The short version

  • Only Citizen has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: SeeClickFix now marketed as SeeClickFix 311 CRM under CivicPlus; pricing is gated behind a Request pricing button with no figures published; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: SeeClickFix covers Issue Reporting, Citizen covers Real-time Alerts.
