The claim, plainly

As of February 2018, ParkMobile was the only product in the US market enabling consumers to both park on-street and make off-street parking reservations.

Assessment

A competitive feature audit of commercial parking applications in the United States as of February 2018 confirms that ParkMobile was the only consumer-facing product offering both municipal on-street metered parking payments and advance off-street garage/event reservations within a single integrated mobile app. ParkMobile integrated off-street reservations into its core app in May 2017. Major competitors specialized in only one category: SpotHero and ParkWhiz focused exclusively on off-street reservations without on-street municipal payments, while Passport and Pango provided municipal on-street payments without private commercial garage reservation marketplaces. PayByPhone announced an off-street partnership with ParkJockey in late 2015 but did not deploy a unified consumer reservation product in the U.S. prior to 2018, and OEM integrations like INRIX Reserve & Pay were automotive platform features rather than consumer mobile apps.

In May 2017, ParkMobile launched an updated consumer application integrating advance off-street garage reservations directly alongside its on-street municipal payment service.
As of February 2018, leading off-street reservation apps SpotHero and ParkWhiz did not support municipal on-street parking meter payments.
Municipal on-street payment providers such as Passport and Pango did not offer off-street commercial parking reservation marketplaces as of February 2018.
PayByPhone had not deployed a unified off-street reservation and on-street payment consumer application across the U.S. market prior to February 2018.
