BURLEY, Idaho & SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 15, 2026--

Lease End, the leading platform for simplifying the auto lease buyout process, today announced results for Q3 2026, reporting 48% revenue growth over Q3 2025 while serving 46% more drivers year-over-year.

The results extend a growth streak that has seen the company post 1,559% growth since 2021 — all while remaining bootstrapped and profitable. Lease End was also recently ranked in the top 17% of the fastest-growing private companies in America in the 2026 Inc. 5,000.

"We’re on a mission to build the world’s most loved products, and there are few stronger signals that you’re on the right track than sustained, consistent user growth," said Lease End Co-Founder and CEO Brandon Williams. "More drivers than ever trusted us in Q3 with one of the biggest financial decisions they'll make this year, and they did it because the experience actually works for them, with no dealership, no runaround, no fees they didn't agree to. That's the pattern for everything we build. Find what drivers dread most, absorb the complexity ourselves, and hand back something that just works."

Product Innovation

The growth comes on the heels of two of the most significant product launches in company history:

• Payoff Intelligence: The newest agent in Lease End's AI Constellation, built to do one thing relentlessly — get a driver their lease payoff amount. The agent works through the fragmented maze of lease-provider portals, chatbots, phone trees, email chains, and live support reps that make payoff figures notoriously hard to obtain, turning weeks of consumer legwork into a background task.
• Lease End Marketplace: A two-sided platform that gives drivers a new path to exit a lease early, while giving inventory-starved dealers direct access to high-quality used vehicles.

"Our products are an extension of the culture we've built here," said Lease End Co-Founder and CRO Zander Cook. "The difference this year is speed. When everyone in the building agrees on what a good outcome for a driver looks like, you can move with pace to solve new pain points and deliver great experiences. Payoff Intelligence and Lease End Marketplace both came out of that. We're building the technology and infrastructure layers the industry could never figure out how to build, and we're not slowing down."
