Both are built for pool service. Pool Service Log emphasizes a fast tech workflow and automatic proof of service: GPS timestamps, before and after photos, chemical logs, and a report texted to the homeowner on every visit, at one flat price.

Can I import my data?▼

Yes. Customer lists import from CSV. If you need help mapping an export, email support and we will help clean it up.

Is there a contract?▼

No. Monthly plans cancel anytime, and you can export your data whenever you want.
