Borbalo is the App for Drivers. It will remind you and make it easier for you to pay fines on time, and it will also make it easier for you to buy parking permits. After adding a car to the application, you will receive all types of newly printed fines, i.e., patrol, video, and parking fines. Borbalo will also send notifications when important dates for these fines are approaching, for example, when the discount period is about to expire, or the rate is to increase. With a glance, you will know for what reason, by what amount, and when you were fined. The numbers in the circle on the side indicate how much time is left until the end of a particular period. To learn more, click on the penalty and see the offense's place, exact time, and article. Borbalo also offers other services. For example, you can quickly pay for Zonal Parking with us - in three steps: just choose a car, enter the number of the place and turn it on. You'll pay for parking until you're done parking from the App, and don't worry about being reminded from time to time that you're turned on again. Alternatively, you can purchase a long-term parking pass for your city: Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi, or Gori. All payments made with us will be stored on the Archive page for one year, and on the Garage page, you will see a summary and find out how many Laris fines you have paid in the current month. Borbalo's Automatic Payments system allows you to always pay fines at the best price on the last day of the discount. You can also purchase parking permits automatically. Borbalo - the App for Drivers.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Borbalo at 4.2 against E's 3.7. Borbalo also leads on ratings volume (326 vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). E's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Borbalo holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Borbalo has 326 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of E's written reviews are positive against 43% of Borbalo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

E ships an update every 4 months, Borbalo every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
