The short version

  • Only Trivy 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; Trivy reports what public advisory databases know, so coverage varies by ecosystem and unfixed CVEs create noise
  • They diverge on capability: SeeClickFix covers Issue Reporting, Trivy covers Multi-target scanning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Trivy

  • Reports what public advisory databases know, so coverage varies by ecosystem and unfixed CVEs create noise

  • Findings are point-in-time from CI, with no continuous runtime monitoring unless you add the commercial platform
