Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Edmonton 311 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NAV Drone has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Edmonton 311's written reviews are positive against 51% of NAV Drone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Edmonton 311 ships an update every 2 months, NAV Drone every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
