How we test tools for Nepal

What we verify

• Access from Nepal without a VPN where possible.
• Useful free tier, realistic NPR-equivalent pricing, and renewal warnings for paid tools.
• Payment paths Nepali readers can actually use, including local-wallet or card-link realities when relevant.
• Practical value for at least one audience: students, freelancers, or small businesses.
• Affiliate bias risk: every paid recommendation must mention a free alternative when one exists.

Update cadence

Money pages and payment guides are checked quarterly because fees, limits, offers, and withdrawal rails change quickly. Resource links are rechecked quarterly, and homepage picks rotate monthly.

Status labels

“Works” means the link was verified alive. “Check first” means the service is alive but bot-protected and should open normally in browsers. Where we could not confirm from Nepal, the entry says so.
