Fishbowl red flags & complaints
Verified public risk signal level for Fishbowl: none (as of October 2, 2026).
Live product. Essentials $229, Growth $429 and Scale $729 a month billed annually, Advanced Warehouse from $595 and Advanced Manufacturing from $675, the inventory plans do not include manufacturing warning, the coming soon and Available Q1 2026 table rows and the illustrative prices line read on fishbowlinventory.com/pricing on 2 October 2026. The Athena assistant, the margin leaks line and over 6,000 businesses read on fishbowlinventory.com the same day. Signal noted, not adverse: the pricing table shows features as coming soon that the headline describes as built in.
Signals on file
None. We searched data breaches, court filings, BBB billing complaints, and support-rating trend lines — nothing material surfaced as of our last verification.
What customers criticise (separate from risk signals)
The pricing page contradicts itself. The headline says two way QuickBooks sync is built in, while the comparison table lists QBO bi directional sync as coming soon, core AI automations as coming soon, and audit trails as available Q1 2026, a date that has passed. The page also says prices are illustrative and subject to change. EDI sits on the quoted Advanced Warehouse platform, not on the cloud plans. Trusted by over 6,000 businesses and 11M inventory cost saved are vendor claims with no method.
