Billing
1% Pooli platform fee
That 1% is the Stripe Connect platform fee on payments processed through Pooli. Collect offline, or keep the payment platform you already run. The route, the chemistry, and the reports still work either way.
Pooli billing is worth using because the tools are built for a route and the platform fee stays at 1%. There is no requirement to switch processors to run Pro.
Compared with other route software
Public list prices as of September 21, 2026. Pooli figures use the monthly owner plan, which includes the owner as the first technician, plus $8 a month for each additional technician. This table is software only. Payment processing is separate and is not included.
| Example | Pooli Pro | Pool Brain | Skimmer |
|---|---|---|---|
| How the bill is built | Owner plan includes the first technician ($13 / month, $33 / quarter, or $109 / year). Each additional technician is $8 / month. | $50 / month for unlimited office users, plus $65 per active field technician | Per serviced location, with unlimited technicians. Getting Started is $1 / location / month (minimum $49, 49 locations included). Scaling Up is $2 / location / month (minimum $98, 49 locations included). |
| 5 field technicians | $45 / month on the monthly plan ($13 includes the owner, plus 4 additional technicians at $8) | $375 / month ($50 + 5 × $65) | Skimmer does not charge per seat. At 100 serviced locations: $100 / month on Getting Started, or $200 / month on Scaling Up. |
| 10 field technicians | $85 / month on the monthly plan ($13 includes the owner, plus 9 additional technicians at $8) | $700 / month ($50 + 10 × $65) | At 200 serviced locations: $200 / month on Getting Started, or $400 / month on Scaling Up. |
Sources, checked September 21, 2026: Pool Brain public pricing ($65 per tech on the page, and a $50 office-access line in the public calculator) and Skimmer public pricing. Skimmer bills locations you service that month. A book of 49 locations or fewer stays at the $49 or $98 minimum, so a very small route can land near a Pooli seat bill. The location fee is what moves Skimmer's price as the book grows. Pool Brain's published field seat is $65.

The owner is included. The base plan is $13 a month, $33 a quarter, or $109 a year, and that seat is the first technician. Additional technicians are $8 a month each. A single-technician shop on the yearly plan pays $109 a year, about $8 a month, and nothing more for seats.
No. Collect offline or keep your current payment platform. When a payment does run through Pooli, the Pooli platform fee is a flat 1% (Stripe Connect). High-volume routes, averaging $5,000 a month or more on Pooli billing, can ask Kevin about complimentary software use.
No. Homeowners are not charged for Pooli Pro. They don't need a Pooli account or to know the app exists. Your company pays for Pro; you run the route and chemistry for them. The service report guide shows what they open.
