[Its site](https://www.poolbrain.com/) says it watches chemicals, flow, and cost so issues surface before the customer calls. ## Pricing > **Verified fact:** [Pool Brain pricing](https://www.poolbrain.com/pricing/) (2026-09-14) shows **$65 per active field technician**. That is the only HTML-locked dollar amount. Unlimited office users are stated. Office-user and base totals are unpublished in the HTML. The public slider starts at 5, 10, 15 techs. There is no 1-tech preset and no published 1-tech monthly total. > **Editorial judgment:** Do not treat $65 as a solo checkout total, and do not treat $65 × 5 as the monthly plan. Ask for a written quote at your tech count.

Scorecards, drag-and-drop schedules, map progress, and billing in advance or arrears (flat or per visit) are on the marketing site. [Software Finder](https://softwarefinder.com/field-service/pool-brain) lists offline iOS and Android apps. None of that is confirmed here in the field. ## Integrations QuickBooks Online, Orenda, and LaMotte SpinTouch appear on the vendor site.
