Simple and user-friendly, the OpenGov Mobile App allows inspectors to efficiently conduct inspections needed to approve permits and licenses -- with or without an internet connection. In addition to the ability to work offline, inspectors will be able to easily access their inspection schedule and view all the details from the application such as the applicant information, property details, uploaded attachments, and issued documents. Inspectors can also add comments for fellow permit reviewers or the applicant, ensuring that results are clearly communicated and open tasks are resolved as quickly as possible.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OpenGov at monthly against LocateAccess's every 16 months. LocateAccess's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12 vs 14.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
