Techpinions publishes analysis and opinion about the technology industry, along with practical software guides. This page explains how that work gets made, who is accountable for it, and what to do when we get something wrong.
What we publish
We are an opinion and analysis publication, not a newsroom. Our writers interpret industry events rather than break news about them. When we cover a product launch, an earnings report, or a market shift, the value we intend to add is the argument about what it means, not the announcement itself.
That distinction shapes everything below. Analysis can be wrong in ways reporting can’t, and it can be right in ways that are hard to verify. We try to be explicit about which parts of a piece are fact and which are our reading of those facts.
Software guides
Our software guides compare tools, often free or low-cost ones, for a specific kind of user or business. They are research-based: we work from each vendor’s official website, pricing pages, and documentation, and from what users report on major review sites. We do not present these guides as hands-on lab testing, and we do not invent user quotes or testimonials.
Each guide states how it was put together and includes a section with the author’s own take on the options. Prices and plan limits change often, so we date-check them at the time of writing and tell readers to confirm details on the vendor’s site.
Sources and evidence
We link to primary sources wherever they exist. When we cite a figure, we name where it came from and when it was published. Financial and market data is stamped with a date, because it goes stale quickly.
We do not publish claims sourced only to unnamed aggregators or to other outlets’ summaries of a document we could have read ourselves.
Independence from advertisers
Advertisers and sponsors have no input into editorial coverage. No advertiser sees a piece before publication, and no coverage decision is made on the basis of a commercial relationship. Sponsored content, if we run it, is labeled as such and is not written by our editorial staff.
See our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure for how commercial relationships work here.
Corrections
We correct errors rather than quietly deleting them.
- Factual errors are corrected in place, with a dated note at the bottom of the article explaining what changed.
- Substantive changes to an argument or conclusion are noted the same way.
- Typos and formatting fixes are made without a note.
- We do not unpublish articles because they turned out to be wrong. An analysis publication that deletes its bad calls isn’t worth reading.
To request a correction, email david@techpinions.com with the article URL and the specific claim you’re disputing. We respond to every correction request, including the ones we decline.
Updates to evergreen pages
Some pages, such as market data, IPO trackers, and software roundups, are updated on a schedule rather than rewritten. Those carry a visible “last updated” date. A refreshed date means we reviewed the whole page, not that we changed one word.
