Forgot where you parked? uPark+ saves your location, lets you snap a photo, sets timer reminders, and navigates you back, all in one tap. You know it, in a strange city on the road, or found no parking space nearby and already you ask yourself, where I actually parked? With the uPark+ app, you can easily mark your current parking spot and navigate back there later. If you are in an underground parking lot, just take a picture of the parking lot number. Is something missing? Then give me feedback. :)

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: uPark+ at Free against ParqTime's $0.99. uPark+ also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). ParqTime's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
