Ads are relentless. They hijack a tap into a new tab, launch another app you never asked for, or quietly bounce you through two or three sites before landing where you wanted to go. AutoClose closes those tabs by itself and stops those launches before they happen, right inside Safari. BLOCK SITES, FREE, NO LIMIT Add any site to your block list and AutoClose closes any tab that opens on it, instantly, no matter how many sites you add. If that tab had already loaded something safe, AutoClose takes you back to that page instead of just closing the window. AUTOCLOSE: STOP ADS FROM OPENING TABS AND APPS Turn on the AutoClose switch and ads and pop-ups lose their favorite trick: pages can no longer force open a new tab, a new window, or another app behind your back. A link that tries to jump straight to another app gets stopped before it leaves Safari. Tabs you open yourself, and links to pages on the site you're already on, are never touched. AutoClose is free to try for 3 days, then it's part of AutoClose Premium. Blocking sites stays free forever, with no limit. QUIET WHEN YOU WANT IT Turn off notices and AutoClose works silently. Tap the same blocked link three times in a row and it offers to open it anyway, in case you really meant to. NEVER LOSE TRACK See every site AutoClose has closed, reopen any of them in one tap, and watch your running totals for tabs and apps AutoClose has stopped. LEARNS THE DETOUR Some sites bounce you through a throwaway domain before reaching the one you blocked. AutoClose learns to recognize that detour and closes it too, without ever touching a tab that's actually yours. Works in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lirely at none against AutoClose's 1. AutoClose's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
