Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. 

Anyone here use FotoBiz or FotoQuote?  If so do you recommend it?  Thanks!

I thought they were out of business. I use Blinkbid which has a built in estimator.

I use FotoQuote for pricing stock photography and am very happy with it.  I tried BlinkBid but at that time it didn't offer stock photo pricing.  I just checked their website and it doesn't look like they're offering it now, either.  I guess it depends on how you intend to use the software.  If you need to price stock photography, FotoQuote is the way to go.  If you need to bid assignments and/or studio work, BlinkBid is probably a better option.

Good luck.

I use both. (BB & FQ). I find both to be a bit high for the work I'm doing (local and regional clients), but they're both excellent pieces of software.

Are there some options of preset models/business types for QuickBooks you can use?
