Here is where Skimmer beats Paythepoolman, based on real user reviews.

Why the best pros choose Skimmer over Paythepoolman

Your pool software should save your work, not lose it

No one has time for chemical entries that vanish, apps that freeze mid-sync, or data that disappears with a single scroll. When your pool service software can’t even handle the basics, every stop takes twice as long, and your team loses trust in the tool.

Skimmer is simple , unblotted, and easy to use.

Reliability you can count on

With Skimmer, what you log is what sticks. Every reading, note, and photo is captured instantly, synced securely, and ready when you need it. No re-dos, no wondering if the app “took” your update, and no wasted hours fixing errors your software created.

Skimmer app adapts and works the way you work.

Software that keeps up with you

You’re not running a pool business in the ‘80s, so why use software that feels like it? Skimmer is built for today’s pool pros and delivers a clean, modern experience your team can trust, every time.
