Skimlog vs Jobber

Jobber is great general field service software — for landscapers, cleaners, and contractors. But it wasn't built for pools. Skimlog was. That means LSI calculations, chemical tracking, and pool-specific workflows that Jobber simply doesn't have.

Pool-Specific Features Jobber Doesn't Have

These aren't nice-to-haves. They're essential for professional pool service.

LSI Calculator

Instantly calculate Langelier Saturation Index to ensure balanced pool water. Jobber has no idea what LSI even is.

Chemical Tracking

Log chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and more with every service. Track trends over time. Jobber doesn't track pool chemicals.

Dosing Recommendations

Get automatic chemical dosing suggestions based on your readings. Jobber can't help with pool chemistry.

What Jobber Switchers Say

"Tried Jobber for a year. It's fine for landscapers, but they don't understand pool service. Skimlog gets it."

"The chemical tracking alone is worth the switch. My customers love seeing their water quality history."

The Bottom Line

Jobber is excellent software — for general field service businesses. But if you're a pool professional, you need software that speaks your language. Skimlog understands chlorine levels, LSI calculations, and why your customer's water turned green. Jobber doesn't.

Jobber: "Great for landscapers, cleaners, HVAC, plumbers..."

Skimlog: Built exclusively for pool service professionals.
