  • Only Citizen has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Citizen the App Store listing for Citizen: Safety & Live Video (seller sp0n, Inc., matched) states the base app is free but gates police/fire scanner audio, detailed incident archives and multiple alert zones behind a Citizen Premium subscription tier, whose price is not disclosed in the listing.; SeeClickFix now marketed as SeeClickFix 311 CRM under CivicPlus; pricing is gated behind a Request pricing button with no figures published
  • They diverge on capability: Citizen covers Real-time Alerts, SeeClickFix covers Issue Reporting.
