The honest take on Pool 360
Pool 360 is unique in the pool service software space because it's built around supply chain integration. If you're an SCP/Pool Corp customer and want to order chemicals directly from your service app, Pool 360 is the only platform that does this natively.
The trade-off is that Pool 360 tries to do two things — service management and supply ordering — and the service side suffers. Route optimization is basic, the mobile app feels like an afterthought, and the interface hasn't had a major refresh in years. Younger pool pros who grew up on modern apps find it frustrating.
If supply chain integration is your top priority, Pool 360 makes sense. If you want a fast, mobile-first tool for route optimization, water chemistry, and customer reports, PoolOps is built for that, with one published flat price.

Common questions about switching from Pool 360
Is PoolOps really cheaper than Pool 360?
PoolOps Solo is $29.99/month flat with unlimited customers. Pool 360 doesn't publish its prices (We could not find published pricing; ask POOLCORP for a quote). Check their current pricing for your own numbers.
What features does Pool 360 have that PoolOps doesn't?
Pool 360 is built for pool companies already using scp/pool corp suppliers who want integrated chemical ordering. It includes enterprise features like advanced multi-level permissions, complex reporting dashboards, and deep vendor integrations. If you need those, Pool 360 is the right choice. If you're a solo operator or small team (up to 10 techs) who needs route optimization, water chemistry, GPS verification, and customer reports — PoolOps covers that at a fraction of the cost.
Can I switch from Pool 360 to PoolOps?
Yes. You can import your customer list from a CSV or add customers by hand. PoolOps flags duplicates before anything saves. Service history from other software does not import yet. Use the 14-day trial to run a real route before you commit.
Does PoolOps work offline like Pool 360?
Yes — offline mode was a requirement from day one. Log services, take photos, run LSI calculations, all without cell signal. Everything syncs when you get connection. We built this for pool pros working in backyards, not office buildings.
Is Pool 360 better for teams?
It depends on what you need. Pool 360 has integrations and business tracking PoolOps does not have yet. PoolOps offers a Team plan ($59.99/mo + $9.99/seat) with GPS checks, required photos, custom checklists and issue flagging, and the price does not change with your pool count.
What if I outgrow PoolOps?
PoolOps is built for solo operators and small teams, and your records can be exported as a CSV anytime. If you grow into needing multi-office management or accounting and supply-house integrations, you might need Pool 360.
