Per-session fees in places where the fee is published, by the company that runs the app. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.

Every place in the data, by state. The source column names where each fee comes from and when that page was last updated or checked. A city name links to its Park Graph parking page when there is one.

The fee in this report is paid by the driver, on top of your rate. Park Graph charges a per-transaction software fee on the operator side and does not add a separate convenience fee on the driver. Drivers scan the QR code on your sign and pay the rate you set, with no app to download. See Park Graph pricing for the fee on each plan, or compare Park Graph with the apps above:

Park Graph collected the per-session fee a driver pays to start a parking session by app in each U.S. place where an app company or the city publishes it: ParkMobile, PayByPhone, Passport, Flowbird, Park Smarter and city-branded apps run by those companies. Sources are the app companies' own help pages and official city pages. Where a company page and a city page disagree, the CSV's fee_notes column says so.

A place with no published fee keeps its row, shown here as Not published. Membership plans the app companies offer, and their prices, are in the CSV's membership columns. Every row was checked on Nov 5, 2026.
