5.0 on Capterra. “Exceeded my expectations in every way.” — David C., owner, verified review

Pool Founder dashboard: today's schedule with six technicians on route, outstanding balance, and overdue

The actual app, demo data — our customers’ addresses don’t belong on the internet.

How the bill usually grows.

Per-tech. Per-pool. Setup. Designed to scale their revenue, not yours.

What 5 techs pay in a year

PoolBrain
$65/tech + $50/mo office
$4,500
Skimmer
$2/pool, $98/mo minimum
$7,200+
Pool Founder
One flat price, every feature
$2,148

Published list prices, July 2026. Skimmer’s yearly figure assumes 300–500 pools on its full-featured plan — it grows with every pool you add.

They keep raising prices. Yours will never go up.

Rate hikes on locked-in customers are routine in this business. Receipts on the left, our answer on the right.

What they did

  • Skimmer moved route optimization and the LSI calculator to a $2-per-pool tier in 2024. Pre-2024 customers keep a grandfathered rate. New customers don't.
  • Pool Brain went from $55 to $65 per tech. Office access jumped from $10 to $50 a month.

The price lock

The price you sign up at is your price. We will never raise it on you. Not next year. Not when we ship new features. Not ever. Future price changes only apply to new customers.

Lock in that price

We’re new. These are real.

Live since January, and we won’t pretend otherwise. No “trusted by 10,000 pros” banner — just what has actually happened on real routes, counted from our database.

5,400+
Completed visits

Logged by techs on the route. Not imports.

38,000+
Tasks checked off

Skimmed, brushed, vacuumed, emptied. One tap each.

21,000+
Chemistry readings

pH, chlorine, alkalinity — taken poolside, kept forever.

$117,000+
Invoices collected

Card, ACH, and the occasional paper check.

Counted from production on August 14, 2026. Demo and test accounts excluded. Updated by hand, not a live counter.

Missing something? We’ve shipped it in a week.

With the big guys, a request goes on a roadmap and dies there. Pool Founder is two people. You talk to the person who builds it.

Wait-to-swim notices

A new customer asked how to warn homeowners after a chemical treatment. We built it and replied the same day: it’s live.

Skip & Do Tomorrow

Rain hits mid-route? The tech pushes the stop to tomorrow right from the truck. Shipped August 2026.

Voice completion

Techs talk through a stop instead of typing with wet hands. Shipped July 2026, on for everyone.

Corey Adams, co-founder of Pool Founder, cleaning a pool

Hey, I’m Corey. I’ve been on a pool route for 15 years. The apps I tried felt like they were built by people who’d never skimmed a pool, so I built this one. Every feature exists because I needed it that day. When you call, a founder picks up.

The rest of the story

Every feature. Every plan.

No add-on modules. You get the box on day one. Click around — these are the actual screens.

Switching takes an afternoon.

Signing up takes two screens. Then a four-step setup — team, jobs, your book, routes — walks you the rest of the way. No sales call required, but a founder will sit on the import with you if you want.

Answer four questions

Who’s on the trucks, how you charge, when invoices go out, what a visit includes. Corey’s 10-task checklist is one tap. That’s the whole interview.

Paste in your book

Upload the CSV from Skimmer or Jobber — or a photo of your route sheet. The importer works like Excel: click a cell to fix a rate, drag the fill handle to copy a day down. If you can edit a spreadsheet, you can switch.

Routes build themselves

Auto-Assign clusters every stop by location onto your techs’ days, and you preview the week on a map before anything saves. Drag what you don’t like.

Techs run it

They download the app and see their stops. Gate codes, photos, GPS from the first visit.

Questions we get from shops that are switching.

Your pool software shouldn’t cost more than your truck payment.

The shops that switch keep more of what they earn. And their price never goes up.
