Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MiPermit at 4.3 against JustPark Parking's 3.7. MiPermit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). JustPark Parking's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 17%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MiPermit holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 57 and 187 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of MiPermit's written reviews are positive against 43% of JustPark Parking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MiPermit ships an update every 2 months, JustPark Parking fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
