Lotably vs. ParqEx: Which Parking Platform Fits You

ParqEx and Lotably both help you enforce parking, but they come at it from different directions. ParqEx is a broad smart-parking platform with an enforcement app inside it. Lotably is an enforcement-and-payments platform first, built so citation revenue settles to your own account. Here is how they compare.

What ParqEx does well

ParqEx positions itself as a smart-parking platform. Its Enforcer app lets property managers and enforcement staff verify vehicles across one or many properties, snap a photo, run mobile license plate recognition, log a violation, void mistakes, and maintain a do-not-tow list. Around that, the wider ParqEx suite includes access control, guest parking, and reservations. If you want those pieces bundled together for a residential or mixed-use property, that breadth is the draw.

Where Lotably is different

• Getting paid, not just logging violations. Lotably collects citation payments online by number, plate, or QR code, with funds settling directly to your own Stripe account. Payment is the core of the product, not an afterthought.
• Monthly parkers and billing. Lotably manages monthly parker rosters and bills them by card, ACH, or net-term invoice, and an active permit automatically prevents a wrongful citation.
• White-label and multi-tenant. Every operator or brand gets its own branded workspace, domain, fines, and payout.
• Transparent entry pricing. $99/month plus 5% per citation paid online, published, not quote-only.
• Broad verticals. Private lots, management companies, campuses, hospitals, and districts, not only residential properties.

Where ParqEx may fit better

If your priority is a single platform that combines access control, guest parking, and reservations with enforcement for a residential or mixed-use property, ParqEx's broader proptech scope may suit you better. Lotably focuses on enforcement, citation payments, monthly parkers, and pay-to-park rather than gate access or guest reservation booking.

Side by side

• Core focus: Lotably, enforce and collect payment online. ParqEx, a smart-parking suite with enforcement inside.
• Payments: Lotably settles citation revenue to your own Stripe. ParqEx centers on violation logging and access.
• Monthly parkers: Lotably includes roster management and billing.
• Branding: Lotably is white-label and multi-tenant by design.
• Best fit: Lotably for operators focused on citation revenue under their own brand. ParqEx for properties wanting access and guest parking bundled with enforcement.

How to decide

If you mainly need to control access and register guests, look closely at ParqEx. If you need to issue evidence-backed citations and actually collect on them online, with the money in your own account, Lotably is built for that.
