AdGuard Home is based on the code of the AdGuard DNS server service. However AdGuard Home comes with more features onboard that aren't available with Pi-Hole or can only be installed additionally with a lot of hassle via SSH. It can be compared to Pi-Hole as it basically uses the same concept to block advertising as Pi-Hole. AdGuard Home is (as the title says) a free, open source and self-hosted DNS sinkhole Adblocker by the makers of the AdGuard app. Now mix together AdGuard and Pi-Hole: you get AdGuard Home. You bascially run your own local DNS server that blocks domains that are serving advertising on websites or other bad sites (spam, malware, etc.). Pi-Hole has become very popular as a self-hosted application for the Raspberry Pi but can also be hosted on any other normal Linux VPS. Some of you may also have heard of a free and open source project called Pi-Hole that allows you block advertising and other stuff on DNS level by sending the request to a DNS sinkhole (0.0.0.0). It is by far one of the best and most popular Adblockers for mobile devices.
It has a limited free version and a premium version based on subscription / licenses per device with much more features and configuration abilities. Many of you may already know AdGuard as a application for Android and iOS to block advertising and other bad stuff on your Android or iOS device via a local VPN or proxy on the device itself.
