Grow your route, not your bill.
Bill every customer in minutes, get paid from their couch, optimize routes in one click, track techs, send bids, run payroll. Priced so your next tech costs $15 a month, not $65.
Paythepoolman and Pool Brain both start at a $50/mo base. The per-tech price is where the bills split. Skimmer skips the tech fee and charges for every pool instead.
"If they charged five times as much I would still be in. But they're much better priced and more responsive than their competitor."
