Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NYC Violations holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NYC Secure has 93 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of NYC Secure's written reviews are positive against 0% of NYC Violations's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
