How the main pool service and pool route software options compare on price and fit, written by the makers of RouteSplash. We say where competitors are the better choice.
Pool service software is priced three ways: per pool, per technician, or flat tiers. The right choice depends on how your company grows. If you add pools faster than techs, per-tech pricing is cheaper; if you add techs, per-pool or flat pricing is.
| Software | How it is priced | Built for | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| RouteSplash | $49/mo (Starter) flat up to 50 pools, then $59 + $30/login + $0.25/pool, then $0.75 per pool (past 150) | Pool companies | Features |
| Skimmer | Per pool (location) | Pool companies | RouteSplash vs Skimmer |
| Pool Brain | $65 per field technician per month | Pool companies | vs Pool Brain |
| PoolDial | $2 per pool | Pool companies | vs PoolDial |
| Pool Founder | $49 for a solo tech, then by technician count | Pool companies | vs Pool Founder |
| PoolBoss | $29/mo up to 100 pools | Pool companies | vs PoolBoss |
| Pay the Pool Man | $50 base plus $15 per technician | Pool companies | vs Pay the Pool Man |
| Jobber | Tiered plans | Any field-service trade | vs Jobber |
| GorillaDesk | Tiered plans | Route trades (started in pest control) | vs GorillaDesk |
If you run several trades, a general tool like Jobber fits better. If price is all that matters and you have up to 100 pools, PoolBoss costs less. If you want an AI phone receptionist included, PoolDial offers one. Each comparison page explains these honestly.
