Is Skimmer worth the price?

80/10

Skimmer's pricing is fair, especially for the 'Scaling Up' tier at $98/month, which offers significant value with unlimited texts and advanced features.

The 'Getting Started' tier at $49/month is a solid entry point, but the per-message cost for texts could add up quickly. This pricing model is best for growing pool service businesses looking for comprehensive management tools.
