Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PARK'nPAY at none against PSHARE's shown. PARK'nPAY also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PSHARE's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
