LapsheetA Housecall Pro alternative built for the pool route
Housecall Pro is all-in-one home-service software for many trades: booking, dispatch, estimates, invoices, payments and reviews. Lapsheet is only the pool route: today's stops in order, notes and a checklist per stop, one tap to Maps. For a solo pool tech who bills another way, that's a free download instead of a monthly suite.
Housecall Pro's Basic plan is $59 a month billed annually or $79 month to month, for one user (checked November 2026 on its pricing page). It's built for home services in general, from plumbing to cleaning, not around a weekly pool route.
If you quote, invoice and take payments in it, it earns its price. If what you need on the road is the day's pools in order, Lapsheet does that for free, or $7.99 a month for Pro. It doesn't do estimates, invoicing, payments or chemical logs.
