Your favorite websites, one tap from your Home Screen. Shortcuts Browser helps you create a separate Home Screen shortcut for each website you visit often. Tap a shortcut to open that site in the app’s Safari view. Keep recipes, news, reference pages, and other everyday sites close at hand. GET STARTED WITH A GUIDE Enter a website address and follow the setup guide. Copy the prepared link and use Apple’s Shortcuts app to create the shortcut, then add it to your Home Screen.

Shortcuts Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
