A NoScript equivalent for Safari! This app blocks JavaScript on any website. It blocks most: • Ads • Newsletter popups • Cookie requests • Wasted megabytes of third-party JavaScript libraries When you encounter a website with too much JavaScript, just tap share → JavaSnipt → refresh, and voilà! No more interactivity. Alternatively, you can use JavaSnipt to block JavaScript on *all* websites and allow only sites you trust. It's up to you! Some sites, like YouTube, will not work with JavaScript blocked. That's why JavaSnipt targets only sites you select. By purchasing JavaSnipt for iOS, you will also unlock JavaSnipt for macOS. Your blocked sites sync between all your devices via iCloud. The web has too many popups and third-party scripts. It wasn't designed to respect your privacy, battery life, data cap or phone-sized screen. Take back control with JavaSnipt. (The crab is Snippy, our mascot. Think of this app as him snipping away the extra JavaScript!)

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: WebTeX at Free against JavaSnipt's $2.99. WebTeX also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
