PoolDial bundles an AI receptionist and a website builder. RouteSplash does routes and chemistry. Both models are defensible — the deciding factor is usually whether you need the extras.
Both models scale with pool count — the difference is the rate per pool, not the shape of the curve.
| Route size | RouteSplash | PoolDial | Annual difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 pools | $49/mo (Starter) | ~$50/mo | $132/yr |
| 50 pools | $49/mo (Starter) | ~$100/mo | $732/yr |
| 100 pools | $125/mo | ~$200/mo | $900/yr |
| 200 pools | $250/mo | ~$400/mo | $1,800/yr |
| 400 pools (Enterprise) | $344/mo | ~$1,000/mo | $7,872/yr |
PoolDial at $2 per pool with a $40/month minimum. Competitor pricing checked October 30, 2026, from publicly posted rates. Prices change — verify directly before deciding.
PoolDial bundles things RouteSplash does not have. That matters more than the price gap for some companies.
| What you get | RouteSplash | PoolDial |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | $49 flat (Starter) to 50 pools, then $59 + $30/login + $0.25/pool, then $0.75/pool (past 150) | Per pool serviced, $40/mo minimum |
| Water chemistry + LSI dosing | Built in, every plan | Built in |
| Route optimization | Every plan | Built in |
| Offline field capture | Android app: built in, queues and syncs. iPhone: web app, needs connection | Yes, offline mode |
| Native iPhone app | Web app — add to home screen | Yes |
| AI receptionist | No | Included |
| Website builder | No | Included |
| Free trial length | 30 days, no credit card | 14 days |
If any of these are on your list, RouteSplash does not replace PoolDial.
PoolDial includes an AI receptionist. RouteSplash has no phone answering capability at all. If missed calls are costing you bookings, that is worth more than the price difference.
PoolDial bundles a website builder. RouteSplash is route software — it does not build or host your company site. Two products from one vendor is simpler.
PoolDial ships a native iPhone app with offline mode. RouteSplash's iPhone experience is a home-screen web app that needs a connection. If your techs carry iPhones, that gap is real.
$0.75 per pool (past 150, after $59 + $30/login + $0.25/pool) versus $2 per pool is a 37.5% rate difference that holds at every route size. At 200 pools that is $1,800 a year, every year, for the same core route and chemistry work.
PoolDial's $40 minimum means small routes pay close to RouteSplash's flat $49 (Starter) anyway — but RouteSplash holds that price all the way to 50 pools while PoolDial keeps climbing at $2 each.
30 days free with no credit card, versus 14 days. Long enough to run a real billing cycle side by side before committing.
Every chemical entry is immutable and exportable in an inspection-ready format. Corrections create new entries rather than editing history.
See which pools and routes actually make money — revenue from invoices, chemicals at supplier cost, tech time, drive time and mileage. PoolDial does not list a per-pool profit report as its headline.
Per-truck logs with fuel and mileage, gear check-in/out with lost/broken flags, and multi-person job teams for pool builds and repairs. RouteSplash models the whole operation, not just the route.
These are included at $59 + $30/login + $0.25/pool, then $0.75/pool past 150, against PoolDial's $2.

You keep your customer list. Here is the sequence.
Get your customer list out of PoolDial as a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) before your paid period ends. Most pool software can export customers; if you can't find it, ask PoolDial's support for an export.
The importer recognizes common column names, lets you match the rest, and previews every row before anything saves.
Put customers on routes and days, assign techs, and set monthly prices. Connect your Stripe or Square account for online payments and AutoPay.
Keep PoolDial for one billing cycle while your crew runs RouteSplash. The 30-day trial is free, so the overlap costs nothing. More on switching.
About $400/month at $2 per pool. RouteSplash at 200 pools with 2 logins is $194/month. That is $1,800 a year in difference.
No. PoolDial includes one; RouteSplash does not. If automated call answering is a requirement, PoolDial covers it and RouteSplash does not.
No. PoolDial bundles one. RouteSplash is route and chemistry software, not web hosting or site building.
RouteSplash gives 30 days with no credit card. PoolDial gives 14 days. A full month lets you test a migration against a real billing cycle.
Export customers as CSV and use RouteSplash's importer, which auto-maps columns and previews before saving. See the switching guide.
