Frequently Asked Questions

Does the platform support barrier/boom gate integration?
Yes. Automated barrier control is triggered by LPR plate match or QR scan payment confirmation.
Can customers pay without downloading an app?
Yes. QR code payments are scan-and-pay in any mobile browser — no app download required.
How does auto-pay work at entry and exit?
Registered plates enter automatically. For pay-on-exit lots, the exit camera calculates the fee, charges the stored payment method, and opens the barrier — fully frictionless.
Can I use this for my own lots and also resell to other operators?
Yes. Many partners use PLACA.AI for their own portfolio and also resell to nearby operators who want to automate without managing their own technology vendor.
Do cameras across different client accounts count toward my volume tier?
Yes. Your total active cameras across all clients on your platform count toward your volume tier, applied automatically at billing.
Can I charge more than the suggested retail?
Yes — suggested prices are floors based on market rates. Many partners charge $175–$250/camera. Managed LPR services typically run $75–$500/camera/month.
Do my clients ever see PLACA.AI?
No. The dashboard, mobile app, and all client-facing workflows are fully branded under your company name.
Is there a long-term contract?
Month-to-month is available. Annual commitments receive a discount on the monthly base fee.
Do volume discounts require a contract or minimum commitment?
No. Discounts apply automatically based on your total active count at billing time.
