The only pool software that stops charging you for growing.
Everyone else bills per pool or per tech, so every account you win puts your bill up. We stop at $249. Grow the route as far as you can take it.
- Free to 50 pools — most one-truck operators never pay us anything.
- $1 a pool after that. 200 pools is $150 a month.
- Capped at $249. 300 pools, 900 pools — still $249.
- No per-tech seats. No setup fee. No card to start.

At your numbers, Lucci is $351 a month cheaper — $4,212 a year.
Both figures are software only. Nothing here includes payment processing fees.
One column. Nothing to upgrade to.
Per-pool software splits the job across tiers, so the small operator pays for a route list and buys the rest back later. Lucci has one plan with everything switched on. Check it yourself — Skimmer's published plans as of August 2026.

Where we don't know how their product behaves, the cell says “?” rather than a guess. Every tick in the Lucci column is something the app does today.
Lucci records what was measured and what the tech did. It will never tell anyone how much of a chemical to add.
Questions people actually ask
- What counts as a pool?
- Every service location you maintain — one address, one body of water. Two pools at the same house on the same visit count as one.
- What happens when I add pools?
- Nothing, past $249 a month. Below the cap it's $1 a pool after the first 50 free. Above 299 pools the price stops moving — 300 pools, 900 pools, still $249.
- Do you charge per technician?
- No. Techs, office staff and owners are all free. The bill is per pool, not per seat.
- What happens when I go past 50 pools?
- Nothing right away — you get 14 days' grace before billing starts, and we still don't take a card up front. After that it's $1 per pool per month above the first 50. Nothing charges by surprise.
- Can I cancel?
- Any time, and your data is yours — customers, service history and invoices export on request.
- Do you charge to move my data over?
- No. We bring your customers, routes and invoice history across by hand as part of getting you started.
