Why pros pick Poolside

Built by pool guys, for pool guys.

You know the pool. Poolside keeps route, report, message, payout, and customer context in one Pro account.

Steady, local jobs

Marketplace work is scoped by service area and availability. You choose the territory and capacity you want Poolside to use.

Upfront, fair pay

Poolside shows job scope and payout terms before accepted work. Lead fees are not deducted from Poolside marketplace jobs.

Stripe-backed payouts

Payout status, onboarding blockers, payment method setup, and tips are visible from the Pro account once connected.

All the tools, one app

Schedule, route, chemistry logs, photo reports, invoicing, customer chat. No more juggling five apps and a clipboard.

You set your territory

Draw your service area on a map. Pick your pool types (residential, commercial, saltwater). Work only where your truck already goes.

Marketing done for you

Poolside routes customer demand through the marketplace. Accepted jobs carry the homeowner, service, and price context.

Earnings estimate

Plan capacity, then confirm every payout.

Use the weekly capacity calculator as a planning range. Inside Pro, actual payout terms come from accepted jobs, fees, tips, and Stripe Connect status before work is assigned.

  • In-app chat with homeowners — no personal number shared
  • Repair quoting + parts catalog — approve & bill on the spot
  • Payout readiness, blockers, and account status from Stripe Connect
