Pool Service Software (PSS) vs PoolControl Pro

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.

PoolControl Pro brings client records, route planning, work orders, inventory, and invoicing together for pool maintenance companies. Its visual planner assigns technicians, schedules recurring routes, and supports drag-and-drop rescheduling. Technicians can view daily routes, navigate to pools, record readings and completed tasks, and work offline; saved data syncs when connectivity returns. A chemical calculator uses measured pool parameters to suggest products and doses, and applied products can be added to work-order consumption. Invoices can be generated from work orders and maintenance contracts, including with a bulk invoicing assistant. Clients can use a web portal with magic-link access to view pool status, visit history, invoices, and incidents without installing anything. Administrators can assign roles and permissions to restrict access to sensitive data. The help center describes data exports, calendar synchronization, webhooks, and API access, and names Sage and A3 as accounting connections. PoolControl Pro supports Android, iOS, and web. Its Beta access plan costs nothing and includes all modules during beta; commercial plans start at €59/month depending on operation size.
