Why is Duolingo free

Our mission is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available-and that's why we're committed to making Duolingo courses free for all learners.

We believe in technology's ability to democratize education, while recognizing that tech innovation is only part of the puzzle. Our free model improves access to high-quality language, music, and math education-proving that when it comes to education, the best things in life really are free!

Is Duolingo free?

Yes! Everyone can access Duolingo's courses without spending a cent: Whether you enroll in one language course or 40, whether you study music for fun or math to stay sharp, you never have to pay to use Duolingo. So how is that possible?

Thanks to in-app ads and our subscription services-Super Duolingo and Duolingo Max-a small number of Duolingo users pay to make courses free for learners all over the world. For those looking for an ad-free experience with gamification perks or next-level AI-powered features, Super Duolingo and Duolingo Max give learners more flexibility in their learning journey. And they help make the courses themselves free for everyone!

*Why* is Duolingo free?

World-class education has long been a luxury only afforded to those with the resources to afford it, but Duolingo levels the educational playing field by eliminating the financial barrier altogether.

We believe everyone deserves the chance to improve their careers, academic prospects, and lives through education. Our commitment to remaining free is rooted in our commitment to democratize education while still having plenty of fun along the way!
