Duolingo plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Super | $12.99/month | 3 | +$12.99/month, 3 more features |
| Super Family | $119.99/year | 3 | +$107/year, 3 more features |
| Max | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Duolingo in for language learning, travel preparation, career development, cultural exploration. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Duolingo are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Duolingo
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Duolingo runs on ios, android, web, and is published by Duolingo Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The full record is on the Duolingo review.
Duolingo pricing questions
- How much does Duolingo cost?
- Duolingo publishes 4 tiers, from Free for Free up to On request for Max. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does Duolingo have a free plan?
- Yes. The Free tier costs nothing and covers all language courses, ad-supported, limited hearts (5-heart system). Paying starts at $12.99/month for Super.
- What is the difference between Free and Super on Duolingo?
- Super costs $12.99/month against Free, and adds ad-free, unlimited hearts, extra practice tools.
- Is the Max plan on Duolingo worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is video call with lily, roleplay scenarios, explain my answer. It costs On request against $12.99/month for Super. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Duolingo?
- The record lists 15 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for language learning, travel preparation, career development.
- Does Duolingo charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Duolingo prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Duolingo against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Duolingo to make a useful price comparison.
