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 call

The clearest difference is rating: Telpark at 4.6 against Kinesis's 3.7. Telpark also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Kinesis's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 26%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Telpark holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Telpark has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Telpark's written reviews are positive against 54% of Kinesis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Telpark ships an update every 3 weeks, Kinesis weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
