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.

Another question: does enabling the paid version use more battery? I heard there were (are?) issues when the ads are blocked some apps may keep trying and logs millions of DNS inquiries, which drains the battery
uBlock Origin is great for desktops.

It helps to auto skip the affiliate links for most sites. You may need to whitelist some sites as you start using it, and some sites will break so you can turn it off manually in the meantime and then back on when you are finished with that site.
After the initial setup period, it works great though. I wish I could use this for iOS.

Best desktop browser ad blocker: uBlock Origin (soon to be only available for Firefox)
Best Android browser ad blocker: Kiwi or Firefox with uBlock Origin (soon Firefox only)
Best iOS browser ad blocker: Safari with Adguard

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.
If you install a DNS-wide ad-blocker and point your router and/or DNS resolvers to these custom DNS servers, you and anyone who uses your network will be safe from the scum of today's internet that is the ads.
