Only what the app costs. The parking fee comes on top in every app and is the same everywhere. For the parking fee we use exactly the time you park; a municipality that bills in blocks can charge a little more. For SimplePark we include the € 0.29 per top-up, for a top-up of € 25; smaller top-ups cost a little more, and with direct debit it is € 0.29 per invoice, which you get every month you park. Text message reminders are not included.
Where EasyPark is strong
EasyPark works in more than twenty countries and in parking garages too. You can use it with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and in some parking garages your parking action starts and stops on your license plate. Parkmobile and Park-line are now part of EasyPark. If you park almost every day, the Go subscription can cost less than paying per parking action.
Where SimplePark is different
- A fixed amount. You pay € 0.29 per parking action, whether you stay 10 minutes or an afternoon. On top of that comes € 0.29 per top-up or direct debit.
- No subscription. If you don’t park for a month, you pay nothing that month.
- Always an end time. When you start, you choose until when you park. At that time your parking action stops by itself, even when your phone is off.
- See what it costs first. You see the zone, the rate and the maximum parking time before you start.
- Support on WhatsApp, day and night.
Which one suits you?
If a parking action costs you less than about € 2 to € 3 in parking fees, EasyPark Small is cheaper: 15% of that is less than what SimplePark costs. Exactly where that line falls depends on how much you top up at a time. If it costs more, you pay less with SimplePark. If you park almost every working day, EasyPark Go pays off. If you also want to park abroad or in parking garages, you can with EasyPark and not with SimplePark.
