# Mobile EdTech Apps Statistics 2026: Users, Revenue and AI

Duolingo averaged **58.7 million** daily active users (DAUs) in Q2 2026, up **23%** year over year.

> **Key finding:** Coursera reported Q2 2026 revenue of **$298.6 million**, up **60%** year over year, driven primarily by the inclusion of Udemy’s results beginning May 11, 2026. Normalized revenue fell, so learner and subscriber counts give a cleaner read on demand than the headline revenue jump for now.

Read the timing with care. Pew’s teen chatbot survey, covered next, is a single fall 2025 snapshot, so it cannot show whether chatbot use caused the revenue decline.

- Teachers who use AI tools at least weekly save an average of **5.9 hours** per week, amounting to six weeks over the school year.
- Only **32%** of teachers report using AI at least weekly, according to the Gallup-Walton Family Foundation poll.
- Preparing lessons (**37%**) is the most common use among teachers using AI at least monthly.

> **Why it matters:** Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation found weekly AI users save **5.9 hours** per week, yet **40%** of teachers still aren’t using AI at all. The two surveys measure different things: teacher use of AI tools here, and teens who have ever used chatbots for schoolwork help in Pew’s survey.

## Young Children’s Mobile Device Ownership Statistics

- By age 2, **40%** of children have [their own tablet](/tablet-statistics/), according to Common Sense Media research released Feb. 26, 2025.
- By age 8, one in four children have their own cellphone.
- About one in five children use mobile devices for emotional regulation, mealtimes, or to fall asleep.
- Nearly one-third of parents report their child has used AI for school-related learning.
- The census is more than a year old, so read it as the latest available baseline rather than a current-year count.

| Measure | Share of children (%) |
|---|---|
| Own a tablet by age 2 | 40 |
| Own a tablet by age 4 | 58 |
| Own a mobile device, age 8 and younger | 51 |

## Smartphone Bans in Schools and Global Connectivity

- UNESCO’s GEM Report counted **19** more education systems banning [smartphone use](/smartphone-statistics/) in school during 2024.
- That brought the total to **79** education systems, or **40%**, by the end of 2024, up from **60** at the end of 2023.
- ITU says 5G now accounts for more than one third of all mobile broadband subscriptions.
- Mobile broadband coverage is nearly universal, but quality and affordability gaps persist.
- School bans govern class time, while consumer learning apps compete for the hours outside it, so the two trends can rise together.

| Indicator | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Education systems banning smartphones in school | 60 (30%) | End of 2023 |
| Education systems banning smartphones in school | 79 (40%) | End of 2024 |
| People offline worldwide | 2.2 billion | 2025 |

## Conclusion

Duolingo’s **58.7 million** daily active users and the **54%** of teens who have used chatbots for schoolwork help show where mobile learning stands. Duolingo’s daily users keep climbing, while chatbots now compete with study apps such as Chegg for homework help.

Duolingo’s medium-term goal is **100 million** DAUs in 2028. The next test is whether Coursera and Udemy can turn a combined learner base into growth, and whether Chegg’s decline levels off.
