I switched from NextDNS to ControlD because of bugs and feature requests that have been sitting untouched for literally years. I couldn’t even reach anyone to cancel my NextDNS subscription, so I did a chargeback - which went through because the card company was also unable to reach anyone there. It seems to be running in zombie mode.

I just learned about ControlD today and It seems their $2/mo per endpoint is pretty pricey. Do you just set it on your home router and that's it? I use my NextDNS with many different profiles and many unique devices. Are the ControlD features that much better? Edit: I totally missed they have a Personal tab at the top that has different pricing. It is still more expensive for their full control plan.

    NextDNS is very much alive, although progress is measured and calm¹ as compared to Control D. But it's also been rock-solid for me for years, where Control D seems to be less so². ¹ https://github.com/nextdns/nextdns/releases https://github.com/nextdns/nextdns/releases ² https://www.reddit.com/r/ControlD/comments/1irgehp/178ms_latency_today_why_is_that/mddxx06/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ControlD/comments/1irgehp/178ms_lat...

    Only 10 devices is a crazy limitation. I probably have close to 100 devices going through my DNS.

For me, I have an option from my user account in Nextdns to cancel the subscription. Didn't that work for you?

  Nope, every time I’d tried to do that I got a 500 error.

Similar experience but I used a Privacy card and just closed it.

What feature(s) are you missing? NextDNS is pretty mature, I haven't ran into anything I needed.
