I love NextDNS (https://nextdns.io) and I've been paying for it for many years.

My only complaint is that on macOS, I cannot automatically turn the service off on certain wifi networks. This feature exists on the iOS app but is strangely missing on the macOS app.

+1 I love the parental controls I can limit social media to only a few hours a day ( only on my phone profile) And it has good Tailscale integration!

+1 for NextDNS.

Been a happy user for a few years now and introduced many non-tech friends/family into the world of 99% advert-free internet.

Better than NextDNS ?

Pi-hole operates on your local network.

NextDNS performs the same thing but on the public internet, removing the dependency on a VPN to the private local network.

Pi-hole has served me well enough over the years, haven't felt the need to look at other options.

Couldn't tell you, since I never used any other options. I started at pi-hole and never had a reason to look for alternatives.
