I've been a NextDNS user for years now, and am trying out ControlD (last week) before I commit to switching. NextDNS development seems to have stalled and there are a number of conveniences missing, such as being able to label allowlist entries (ControlD supports this). Also, running the NextDNS app on a device that use a different profile then the one on my home router results in constant issues when the device wakes from sleep (not able to resolve domains for a noticeable amount of time on wake). NextDNS claims this is an Apple issue, but I don't think that's entirely true. Certainly not a problem for other similar services.

I'm seeing ControlD as much more feature-rich and the service is evolving faster. I also personally like the UI a bit more vs NextDNS. Prices are comparable.

It looks like cost is not comparable. ControlD pricing is per user and a router costs $5/month, but NextDNS is a flat $20/year.

So ControlD would be significantly more than NextDNS for me personally.

StackSocial has a five year deal for $39.99 https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/control-d-5-year-subscript...

It's very much comparable...for personal use: https://controld.com/plans?step=plans

Their "personal" pricing is $20 per year. It looks like they've moved that to a separate pricing page and are gearing the other for business use.
