Fishbowl Manufacturing Pricing FAQ

01 Is the implementation package required?

Yes. Fishbowl requires an implementation package as part of every purchase; its team learns your business and tailors onboarding. The price of the package is not published on the pricing page.

02 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.

03 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.

04 How does user-based pricing work with volume discounts?

Advanced Manufacturing is priced by number of users and deployment, for teams from 2 to 200+ users, so the quote rises with headcount. Fishbowl does not publish per-user rates or volume discount tiers.

05 What new features are coming in 2026?

Advanced Permissions/Roles are available in Q1 2026, with Advanced AI Capabilities for complex automations and workflows launching in Q4 2026. These features will be included in the Enterprise Plus edition.

06 Are custom reports included with Fishbowl Manufacturing?

No. While Fishbowl provides standard reports, many users report these are inadequate for real-world manufacturing needs. Custom or modified reports require hiring outside developers at costs ranging from $150 to $2,000 per report.

07 Does Fishbowl Manufacturing integrate with QuickBooks?

Yes. Fishbowl Manufacturing integrates with QuickBooks, allowing invoices to be generated directly after sales order closure. This integration is one of the most valued features by users.
