Small, on purpose, expanding honestly.

LADLE launched with two primary markets — Canada and the United States. Cards from most other countries work through Stripe. The table below is the honest state: what’s GA, what’s supported, what’s case-by-case, and where we can’t operate at all.

The interface is English. The model is not.

The LADLE marketing and product interface is English-only today. The underlying Claude Sonnet model is competent in 40+ languages and will respond in whichever language you write in. Localized UI is not on the roadmap for 2026; if it becomes an adoption blocker at scale, we’ll say so in the changelog and prioritize accordingly.

Where we can’t operate at all.

LADLE follows US and Canadian sanctions law and cannot provide the Services to residents of, or organizations located in: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk (sanctions compliance). This is not a business decision; it’s a legal requirement. If sanctions status changes, this list changes. Individuals from these regions living elsewhere are not blocked.

How we decide what to add next.

Adding a country properly means three things: local-currency billing at the correct rate (Stripe handles most of this), tax collection where a threshold is reached (harder — it requires registering with the local tax authority), and a support time-zone commitment we can actually keep. We add markets when volume from that region justifies the operational overhead, not because it looks good on the map.

If your region is “supported” (card works, no local tax collection) and you’d rather see it move to GA, email partners@ladle.chat with your org size and the tax framework you’d need us to collect under. Real demand signals move roadmap; wishlists don’t.
