Our commitment to you

LeetCast exists because Spotify killed Chartable. These commitments exist so that never happens again.

We will never sell to Spotify, Apple, or Amazon.

Chartable was killed by acquisition. We exist because of that. Selling to a hosting or distribution platform would betray the reason LeetCast exists. This is a structural commitment, not a marketing promise.

No venture capital.

VC money comes with growth mandates that conflict with serving indie podcasters. VCs need 100x returns — that means either raising prices or selling the company. We are self-funded and profitable by design.

Indie-owned, forever.

One founder, built in North Macedonia, serving indie podcasters. The realistic ceiling for this business is $1-2M ARR — the wrong shape for venture, the right shape for an independent tool you can trust for years.

Open standard.

LeetCast is built on OP3, the open Podcast Prefix Project. Your tracking works even if you leave LeetCast. We build on top of the open standard, not against it. The opposite of lock-in.

GDPR by design.

No cookies on listeners. IP addresses truncated to /24 (IPv4) or /48 (IPv6). Data minimization as architecture, not as a compliance checkbox. We collect the minimum needed for attribution and nothing more.
