PoolBoss vs PoolControl Pro

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.

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.
