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.
mPay2Park+ holds the better App Store score, 1.5 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mPay2Park+ has 211 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of mPay2Park+'s written reviews are positive against 12% of PrestoPark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
mPay2Park+ ships an update every 3 months, PrestoPark every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
