Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: OCR Text at Free against No JavaScript's $1.99. OCR Text also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 15 months). No JavaScript's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
