Hoping to book Preply lessons at a Black Friday price? Preply doesn't sell a fixed course: each tutor sets their own rate, so its discounts look different from an app sale.
This post covers whether Preply runs a Black Friday sale, what it offered in past Novembers, and the official discounts you can use now.
Is there a Preply Black Friday sale in 2026?
Not as of November 11, 2026. Preply's guide to discounts says it has no permanent public promo code. Instead, it sends limited-time offers by email or shows them in your account, for example on a first trial, a second trial or a first subscription. If Preply runs a November offer this year, look for it there. Preply also says codes on coupon and deal sites usually aren't its own and won't work at checkout, though codes from its official campaigns with partners do. Some affiliate sites, such as Mezzoguild's 2026 Black Friday list, advertise 50% off a first Preply lesson, so check the price at checkout before you count on it.
Learners haven't found a Black Friday sale either. In a November 2025 thread on r/dreamingspanish, a learner said they hadn't seen anything for Preply or italki.
What did Preply offer in past Novembers?
In 2024, Preply ran a "November-exclusive" offer: new users got their first trial lesson free with any tutor, with no code needed, from November 4 to 30, 2024. We found no similar Preply offer for November 2025.
How can you pay less on Preply?
These are the discounts Preply describes on its own site:
| Discount | What you get | Who qualifies |
|---|---|---|
| Student's referral link | 70% off your first trial lesson | New users booking a tutor who charges $7 an hour or more, within 90 days of signing up |
| Tutor's referral link | 30% off your first trial lesson | New users, same $7 minimum |
| University student discount | 15% off the first payment of a monthly subscription | Students with a university email address |
| Limited-time offers | Varies | Shown by email or in your account |
Only one discount applies per purchase. See the student referral rules, the tutor referral rules and the student discount page for the details. Preply has no renewal or loyalty discount, so the best long-term saving is a bigger plan: Preply says the price per lesson is lower when you take more lessons a week.
Is it worth waiting for Black Friday on Preply?
No. Waiting for a sale Preply hasn't announced costs you weeks of lessons. If a friend already uses Preply, their referral link takes 70% off your first trial, which beats most seasonal discounts on that lesson. Then use the trial to judge the tutor rather than the price. Trial lessons last 25 or 50 minutes, and each tutor gives you one.
When we used Preply to learn Portuguese for our Preply review, finding the right tutor took some time, and lessons then ran on a subscription billed every 28 days. A discount on your first trial helps most while you're still comparing tutors.

If you want speaking practice between lessons, our pick is Copycat Cafe (we make it). You hear an everyday conversation, say each line aloud with a 0–100 pronunciation score on every word, then use it with Copy, your AI conversation partner. From November 22 to December 1, 2026, Personal and Family plans are 40% off: $17.40 a month or $104.40 a year in the US instead of $29 or $174, and you keep that price when you renew. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.
