About Us

TechyJar helps people choose the software that keeps them safe online, and use it well. We review VPNs, antivirus software, password managers and parental control apps, along with the web hosting and website builders that small businesses and creators rely on. We also publish free guides on online safety for students, families, seniors and communities that are often overlooked.

What we cover

  • Security software: VPNs, antivirus and password managers, including the best free options.
  • Family safety: parental control apps and guides for parents and educators.
  • Web tools: hosting providers and website builders.
  • Safety guides: practical advice on scams, elder financial exploitation, internet addiction and staying safe online.

How we review

Every review compares products on the same points: their security record, independent audits and lab results, the features you actually get, the price after the first term, refund terms and support. We keep the facts current and show the date each review was last updated at the top of the page. When a product changes, shuts down or is overtaken, we update our picks.

How we make money

TechyJar is free to read. Some links on our reviews are affiliate links: if you buy through one, the company may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide our rankings, and we recommend free tools whenever they are good enough. Read our full disclosure for details.
