I have my DNS records hosted at
gandi.net, who are also my registrar. I
have been using for the last 10-15 years with no problems.
I have heard the that you shouldn't have your register be the same
company as your DNS provider, and I intend to revise this proposition.
If the argument still holds then I would keep
gandi.net as my registrar
look for a different DNS service.
I tried a lot of third-party DNS services for about five years before
settling on
gandi.net. Some were very expensive and some were not.
There was no difference in the quality of service and quality of support
between the expensive and inexpensive ones, but I never had any luck
with the free ones.

There's an email I don't even remember every how many months, requiring 2
clicks to keep the free subscription active, and that's all

I was just investigating free alternatives myself earlier today. (I
have not yet come up with a conclusion.)
I currently use the free
he.net ivp6 tunnel so I may already be set up
for their free DNS service, but I don't know yet. (I can recommend the
tunnel.)
Most of the articles on the web mention:
Dynu,
afraid.org, Duck DNS, and No-IP
among a few others. The latter sounds like they are really pushing
their paid model, though. (OTOH each of the above has paid tiers for
all but the most basic users.)
If you are using pfSense like I am, they already support:

I would be happy to hear of actual experiences with any of these.
