Fast Company – “Save yourself time, money, and headaches by tapping into crowdsourced wisdom about parking pricing. Like ​GasBuddy​ and so many other apps, Parkopedia depends on user-submitted data, so it may not always be perfect—and it may be better in some cities than others. But Parkopedia is available all over the world and has data for many, many places. By the way, Parkopedia has a parking reservation feature—but I’ve never used it! I use it solely as a database, and it’s a great way to get started when I’m figuring out where to park for an event in an unfamiliar city. But if you’re thinking of reserving parking online, you might also want to consider ​SpotHero​.

• You can ​use Parkopedia on the web​ as well as via the service’s native ​Android​ and ​iPhone​ apps. (But I recommend the website, as it’s simpler and more polished and doesn’t require any downloads.)
• Parkopedia is free. (The company makes money by integrating its data into other systems and by selling parking reservations, if you’re interested in that.)
• The service ​promises​ never to sell your personal data. You don’t even have to create an account or sign in to use it…”
