03 Can I use Fishbowl without QuickBooks?
While Fishbowl is best known for its QuickBooks integration, it can operate independently with its own accounting features or integrate with other accounting systems. However, many users choose Fishbowl specifically for the QuickBooks integration.
04 What are the cloud hosting costs?
If you choose cloud deployment instead of on-premise, Fishbowl charges additional hosting fees. The exact cost depends on your data volume, number of users, and required server resources. On-premise deployment avoids these recurring hosting charges.
