How TechNovice is Funded

TechNovice is an independent technology publication. To keep my field tests, research and articles freely accessible, the site is funded in part through affiliate partnerships.

Affiliate Partnerships

TechNovice works with selected providers in areas such as eSIMs, digital services and cybersecurity. These include Saily, Holafly and NordVPN, among others. Partnerships may change over time.

What Does This Mean for You?

Some links on TechNovice are affiliate links. I also publish discount codes that I verify directly in the provider's checkout where possible.

If you use one of these links or discount codes and make a purchase, TechNovice may receive a commission. This does not add any extra cost to you.

Current discount conditions, restrictions and verification dates are documented in the relevant articles and coupon guides.

What Don't Affiliate Partnerships Influence?

Affiliate partnerships do not change my testing criteria or how I report results. Positive and negative experiences are published alike.

Hands-on field tests are based on documented measurements and real-world use. Where I have not completed a field test, I clearly identify this and base the article on verified provider information, checkout tests, direct support inquiries and, where useful, clearly identified third-party sources.

I do not present provider information or third-party experiences as my own test results.

Testing Methodology

For a detailed explanation of how I test eSIMs, document measurements, verify prices and discount codes, and separate hands-on field tests from researched comparisons, visit my How I Test page.
