I'm looking for svn clients for mac and pc. My 2 criteria are quality and price (read: i'm very cheap). Any recommendations?

You can just download the binaries for the client (http://subversion.tigris.org/). If you want menu and icon support when browsing files, there's SCPlugin for the Mac's Finder or TortoiseSVN for Windows. If you want a GUI, note that the Mac's native Xcode environment has Subversion support built-in.

(All for Mac OS X:)

There's a beautiful app, Versions, http://www.versionsapp.com/, but it's around US$50. That's the one we use.

There's SvnX, http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/community/subversion, which is free but ultimately not very good (in our experience).

There's ZigVersion, http://zigversion.com/; no opinion.

But, really, a 5-second effort with Google would turn up all of this and more:
