It took me a long time to find a suitable Subversion client for the Mac. What really sold me initially was its look and feel. It's way more feature rich than Versions, but also has the same elegance and simplicity of a native Mac app. It also has a tremendously powerful built-in diff viewer and merging tool which has become essential when working with larger projects. Also, when working with large teams, being able to view diffs during a commit process is great since it gives you the ability to write details on specifically what you've changed; it's a huge time saver.
I compared three clients in Deveo’s SVN client comparison, SmartSVN, svnX and SnailSVN. All of them are free, at least for personal use. In my opinion, you should test different options in order to find the most suitable option for you. All the clients are different, and their workflows differ. You've got a few free options available to you: SmartSVN - a cross-platform solution that will work on Windows, Mac and Linux. Pysvn - another cross-platform client, free of course. SCPlugin - Mac-only, integrates into Finder. SCPlugin was inspired by TortoiseSVN, so if you're a fan of that one then maybe give it a go!
If you're on the fence about a SVN app, this is definitely the app to go for. Nothing else even comes close.

I have heard only good things about Versions (I haven't tried it myself, moved all my projects to git):
You also have the command line svn installed already.
While it isn't free, I'm partial to Cornerstone. Seems worth the money to me.
