focalPoint\":{\"x\":0,\"y\":0.47},\"minHeight\":400,\"customGradient\":\"linear-gradient(90deg,rgb(80,71,63) 50%,rgb(232,232,232) 100%)\",\"isDark\":false,\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter is-light\" style=\"min-height:400px\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim wp-block-cover__gradient-background has-background-gradient\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(90deg,rgb(80,71,63) 50%,rgb(232,232,232) 100%)\"><\/span><img class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-28719\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/talkREAL-Sprachkurse-Testubersicht-800.jpg\" style=\"object-position:0% 47%; position: absolute; z-index: -10; margin-left: -25em; filter: brightness(70%);\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"0% 47%\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container\"><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":32}},\"textColor\":\"nv-text-dark-bg\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-welcome-to-neve-this-is-a-hero-section\" style=\"font-size:32px; padding-top: 2em;\"><strong>\u2012 The Best Language Course of 2025 \u2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":23}},\"textColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:23px\">We\u2019ve tested dozens of language courses\u2026<br>But only ONE takes the #1 spot!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"20px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:group -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:buttons {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"flex\",\"justifyContent\":\"center\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><!-- wp:button {\"className\":\"is-style-primary\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/mondly-review\/\"><strong>Show Me the Best Course<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:button --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:buttons --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group --><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:cover -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"15px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">The biggest drawback for many is that you pay for the free version with your time. After each lesson &#8211; ususally no more than a few minutes &#8211; you have to watch up to 30 seconds of advertising to continue. This makes the free version far from ideal if you want to study for longer sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Furthermore, I find it questionable to confront your brain with ads when it\u2019s focused on learning. In my opinion, that\u2019s a didactic no-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"alternatives-to-duolingo\"><strong>Alternatives to Duolingo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Are the ads driving you crazy, or do you find the Duolingo costs simply too high for what you get? We\u2019ve highlighted two excellent alternatives that can easily keep up with Duolingo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"mosalingua-from-a-vocabulary-trainer-to-our-favorite-app\">Mosalingua \u2013 From Simple Flashcards to Our Favorite App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Mosalingua has truly impressed us over time because no other language course has improved so dramatically. Alongside what might be the best flashcard trainer on the market, it offers plenty of additional features. MosaSeries, for example, helps you sharpen your skills through engaging stories. And hardly any other program integrates artificial intelligence so effectively into the learning process. We really enjoy using this app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/mosalingua\"><strong>Try Mosalingua for Free<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/blog\/mosalingua-review\"><strong>Read Our Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Another big advantage: with Mosalingua, you can learn all the available languages without choosing just one at the start.

With a range of 41 languages, most learners will find what they need. And that\u2019s certainly not the only reason Mondly stands out! During our testing, hardly any other provider managed to keep us as motivated as they did. The overall package is backed by a creative learning approach and high-quality content. Great stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/mondly\"><strong>Try Mondly Now<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/mondly-review\"><strong>Read Our Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">-One small catch: Mondly isn\u2019t free.

On top of that you get access to the corresponding <a href=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/blog\/mondly-kids-review\">Mondly Kids<\/a> app, as well as a virtual reality learning environment.

What started as a unique, user-friendly approach has shifted more and more in another direction, with costs rising faster than new learning content is introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">So, is Duolingo worth it? Our verdict is similar to what we said in our own test. Duolingo is more of a starting point for beginners than a comprehensive language course. It may suit travelers looking to learn a few key words before a trip and newcomers to built a foundation in their language of choice. However, the sometimes nonsensical content pushes us toward other courses that are more solid from a teaching perspective. In fact, Duolingo only takes a ower position in our <a href=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/blog\/best-language-learning-app\/\">top 10 list of the best language-learning apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/duolingo\/\"><strong>Try Duolingo Now<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/talkreal.org\/en\/best-language-programs\/\"><strong>See the Best Language Courses<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">Because of all these factors, we\u2019re a bit skeptical about Duolingo\u2019s current path, especially with the arrival of Duolingo Max and the removal of the forum. From my perspective, they\u2019re heading in the wrong direction, and other providers have overtaken them by offering more content for a lower price. For anyone who simply wants a taste of a new language though, Duolingo can still be a good option. It undeniably has its charm and is one of, if not the most user-friendly course out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">We want to know your take on this!
