Pi-hole vs Quad9

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.

Quad9

Quad9 is a free public recursive DNS resolver that blocks lookups of known malicious domains (malware, phishing, botnets), does not log users' IP addresses, and supports encrypted DNS. It is operated by a Swiss nonprofit foundation.
