Overview
PoolBoss is pool service software built for solo pool operators. You log every visit and chemical reading from your phone while you're at the pool, then turn those visits into invoices and online payments without a second pass at a desk. The Free plan covers up to 20 pools at no cost.
SOLO OPERATORS
Why PoolBoss fits
Built for one person doing all of it
When you run a route solo, you're the tech, the dispatcher, and the office. PoolBoss keeps all three in one place so nothing lives on a clipboard or in your head.
Your stops for the day sit in the mobile app, every customer and pool is saved in your customer records, and the work you do in the field is the same work you bill from. One account, start to finish.

Needs your attention
Log the visit on-site, not at midnight
You log chemical readings and notes during the stop, while you're standing at the pool. By the time you're back in the truck, the visit is recorded and the service report is ready to go out.
That's the end of the evening spent catching up on paperwork you already did once in your head.

Get paid without a desk night
Visits become invoices. You bill from the work you logged and send a payment link, so customers can pay online instead of mailing a check or waiting for you to circle back.

Why PoolBoss
Why pool pros choose PoolBoss
Built for pools, not bolted on
Water chemistry is the job, so it's the core of the product, not a notes field. Generic field-service tools don't track it.
Flat rate by pool count
You pay by how many pools you manage. No per-seat fees, no per-pool meter, and no surprise line on the bill as you grow.
Every feature on every plan
Nothing is locked to a higher tier. The Free plan has the same features as Fleet. Plans differ only by pool count.
Works in the field
The tech app runs on any phone and keeps working with no signal, so a visit completes at the pool and syncs when you're back on.
“Pool Boss just works. Wish I'd switched sooner.”

FAQ
Common questions
Is PoolBoss free for a solo operator?
Yes. The Free plan covers up to 20 pools at no cost and includes every feature - routes, chemical logging, service reports, billing, and the mobile app. You only start paying once you pass 20 pools.
Do I need office staff to run it?
No. PoolBoss is built for owner-operators who run the routes themselves. You log visits from your phone in the field and send invoices from the same account, so there's no back office to staff.
What happens when I grow past 20 pools?
You move to the Startup plan at $29 a month for up to 100 pools. Nothing changes about how you work, and no features turn on or off. The only difference between plans is the pool ceiling.
