Pi-hole with raspberrypi is free.
- thesimon 10y agoAs long as you get a free raspberrypi and free electricity.
- purrcat259 10y agoConsidering how little a Pi consumes, you might notice the electricity cost after a few years.
- rz2k 10y agoProbably 50¢/month total, 47.75¢ for the electricity[1], and 2-something cents monthly opportunity cost of $30 earning interest in a money market fund. The throughput on a Raspberry Pi isn't great though, even compared to a typical low end VPS.

- colept 10y agoThe software is free. At least when you're done with it, you get to keep the hardware which over time will pay for itself.
- leipert 10y agoCloud hosted Pi-hole is also free. You pay for the hosting. With the cloud hosting you also get a fixed ip address which you can use from all the places, while most people have dynamic ip addresses at home (which you need to track and change in all devices). Furthermore initial cost of a pi and accessories are equal to 10-20 months of hosting.
