Who we are

We started NeonPioneers because we kept hitting the same wall as readers.

Search for the best VPN, the truth about a coin, or whether a game is worth your money, and you get a wall of affiliate lists dressed up as journalism, listicles that clearly tested nothing, and articles written for a search engine instead of a human. The thing you actually needed was buried under everyone else's incentives.

So we built the publication we wanted to read: one that does the testing, shows its work, separates fact from rumour, and keeps its verdicts clean. If we recommend something, we used it. If we are guessing, we say so out loud.

We make money three ways, and we are upfront about all of them: clean display advertising, affiliate links, and sponsored content. When you buy through some of our links we may earn a commission, and companies sometimes pay us for a sponsored post or to test their product.

Here is the line that never moves: anything paid is clearly labeled “Sponsored,” and payment never buys a favorable verdict. A paid test gets the same honest result an unpaid one would, and our editorial picks are our own opinion, not for sale. You will always be able to tell whether a recommendation was paid.

The full detail, including how we test and how we handle corrections, lives in our editorial policy.
