Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of Duolingo, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Duolingo. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.
-
Duolingo Max (Annual). Correction 2026-09-11: The annual discount of 53% was removed from "Duolingo Max (Annual)". The recorded $14/mo is this plan's own note's $168 yearly total over 12 months, so the saving is already inside the figure, while the page prints the percentage as a further discount off the same row — offering a reader $6.58/mo. Removed rather than moved: a distinct annual plan with no monthly row of its own. The note still describes the term in full. No price changed.

This standing as a plaque
Duolingo currently holds a gold deskmark here — Rank 1 of 7 · Language Learning. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Duolingo moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
