Cloudflare DNS Alternative: Encrypted DNS With Plan-Based Control
Why consider an alternative to Cloudflare DNS
Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 is fast and free, but it’s a one-size-fits-all product with broad analytics and no formal business or enterprise tiers. Organizations that need predictable rate limits, no request logging, or a provider that doesn’t aggregate DNS data into a larger analytics stack often look for an alternative. NETVECTOR is built for that: free, Pro, and enterprise plans with explicit limits, no request-level logging, and no repurposing of your DNS data for other products.
How NETVECTOR differs
We offer tiered plans (free / Pro / enterprise) with published rate limits and daily caps so you can plan capacity. Enterprise customers get a dedicated endpoint (e.g. /e/{token}/dns-query); SLA terms can be included in enterprise contracts. We do not log individual DNS queries and don’t feed DNS into a broader analytics or product ecosystem. If you want encrypted resolution without the “free in exchange for data” tradeoff, NETVECTOR is a clear alternative.
When to stay with Cloudflare
If you’re already deep in the Cloudflare stack (CDN, WAF, Zero Trust) and don’t need separate DNS limits or compliance documentation, 1.1.1.1 may be sufficient. For teams that want DNS-only focus, explicit plans, and no cross-product data use, NETVECTOR is the better fit.
Migrating from Cloudflare DNS
Swap your DoH or DoT resolver URL to NETVECTOR’s endpoint and add your token. No protocol change; just a configuration update. See our setup guides for desktop and mobile.
