Pihole does not natively support DNS over HTTPS as a direct upstream resolver. Pihole's blocklists are somewhat all-or-nothing and curating the correct list is a manual process. I find the Adguard search interface much quicker to use. They are good at finding blocklists I've never come across. They curate some themselves.
Likewise, to get around the DNS over HTTPS issue, there has to be yet another layer such as ubound or cloudflared running. So, my internal network has to contact pihole, which contacts cloudflared, which goes out my edge gateway, all adding latency, whereas now with Adguard DNS I can do it all on my gateway since it supports DoH natively. I had 3.2 million DNS requests last month from my network. It makes a difference.
In addition with this Adguard setup, I can have different blocklists for different devices.(the gateway can choose) Again, something pihole can't support directly because it runs as a single instance.
The next time you are 'concerned' you can offer suggestions.
What do you use since you imply people are 'wild' in a bad way to spend $16.

Do I need one for iPhone/Safari? (I use Chrome a little on the same device)
Is this a good one? Seems like a solid deal.

Does anyone know if the Family edition is limited in any way or if they have add-ons or other packages with more functionality?
I pay for AdGuard DNS. It's been more granular and consistent than Pihole. I don't use their app. This 'lifetime' version does not include their DNS services outside their free tier.

I believe doing this would provide similar functionality to what this lifetime license provides.
And then ublock origin for your browsers for better control/blocking than what is offered here.

I switched from pihole and have been more than happy with the transition. Better interface. Similar feature set and definitely easier to understand/use.
If I did want to use this on the go, does anyone have any recommended solutions for automating this to only activate when off local network? I prefer the configuration I've already done for our home network so wouldn't want to use this app when home.

Most of this is available from free apps but you need to cobble multiple together so this brings all of them into one app and is pressy cheap for lifetime. I have had lifetime for like 4 years now, so maybe less than 50c a device per year and falling. On Android it uses local VPN (you can use one plug) so the all-in-one aspect is very helpful. Blokada is a decent approximation for free (I still think).
Now if you are desktop only I would pass this is more for mobile devices (tablets, phones) where it becomes useful and pretty essential if you have Android (IMHO). On apple devices it can setup as proxy device so it has become better also in newer ios devices.
I combine this with NextDNS which is $20 a year which allows finer-grained DNS level filtering/whitelists which I point at through AG and it also uses QUIC protocol which is faster and secure so your browsing experience is enhanced. This means I do not use the adguard servers, I use NextDNS cloud servers and Adguard Pro points to them where I have mobile and athome profiles.
