The coding practice is useful, but having a business model of charging people, hoping to catch a large number off guard, is extra shady--especially when it violates California state law that requires between 15 and 45 days notice to charge for annual renewals.

The premium "web IDE" is an absolute joke. If you write Rust or any language that demands modern tooling, this environment is totally useless, unresponsive, and severely dated. You are paying a premium price for a fundamentally subpar product. But the real scam is their illegal billing practices. I requested a cancellation and refund less than 24 hours after purchase. LeetCode immediately tried to lock me out of my money, hiding behind internal "no refund" policies that flatly violate EU consumer protection law. They force you into bureaucratic support loops and arbitrary "eligibility forms" to wear you down so they can keep your cash. They do not get to override the law with a text file policy. If you are in the EU, they are actively violating your 14-day Right of Withdrawal. It is predatory, illegal, and an absolute cash grab. Take your money elsewhere and avoid this company at all costs.

Automated renewal with no warning — weeks of silence from support I’ve been a LeetCode user for a while and have no complaints about the product itself. However, my experience with their support team has been deeply disappointing. My annual Premium subscription was auto-renewed without any prior notification or reminder, giving me no chance to cancel. When I reached out to request a refund, I was met with templated responses, redirected to fill out a form I had already completed, and then largely ignored for weeks despite multiple follow-ups. I formally raised concerns under multiple Consumer Right Acts — neither of which was ever acknowledged. Every response I received felt copy-pasted, with no genuine engagement with the substance of my complaint. A company of LeetCode’s size should be able to handle a straightforward billing dispute with basic professionalism. The lack of urgency and accountability from their support team is simply not good enough. I hope this review prompts someone with actual authority to reach out and resolve this properly.

Overpriced and hard to cancel. They billed me for months after I tried signing up for one month. I never used their service. There's better services and this is heavily overpriced.

ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS -- AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Not good experience

Although I forgot to cancel the subscription, they still were willing to help me and refunded the subscription.

Leetcode has some pretty deceptive practices regarding billing and subscriptions. They purposefully hide the cancellation and turning off auto-renew. I know this because when I sign up for things like this, the first thing I do is turn off autorenew or cancel. And I couldn't do it. And of course they also don't send a reminder that you are renewing, they just snag your money and there's nothing you can do. What does it tell you about the value of this product if they do that
