Pi-hole vs PowerDNS Authoritative Server

Who’s behind each, what their homepages track, what they cost and how often their policies changed, measured the same way for both. By what they offer, they’re very close.

Pi-hole

Pi-hole is free, open-source software that runs on a Raspberry Pi, Linux machine, VM or Docker container and acts as a DNS sinkhole to block ads and trackers for every device on a home or private network. It includes a web interface, query logs, an optional DHCP server and a REST API.

PowerDNS Authoritative Server

PowerDNS develops open-source and enterprise DNS software, including an authoritative nameserver, a recursive resolver and the DNSdist load balancer. It also sells DNS security products such as malware protection and parental controls to telecom operators and ISPs.
