Case Study: Duolingo’s Monetization Mastery [Premium PDF Report]

How does a company offering "free education" reach a $1 billion revenue run rate?

I've just released an in-depth case study examining Duolingo's journey from scrappy startup to edtech unicorn and the strategic choices that made it possible.

135 million monthly users. $748M revenue. 8% conversion rate.

Most apps either charge everyone or monetize through ads. Duolingo cracked a third way: make learning so addictive that users choose to pay.

This case study includes financial analysis, competitive benchmarking, global expansion tactics, and the ethical tensions of monetizing education.

Here’s what you’ll find inside this actionable case study:

• ✅ How Hearts and Leagues drive an 8-9% freemium conversion rate

• ✅ The A/B testing culture that powers 40-50% YoY growth

• ✅ Why the CEO chose teaching quality over short-term monetization (and the stock dropped 30%)

• ✅ GPT-4 integration and the future of AI-powered learning

• ✅ The "unhinged" TikTok strategy that added 60M users with minimal ad spend

Take a peak of what's inside this Case Study:

The monetization mechanics, the AI strategy, the "unhinged" marketing, the ethical tensions—it's all there.
