The P+R CFL app gives you the opportunity to use the P+R facilities in a modern, digital and seamless way. Get your subscription, or your ticket for a CFL P+R within the app and use the P+R with only very limited interaction at the P+R lot itself. As soon as you have registered your car, you can enter and exit the P+R by using LPR (license plate recognition), and either pay your subscription beforehand, or pay for your parking session via the app. Additionally, for gratuity enabled P+Rs, like Belval, Rodange and Mersch, when you use the train, the bus or any form of soft mobility to leave the vicinity of the P+R, the first 24 hours of parking will be for free!

In the Smart Shuttle from Stadtwerke Trier, the journey is entirely up to you: you simply book your journey in the app and we come to pick you (and a maximum of five other passengers) up at your stop in Trier at the indicated time. Our modern electric minibuses will then take you to your desired stop within a shuttle zone. Depending on your needs, you can of course connect to the normal city bus network here. This way we avoid unnecessary empty runs and protect the environment. In addition to the daily service between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., the Smart Shuttle runs on Fridays and Saturdays at night after the last night bus until 8:30 a.m. the following day in an extended night area. This means that night owls can travel by bus or shuttle 24 hours a day on Fridays and Saturdays! Passengers can conveniently pay in the app, or deposit credit at the city bus centre at Treviris Passage.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Smart at fortnightly against P+R CFL's every 3 months. P+R CFL's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.7.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
