Better than NextDNS ?

Pi-hole has served me well enough over the years, haven't felt the need to look at other options.

Couldn't tell you, since I never used any other options. I started at pi-hole and never had a reason to look for alternatives.

I love NextDNS (https://nextdns.io) and I've been paying for it for many years.

My only complaint is that on macOS, I cannot automatically turn the service off on certain wifi networks. This feature exists on the iOS app but is strangely missing on the macOS app.
