Is QRZ relevant today and is there an advantage to buying a Premium subscription to avoid ads? I'm considering getting a subscription
and API to use in DXKeeper/DXLab.
Unless one is pursuing QRZ.com's proprietary awards that have no
general recognition or is using QRZ Log, I have found no value in
any QRZ.com subscription. DXLab Suite can harvest QSL address data
from the web pages for free - the only limitation is on the number
of daily lookups (~100) and some speed limiting (4 per minute)
neither of which is significant unless one is trying to lookup
data for contest QSOs in real time or trying to lookup data for
a large contest log.

I'm getting back into the hobby and am interested in DXing. I currently
have little interest in QRZ awards. I'm guessing that QRZ will help with
information useful when seeking QSL cards from ops who don't use LotW.
LotW is my primary QSL route. More than 10 years ago I sought paper QSL
cards and expect to do so now for needed QSLs. I just received a WAZ award
due to my old QSL card collection and LotW.

Thanks for your insight and experience.
