Verdict

The call

Park Smarter and Eventene both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Eventene's written reviews are positive against 12% of Park Smarter's. Eventene also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Park Smarter's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 7) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
