I used it at home and liked it... for 10 days, after which it stopped working because I'd hit some limit. For 1 computer, 1 Amazon TV stick, and 1 phone that I barely use, 10 days max is pretty bad.
So I uninstalled it and went with adguard, which doesn't arbitrarily stop working.

The free(!) plan includes 300,000 queries per month. That is transparent everywhere. On the website, pricing page and in the dashboard. You can even see how much you have already used. That's pretty fair for a free service for which you pay nothing. For me, that's enough for a whole month.

1. NextDNS sends an email before the limit is reached
2. Once the limit is reached, no more ads are blocked, but dns continues to work
Hey if it works for you, great. It didn't work for me. 10 days casual use for 1 person and then "pay me" is not a positive experience, so I found another solution.
How many days should a paid service give you free casual use for a positive experience?
You are using a consumable (CPU & data transfer, along with your desired amount of analytics data storage) that they pay for, and, shockingly, they are not ad supported.
I currently use a pi-hole. In a home of 2, we have 74k queries per day. That would effectively be a 4 day trial... so I can understand the other person's frustration.
