Parking Spaces
$50 – $200 per space / mo
Storage Units
$25 – $100 per unit / mo
Fine Collection
$25 – $100 per violation
$1,350/mo in revenue
That's over 15x the cost of your plan. The platform handles every transaction for you.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Most parking management tools are built around hardware (ticket printers, LPR cameras, gate systems) and come with the contracts, installation fees, and maintenance costs to match. Park Entra is 100% software. There’s nothing to install, nothing to mount, and nothing that breaks. Your enforcers use the devices they already carry. Your residents use the browser they already have. And because everything runs through one platform (vehicles, passes, enforcement, payments, analytics, notifications), there’s no data siloed across systems that don’t talk to each other. It’s simpler, faster to deploy, and a fraction of the cost.
Yes, and most communities start seeing returns within their first month. Park Entra lets you charge for premium parking spaces, extra guest passes, storage unit rentals, and violation fines, all collected automatically through Stripe and deposited directly to your account. Every transaction is tracked on a real-time revenue dashboard with a full ledger, so you always know exactly what’s coming in. For many properties, the revenue from parking and storage alone more than covers the cost of the platform.
No. Zero commissions, zero transaction fees from us, zero revenue sharing. Every dollar your community collects from guest passes, parking spaces, storage units, and fines goes directly to your Stripe account. We don’t touch it. You pay one flat subscription fee based on your unit count and that’s it. Other platforms take 5–15% of every transaction, which adds up fast when you’re collecting thousands per month. With Park Entra, your revenue is yours.
Never. Some parking platforms nickel-and-dime residents with setup fees, registration charges, or monthly subscriptions just to access the system. Park Entra includes vehicle registration, guest passes, violation history, and full portal access at no cost to your residents. Ever. The only charges are optional services your property controls, like extra guest passes or premium parking spaces. That revenue goes to your property, not to us. Your residents get a better experience and your community gets a new income stream.
No, and that’s a major advantage for everyone involved. Parking apps are one of the biggest adoption killers in property management. Residents don’t want another app cluttering their phone, half of them never download it in the first place, and the ones who do are stuck dealing with login issues, version updates, storage warnings, and OS compatibility problems every time their phone updates. Apps glitch, they crash, they drain batteries, and they break silently after OS updates. Then your office gets the support calls. For property managers, that means tickets about crashes, residents locked out because they forgot their password on a different device, and constant pressure to maintain separate iOS and Android builds. It’s expensive, fragile, and creates more problems than it solves. Park Entra is built mobile-first. Every screen is fully optimized for phones and tablets, so it looks and feels like a native app without actually being one. Residents tap a link, save it to their home screen if they want, and get the same smooth, responsive experience as any app from the App Store, without the download, without the updates, and without the storage. It works on every device, it’s always on the latest version automatically, and there’s nothing for your office to troubleshoot. Your residents get an app-quality experience with zero app baggage.
No, and that saves your property thousands. Any device with a browser works: phone, tablet, or laptop. Enforcers look up plates, log scans, issue warnings and citations, and attach photo evidence right from their pocket. No handheld scanners to purchase, no proprietary hardware to maintain, no software licenses per device, and no training beyond “open the browser and search.” Your enforcement team is operational the moment they get their login.
Cancel anytime from your account settings. No contracts, no penalties, no cancellation fees, no phone call required. We’d rather earn your business every month than lock you into a contract you can’t leave.
Most communities are fully live in under an hour. Create your property, add your units, invite your staff, and share the resident access code. Residents self-register their vehicles and start creating guest passes immediately, with no onboarding calls, no implementation fees, and no waiting on a sales team to flip a switch. You’ll have your first enforcement data flowing the same day you sign up.
Yes, and it’s built for exactly that. Security companies, property management firms, and HOA portfolios can oversee dozens of communities from a single login. Each property has its own data, staff, rules, and settings with complete tenant isolation. Nothing bleeds between communities. Switch between properties in one click without logging out. Add a new property in minutes, not days.
Absolutely. Park Entra uses row-level security, encrypted connections, and strict tenant isolation. Your community’s data is never visible to other properties. Our infrastructure is hosted on AWS and the platform is built and maintained in Irvine, California. We take data privacy seriously so you never have to worry about it.
