There privacy policy is succinct and to the point:

https://nextdns.io/privacy

> 1. We do not (and will never) sell, license, sub-license or share any of the data submitted directly or indirectly by our users with any person or entity.

Which is easily said. Whereas their pricing page tells a different story:

https://nextdns.io/pricing

> Completely free during the beta, then free up until about 300,000 DNS queries/month — $1.99/month for unlimited queries.

... which makes for a very particular business model indeed.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Which makes me wonder how they keep the lights on, and where the money comes from.




Im failing to see how the privacy and pricing pages stand in any kind of contrast to each other.

This business model is like literally every other SaaS platform that has a free tier. Would you trust them more if they had no free tier?
