Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Solve SF holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solve SF has 65 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Report It! SMC's written reviews are positive against 79% of Solve SF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Report It! SMC ships an update every 3 months, Solve SF every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
