Price
POOL360 doesn't publish a price - you get one by booking a demo. Ours is flat by tier and on the pricing page, so you know the bill before you talk to anyone.
POOL360 PoolService is POOLCORP's pool-service software. It doesn't publish a price (you get one through a demo), and it requires a POOL360 distributor account to use. PoolBoss is independent of any distributor, charges a flat rate by pool-count tier, starts free up to 20 pools, and doesn't tie your customer data to a supplier.

What you’d pay as you grow
PoolBoss is flat by pool count and never charges per tech or per seat, so the bill flattens out. Here is the same growth on each tool, from a starter route to a large fleet.
The big difference: POOL360 ties you to one supplier
POOL360 PoolService is built on POOLCORP's POOL360 ordering platform, and you need a POOL360 account to use it. That can make sense if you already buy everything from POOLCORP, but it means your customer and service data lives alongside your supplier's. PoolBoss is independent - no distributor account, no supplier tie, works with whoever you buy from.
What POOL360 PoolService does well
POOL360's advantage is real and hard to match: live POOLCORP pricing, inventory, and one-click supply ordering built right into the service workflow, plus Bluetooth water testing through POOL360 WaterTest. If you buy from POOLCORP and want ordering inside your software, nothing else matches that integration.
Where PoolBoss differs
PoolBoss charges a flat rate by pool count instead of a per-pool rate, so a 100-pool company pays one predictable price rather than a per-pool tab that grows with the route. It also starts free, publishes its full pricing, and keeps your data independent of any distributor.

Optimizing shows you the new order first and tells you what it saves. Keep it or throw it away - nothing reorders behind your back, because you have reasons for your order that the software doesn't know about.

Your tech logs the stop with one bar of signal.
Readings go in, the dose comes back, the photo attaches. If the phone drops signal behind a gate the visit still saves and syncs when it comes back. Nobody re-enters anything at the end of the day.

Quoted from the truck. Paid before he's out of the lot.
Tomas found a cracked filter housing at a commercial site. He quoted it on his phone, the customer approved it, and it became an invoice with a payment link - no re-typing, no waiting for someone to get back to the office.

Moving over takes an afternoon, not a season
You don’t have to pick a cutover day, and you don’t have to cancel anything to try it. Run both for a couple of weeks if you want — the free plan doesn’t expire.
1
Export your customers and pools
Export your customer list out of POOL360. Save it as CSV. You don't have to clean it up, rename a single column, or match it to a template of ours.
Step one of four2
Upload it and check the preview
We match your columns to ours automatically and show you exactly what we found - row by row, including anything we couldn't read and any column we're about to ignore. Nothing is written until you confirm.
Customers, then pools3
Bring the history over too
Past visits and their chemical readings import the same way, so a customer who's been on your route for three years still looks like it. Then build your routes and you're running.
Same afternoonWhat actually comes over?
Customers, pools and their specs, routes with stop order, and past visits with their chemical readings - chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness, CYA, salt and temperature.
Do I have to cancel POOL360 first?
No. Nothing here asks for a card, so you can run both until you're satisfied and cancel on your own schedule.
What if the file is a mess?
Most of them are. The preview flags the rows it can't read and the columns it isn't using, so you fix them before anything is created - not after.
What if I import the same file twice?
Customers, pools and visit history are matched and skipped rather than duplicated, using your old system's record IDs when the export includes them.
Will my customers get emailed?
No. Importing three years of history doesn't send three years of service reports. Historical visits import silently.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The importer is part of the product on every plan, including free.
Grab your POOL360 export and try the import. If it doesn't look right, you've lost twenty minutes.
Start freeCommon questions
How much does POOL360 PoolService cost?
POOL360 doesn't publish a price. POOLCORP quotes it through a demo, and it comes with a 60-day free trial. PoolBoss publishes flat pool-count pricing from $0, so you can see the bill before you talk to anyone.
Do I need a POOL360 account to use POOL360 PoolService?
Yes. POOL360 PoolService requires a POOL360 (POOLCORP) account. PoolBoss is independent and works with any supplier.
Is POOL360 PoolService free?
No. It offers a 60-day free trial, not a permanent free plan. PoolBoss has a free plan for up to 20 pools.
How is POOL360 PoolService different from PoolBoss?
POOL360 builds live POOLCORP supply pricing and one-click ordering into the service workflow. PoolBoss is independent of any distributor: it tracks chemical stock at the shop and on each truck, and works with whoever you buy from.
