Gotta admit, I didn’t do a thorough comparison. I have no idea if the other serves are better. However, this one was recommended by a bunch of videos I watched…

However, I did test it on two devices for a few months, and realized I need more capacity. I was happy with the filters, logging and other features, so I figured it’s fair to charge for all of this.

It’s basically like having a pihole, but someone else takes care of hosting, admin work, updates, hardware maintenance, software troubleshooting, mobile client development and all that. Sure, admin stuff can be fun when it’s a hobby, but I felt like I get plenty enough admin work. That itch gets sufficiently scratched as it is, so paying for someone else to take care of it is fine.
