The short version

  • Only Nextdoor for Government has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Nextdoor for Government reaches only the residents who already use Nextdoor, so coverage varies sharply by neighbourhood; eCode360 eCode360's own vendor site now redirects to ICC Code Solutions, stating eCode360 is now part of ICC Innovation, indicating General Code has been absorbed into ICC rather than operating as an independent vendor
  • They diverge on capability: Nextdoor for Government covers Agency Posts, eCode360 covers Online Code Publishing.
