PoolSpartan vs ProBase

ProBase is built for lawn care and landscaping as well as pool, and earns from a job marketplace. PoolSpartan is built only for pool service and earns one flat amount on each paid invoice.

The short version

ProBase bills the business nothing for its software. It earns a percentage of the jobs pros take from its marketplace, and it is built for lawn care and landscaping as well as pool service. ProBase describes its software as built for teams of one to five people. Its home page lists card payments at what it calls standard processing rates.

PoolSpartan is free for your business. Technicians, office users, customers and service locations are unlimited. Every feature is on every account. It earns a flat $4.95 on each invoice paid through the app, and your customer pays it.

PoolSpartan is built only for pool service. ACH, autopay and card on file come with every account, payouts go straight to your bank, and the way we earn is one flat line on each paid invoice.
