Thorbis vs Housecall Pro · Pool service
Housecall Pro for pool and spa companies: seats on the plan, or the whole crew.
Housecall Pro publishes its plans and caps the users on each one, so the next hire is a line item. For pool and spa companies, Thorbis is one posted price for the company, unlimited people, and the pool-service day on one board.

The work
The days pool and spa companies run, on either system.
01
The route
Balanced weekly routes with drag-and-drop scheduling. Skips log their reason (locked gate, weather, vacation hold), and billing adjusts by your rules.
02
The water
Readings, photos, and dosing timestamped on the visit record: the proof for the customer, and for the health inspector.
03
The revenue
Equipment age tracked per pool. A pump past year eight becomes a proposal, not a note nobody reads again.
The difference
Housecall Pro beside Thorbis, for pool and spa companies.

The board
Mike should not be a line item.
The pool-service day on one board the office runs and the trucks read.
The old way
What the whiteboard costs pool and spa companies.
Paper logs leak money
A memorized route and a wet clipboard cannot prove a visit or defend an invoice.
“Did you come today?”
Without a visit record the customer can see, every skipped-looking week is a phone call.
The upsell drives past
Aging pumps and heaters at every stop, and no system that turns them into quotes.

CSV or API. What comes over: customers, jobs, invoices, payments. Seat history does not come. Mike is a tech here.
Is this comparison current?
The Housecall Pro side is read from its own pricing page or from what shops report, as of August 2026, and it says which. If Housecall Pro changes its model, this page is wrong until it is updated, and we would rather you check than trust a stale row.
