Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ
Everything drivers ask before joining Spotlink.

1. What is Spotlink?

Spotlink is a community-driven parking intelligence app that helps drivers find open curb spaces faster, avoid tickets, and earn SpotCoins ($0.10 USD per SpotCoin ) by sharing departure data. It combines live driver reports with AI engines, such as CurbAI and Ticket Guard, to display street parking sign rules and send notifications and alerts.

2. How does Spotlink work?

Spotlink connects “Spotters” (drivers leaving a spot) with “Seekers” (drivers searching for one).

• Spotters share their departure time and location.

• Seekers see live, real-time departures near their destination.

• Everyone benefits — less circling, less stress, fewer tickets.

3. What is CurbAI™?

CurbAI™ is Spotlink’s AI that reads and interprets street-cleaning and parking signs instantly. It helps drivers know where they can and can’t park before arriving — no guessing, no fines.

4. What is Ticket Guard™?

Ticket Guard™ sends notification alerts when street rules, such as cleaning, are coming up, helping you avoid alternate-side tickets and last-minute tows.

5. What are SpotCoins, and how do I earn them?

SpotCoins are in-app coins you earn for:

• Sharing departure data as a Spotter (Hosting)

• Inviting friends

• Completing daily driving actions

They can be used toward in-app credits or cash-out rewards (depending on your plan).

Each SpotCoin is worth $0.10 USD. That means 100 SpotCoins = $10 USD.

6. Is Spotlink free to use?

Yes! Spotlink offers a free Basic plan with core features. For enhanced CurbAI overlays, Ticket Guard alerts, and SpotCoin boosts, you can upgrade to Spotlink Plus or Pro.

7. Where is Spotlink available?

Spotlink is currently focused on New York City (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Manhattan edge zones), with national rollout coming soon. You can still download and join early anywhere in the U.S..

8. How accurate is Spotlink’s parking data?

Spotlink combines driver-verified departures, AI interpretation, and geo-timestamp validation to ensure accuracy. The more drivers use it, the smarter it becomes.

9. How does Spotlink help the environment?

Every shared departure helps reduce circling traffic, idling emissions, and fuel waste. Our mission is to make curb use more efficient and eco-friendly for all city drivers.
