I guess you didn't try the search. Here are a sampling of the threads that have information in them that deal with either of the two programs listed.

I use Fotobiz and think its great. It takes a short time to get used to, since it wasnt created by a software expert it can be a little clunky in some areas. But once you get the feel for it, no problem.

It also offers a ton of things tailored to the photographer, such as the ability to use Fotoquote and create quotes which can be turned directly into invoices, ability to keep track of equipment, stock photos, clients, reminders when usages are expiring and tips to help you renew those usages, and all kinds of other things. I do recommend it.

i did search sheldon, ohh well.

Thanks Jim, with regards to fotoquite do they update it regularly to meet industry standards? do you find it usefull for motorsport type work, i think its the way to go though. You dont happen to have a coupon code do you? :)

so i purchased fotobiz and photoquote 5, and with one job it has paid for itself, without it i would have undercharged like no tomorrow.
