Pool Service Software (PSS) vs PoolBoss

Pool Service Software (PSS) gives pool service businesses tools for routing, jobs and quotes, invoices and payments, visit tasks, reports, equipment records, and GPS features. Routes can be optimized, with estimated work hours, mileage, gas costs, and dosage costs shown by stop and day. Users can track quote approvals, schedule single- or multi-day jobs, and attach photos or videos to job invoices. PSS records water readings and dosages and calculates LSI at service stops, with optional borate consideration. Invoicing options include online payments, client AutoPay, monthly automatic invoices, per-visit billing, and bulk actions. Integrations include Orenda Technologies, LaMotte digital meters, QuickBooks Online, and Stripe. LaMotte SpinTouch and ColorQ 2x readings can be sent by Bluetooth for LSI calculation; PSS can link its invoices to QuickBooks Online invoices. The free plan is free for up to 10 properties, with all features included. Dive In costs $49.99 a month for 11 to 50 properties. Pricing ranges assume one property per client, and Stripe fees are 2.9% plus 30 cents of the invoice amount paid.

PoolBoss is pool-service management software for independent operators, from solo businesses to multi-truck companies. It organizes recurring routes and schedules, assigns technicians, and maps daily work. Technicians can record pool readings, keep a history for each pool, and see readings flagged when they fall outside target ranges. Its iPhone and Android app works offline and syncs visits after the phone reconnects. PoolBoss can prepare monthly invoices from completed visits, email payment links, and charge autopay customers when invoices come due. Customers can enter a company-branded portal through a magic link without a password or app download. Listed integrations include Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Apple Maps, Google Maps, email reports, API, and webhooks. The REST API and webhooks are included on every plan; API keys can be read-only or read-write. Free covers up to 20 pools and one admin. Startup is $29/mo, Pro is $79/mo, and Fleet is $249/mo, each with a 30-day trial. PoolBoss says it is pre-launch and directs prospective users to its waitlist.
