Skimmer alternative

A Skimmer alternative that doesn't charge you for growing.

Lucci is pool service software priced per pool and capped at $249 a month. Same routes, same service logging, same QuickBooks sync — plus a watchdog that tells you every morning what quietly went wrong yesterday.

Questions before you move

Is Lucci a drop-in replacement for Skimmer?
For routes, service logging, invoicing and customer records, yes. Lucci does not have a marketing suite or a chemical inventory module, and it will never tell a technician how much of a chemical to add.
How much does Lucci cost compared to Skimmer?
Lucci is $1 per pool per month — first 50 free, capped at $249. Skimmer also bills per pool but with no cap, so its price climbs with every customer you win. The bigger your route, the wider the gap.
Can I move my Skimmer data over?
Yes. Customers, addresses, contacts, route days, stop order, service history and invoice history come across. A person does the move and checks it against your export before you go live.
Can I run Skimmer and Lucci at the same time?
Yes. Parallel Run records everything in Lucci while sending nothing to your customers, so you can compare both systems on the same routes before committing.
