Skimmer pricing explained
Skimmer's per-pool billing: what it means as your route grows
Skimmer charges per pool per month. At 49 pools or fewer, you pay a flat $49/mo. Once you hit 50, the bill climbs with every new customer you add. Here is the full cost structure — and what flat-rate alternatives look like.
How Skimmer's billing structure works
Getting Started: $1.00/location, $49/mo minimum
Skimmer's Getting Started plan charges $1.00 per serviced location per month, with a $49/mo floor. So if you service 49 or fewer pools in a given month, you pay $49/mo. At 50 pools, you pay $50/mo. At 80 pools, $80/mo. [source: Skimmer pricing page]
Scaling Up: $2.00/location, $98/mo minimum
The Scaling Up plan doubles the per-location rate to $2.00/location, with a $98/mo minimum. At 100 pools/month, you pay $200/mo. At 150 pools, $300/mo. [source: Skimmer pricing page]
No pause option on minimum
Skimmer's FAQ notes there is no pause feature — the minimum floor applies even in slow months. [source: Skimmer FAQ]
You cannot use your existing Stripe account
Skimmer's billing documentation explicitly states that customers cannot connect an existing Stripe account — Skimmer controls the processor setup via Stripe Connect. [source: Skimmer Payments FAQ]
What Ruunly does differently for pool service
Ruunly is not built specifically for pool service — no route optimization, chemical logging, or LSI calculations. But if you primarily need a website, service plan billing, and a client portal, here is what is different:
- —Flat monthly pricing. No per-pool billing that scales with your route.
- —Your own Stripe account — payouts go directly to your bank. Skimmer controls the processor setup; you can't connect an existing Stripe account.
- —Website with plan sign-up included — Skimmer does not offer a website builder.
- —Cancel anytime from account settings. No minimums that lock you in during slow months.
