Flowbird is included as the third vendor because, unlike many app-only providers, it offers
both mobile payment software and physical parking hardware (meters/pay stations),
making it a common municipal competitor to ParkMobile.
I. Implementation Costs
ParkMobile
ParkMobile typically operates with little or no upfront software licensing cost for
municipalities. The company often recovers costs through convenience fees charged to
users and negotiated transaction sharing. Municipalities generally pay for:
·
Signage installation
·
Back-office integration
·
Enforcement integration
·
Optional custom branding
ParkMobile states it integrates with most existing meter and enforcement technologies.
Typical municipal startup cost:

generator and the addition of a parking payment app service may increase overhead. Members of
committee requested staff develop a model integrating both the current physical meters and Park
Mobile payment app in a revenue-neutral format and present it at the next committee meeting.
