Pay nothing until it works
Signing up and listing on Parqay is free. We earn a percentage of the marketplace bookings we fill for you, plus a small service fee paid by the guest, so our revenue shows up only after yours does.
How Parqay pricing works
Parqay is free to sign up and free to list. We earn a percentage of the marketplace bookings we fill for you, and guests pay a small service fee at checkout. That is the entire model: no subscription to get started, no setup fee, and no long-term contract.
Rent collection for your own tenants runs on the same platform. Tenants pay by ACH bank transfer or card through Stripe, with an autopay toggle they control, and the exact rates that apply are shown in your dashboard. The marketplace percentage is for bookings that come through the Parqay marketplace, demand we brought you, not rent you were already collecting.
Free to sign up and list
Create listings for parking, guest suites and stays, or coworking desks and private offices without paying anything up front.
A percentage of bookings we fill
Parqay earns a share of each marketplace booking it brings you. If the marketplace does not fill your space, Parqay does not get paid.
A small guest service fee
Paid by the guest at checkout, on top of the booking price. It comes from the guest, not out of your earnings.
No long-term contract
You stay because the platform is filling your space, not because you signed a term agreement.
Why we price this way
Because it keeps our incentives aligned with yours: Parqay makes money when your space makes money. A flat software fee gets paid whether your units sit empty or full. A percentage of filled bookings only gets paid when we actually put a renter, guest, or driver into your space.
That structure changes how we build. The marketplace, the SMS concierge that answers on a real phone number, the automatic Craigslist posting for parking listings, and the city landing pages all exist because our revenue depends on demand actually arriving. Most property software tracks your NOI. Parqay is priced so that it has to grow it.
It also means we have no reason to nickel and dime the rest of the platform. Rent collection, leasing, maintenance, accounting, and the tenant portal are all part of one product, because their job is to make the income the marketplace generates easy to run.
What is included
The whole platform. Parqay does not split features into tiers, so rent collection, leasing, maintenance, accounting, the tenant portal, and the marketplace all come with your account, along with a web dashboard, a tenant web portal, and an iOS app that supports booking and rent payment.
Rent collection
ACH bank transfers and card payments through Stripe, a tenant-controlled autopay toggle, and security deposits collected before move-in, held on the platform, and refunded in one step against the original payment.
Leasing
Digital rental applications, e-signature leases that record each party's name, IP address, and timestamp, and generated lease PDFs. Renewals are handled manually today.
Maintenance
Tenant-submitted work orders with photos, AI-assisted triage and summaries, status tracking, and a full history per unit.
Accounting
Every rent payment, deposit, booking, and refund posts automatically to a built-in double-entry ledger, with enforced Schedule E expense categories, summaries by property, unit, category, and month, and CSV export.
Tenant portal
Payments, autopay, document uploads with versioned replacements, and reservation cancellation with an upfront refund preview.
Marketplace
Hourly, nightly, and monthly bookings for parking, stays and guest suites, and coworking, with search, instant booking, an SMS concierge, automatic Craigslist posting for parking listings, and city landing pages.
Leaving is easy, starting is assisted
There is no long-term contract, so you can stop listing, wind down, or leave whenever you want. Starting is assisted rather than self-serve: the Parqay team imports your data and validates it with you before you rely on it, so your first rent cycle runs on numbers you have both checked.
The only commitments that continue if you leave are the bookings and leases you have already agreed to with your guests and tenants, because they are counting on them.
If you want to talk through your specific portfolio before creating an account, ask us. We will tell you exactly what Parqay would charge for your spaces and, just as plainly, whether Parqay is a fit for you at all.
Frequently asked questions
- Where can I see exact rates?
- Exact rates are shown in your dashboard when you create a listing, before anything goes live. If you want numbers before signing up, ask us directly through the contact page and we will walk you through what your specific spaces would pay.
- Is it really free to sign up and list?
- Yes. Creating an account and listing parking, guest suites and stays, or coworking space costs nothing. Parqay earns a percentage of the marketplace bookings it fills, plus a small service fee paid by the guest, so charges only appear once money is moving toward you.
- Who pays the guest service fee?
- The guest pays it at checkout, on top of the booking price. It is a small fee, and it comes from the guest, not out of your side of the booking.
- Does Parqay take a percentage of rent from my own tenants?
- The marketplace percentage applies to bookings Parqay fills through its marketplace. Rent collection for tenants you bring yourself runs through Stripe by ACH or card, and the exact rates that apply are shown in your dashboard. If your situation is unusual, ask us and we will give you a straight answer.
- Is there a long-term contract or cancellation penalty?
- There is no long-term contract. You are not locked in and you can stop listing or wind down at any time. Active bookings and leases still run to their agreed terms, because your guests and tenants are relying on them.
- How do I get paid?
- Hosts are paid through Stripe Connect. You connect a payout account once, and marketplace earnings are transferred to it. For longer stays paid in full up front, the guest pays once and you are paid out in monthly installments.
- Are there per-unit tiers or plans to compare?
- No. Parqay does not price by unit count or split features across plans. Everyone gets the whole platform, and Parqay earns from the marketplace bookings it fills.
- What does Parqay not include?
- Parqay does not offer tenant screening, credit, or background checks (host identity verification through Stripe Identity verifies identity, it is not screening), does not syndicate listings to sites like Zillow or Apartments.com, and does not have an owner portal or owner statements. If any of those are hard requirements today, we would rather you know before you sign up.
- How does moving my data to Parqay work?
- The Parqay team handles migration with you: we import your properties, tenants, and leases, then validate the data together before you rely on it. It is assisted rather than self-serve, which means fewer surprises in your first month.
