Some features are only available if you get a paid membership
You do get to use all features of Dynu services with a free account. But if you need to use say 300 hostnames, you may need to pay $9.99/year membership fee. Usually, a free account is more than enough.

In an effort to focus on simplicity, Duck DNS lacks features such as custom domains, url or port forwarding and uses just 1 domain.

Con
Difficult to use on some routers and NVRs
Routers and NVRs that give you set options (that don't include Duck DNS) won't work with Duck DNS. Apparently Duck DNS claims they support DynDNS or something of the sort, but the information it gives you, there's nowhere to plug it in in these boxes.
