Pi-Hole vs AdGuard vs NextDNS (monero.town)

I use Pi-Hole and works great. I've heard about AdGuard and seems the same thing as PiHole, but you have to install an app/extension. Everyone in this community recommend NextDNS. Whats the difference between them?

Ah, Portmaster. I tried to use this about three times over the past years but I find it extremely complicated and unituitive. Might be just me, though.

I can see the appeal of blocking stuff on network level with Adguard/Pihole (though I've never succeeded implementing them into my home network), so you just have to install it once and not on every device but you're argument that it doesn't work on the road is obvie true.
