Telpark allows you to pay and manage your parking in regulated areas such as the blue and green zones on public streets, just using your smartphone. There's no need to carry cash in your pockets, nor to search for a parking meter. You can make your payments, receive parking expiration alerts and cancel fine tickets without going to the parking meter. Soon with Telpark you can also use many of the public parkings in the Empark universe (largest parking operator company in Spain), in a completely paperless way: access is made via license plate optical recognition at the parking entrance and exit points and payment is automatic with your Telpark account. You can manage different vehicles and pay for them without stopping your business meeting, getting out of the cinema, nor interfering with your activity. Moreover, you don’t have to pay beforehand. These are the main advantages of using Telpark: - Pay safely in city council regulated areas without going to the parking meter and without using any paper. - Extend your parking time allowance without getting back to the car. - With one app, you can pay in the city council regulated areas and soon also at Empark car parks in Spain and Portugal. - Get notifications in your mobile when your parking time is about to expire. - Find your car thanks to the GPS position - Secure payments with credit card or Paypal - Manage all the vehicles from one single account - Without pre-payments - You can use it in more than 50 cities in Spain and 11 in Portugal - Cancel parking ticket fines directly from your mobile (in cities where local regulations allow it)

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Parking Mate App at 77% against Telpark's 26%. Telpark's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model 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. Parking Mate App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Telpark asks for nothing beyond the download.
Telpark holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Telpark has 1.2K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Telpark's written reviews are positive against 77% of Parking Mate App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
