What a pool service company needs, and where it sits in ServiceTitan

Weekly routes and monthly billing, with the odd green-pool emergency. Monthly invoices sent by hand to sixty customers: that is the problem software has to fix. ServiceTitan lists pool service among its industries; here is where each thing pool service companies rely on sits in its plans.

The ServiceTitan plan a 1 to 3 person pool service company ends up on

ServiceTitan does not publish a price for any package. It sells Starter, Essentials and The Works per technician, and every package lists the features pool service companies usually ask about first: recurring service plans and stops sorted by the drive.

Customer page or portal is not on any ServiceTitan plan card. Ask ServiceTitan how pool service companies handle it today.

The extras pool service companies often want (options on one estimate, day-before reminders and paid on the spot) do not move you off Starter, though options on one estimate, day-before reminders and paid on the spot are not on its plan cards. For comparison, the same list on Koira is Front Office ($499 a month flat, usage included), with no per-person fee.

Where ServiceTitan is a good fit for pool service companies

  • Customizable memberships are on every package, which is how many pool service companies run plans at scale.
  • Call booking and a dispatch board are on every package, built for an office that takes calls and sends technicians.
  • A pricebook is on every package, with Pricebook Pro sold as an add-on.
  • It serves residential and commercial work and says more than 100,000 contractors use it.

A pool service company with a dispatcher and office staff is the shape of business it is built for.

Where Koira does it differently for pool service companies

Customer page or portal. On ServiceTitan: not on its plan table. Each stop is marked done and shows on the customer's own page, on every plan.

Options on one estimate. On ServiceTitan: Not listed by package. Snap a photo and send three repair options from your price list before you leave.

Day-before reminders. On ServiceTitan: not on its plan table. Koira sends the day-before reminder and an on-my-way text.

What Koira does not doKoira does not do payroll, inventory or a dispatch board for a call center.

Worked example: a tight weekly route

A tight weekly route: 25 minutes a stop and 12 minutes between stops, on the free maintenance plan pricing calculator, comes to $1,700 a year ($141.67 a month, 52 visits).

StepThe math
Labor per visit(0.4 on site + 0.2 driving) × $24.00 = $14.40
Cost per visit$14.40 + $7.00 parts = $21.40
Repair discount0% off $0 of repairs = $0.00
Cost per member a year52 × $21.40 + $0.00 = $1,112.80
Price$1,112.80 ÷ (1 − 15% overhead − 20% profit) = $1,712.00, quoted as $1,700
Members one tech can serve1,500 hrs ÷ 31.2 hrs per member = 48

ServiceTitan does not publish a price, so we cannot count the members it would take to cover it. Koira Front Office ($5,988 a year) takes about 4.

FAQ

Is ServiceTitan good for pool service companies?

It can be. ServiceTitan lists pool service among its industries. For a one to three person pool service company, the features that decide the plan (recurring service plans, stops sorted by the drive and customer page or portal) are on every ServiceTitan package where it lists them, priced per technician on request, and customer page or portal is not on its plan cards.

How much does ServiceTitan cost for a pool service company?

ServiceTitan does not publish prices. Its three packages are priced per technician after a demo.

What is a good ServiceTitan alternative for a small pool service company?

Koira is built for one to three person shops. The same must-haves are on Front Office ($499 a month flat, usage included), with no per-person fee and no contract. If you run a bigger office with payroll or inventory needs, ServiceTitan may suit you better.

Does ServiceTitan include options on one estimate for pool service companies?

On ServiceTitan: Not listed by package, as its pricing page showed on October 8, 2026. Pumps, filters and heaters are repair sales made standing at the equipment pad. On Koira: Office, up to three.

Each stop is marked done and shows on the customer's own Koira page.
