Duolingo referral
You get: Free Super Duolingo time when you sign up · Referrer gets: Free Super Duolingo time (amount varies by current offer)
Duolingo referrals do not pay cash: the reward is free Super Duolingo subscription time, granted to the referrer and the new learner alike. The referee signs up through the referral link and starts using the app, which triggers the reward. Duolingo adjusts the amount of free time and the cap on how many referrals count fairly often, and the offer can differ by country and by whether you have subscribed before. We deliberately do not print a figure here: check the referral section inside your Duolingo app, which is the only source that reflects what is actually on offer today. On RefDuo, getting matched with a referrer is free — the reward comes from Duolingo itself.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Duolingo referral programme work?
Your referrer sends you their invite link. You create your account through that link and start using the app. Free Super Duolingo time is then credited to both of you.
How much is a Duolingo referral worth?
The reward is subscription time, not money. Duolingo regularly changes how much time is granted and how many referrals count toward it. Check the referral section of your Duolingo app for the figure that applies right now.
Does Duolingo pay cash for referrals?
No. Unlike banking or fintech programmes, Duolingo rewards you exclusively with premium subscription time. If you are looking for cash rewards, browse the Fintech or Banking categories on RefDuo instead.
Do I need a Super subscription to refer someone?
No. The referral programme is open to free accounts — it is in fact a common way to get Super Duolingo without paying for it.
