AccountMate for SQL

AccountMate 10 for SQL & Express

Specific to small companies requiring stability and speed of an SQL server without the cost of an actual SQL server, AccountMate 10 is adaptable to any size company while still providing exceptional feature and support. Much like the newer AccountMate Enterprise 2018, this version also comes in 2 distinct packages–AccountMate 10 for SQL and AccountMate 10 Express with the same difference between the two- one being self-hosted, the other being a managed host solution.

Both versions have the same features, however Express only allows for a maximum of five (5) concurrent users while AccountMate 10 allows for hundred of concurrent users. So, if you have a small business, Express may be just the right size for you, unless your small business is an accounting service where you will need multiple accounting executives to be logged in to manage multiple clients at the same time.
