Frequently Asked Questions

TuanOps is an independent tool review site for developers, indie hackers, and small teams. I test and compare the best IT infrastructure tools — VPS, cold email, newsletters, website builders, automation platforms, and AI agents — so you don't have to spend days researching before you buy.

No. Every review reflects my own hands-on experience and research. Some links are affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you sign up — at zero extra cost to you. This never influences ratings or rankings. I'll tell you when a tool has significant flaws even if it has an affiliate program.

I review pricing and features monthly. Each tool page shows the last update date. Pricing in the SaaS world changes often, so always verify on the vendor's site before purchasing.

I prioritize tools that are actively maintained, have a clear pricing page, and serve the developer/indie hacker audience. I test each tool myself, read community feedback on Reddit and Indie Hackers, and compare them against alternatives before writing a verdict.

Yes — email me at hello@tuanops.dev with a short description of the tool and why it would be valuable to my audience. I can't guarantee I'll review every submission, but I read them all.

Badges are my editorial opinion based on price-to-value ratio, reliability, and fit for indie hackers and small teams. 'Best Overall' means I'd pick it with no budget constraints. 'Best Value' means it punches above its price point. 'Best for X' means it excels in a specific use case.
