Pros & Cons
Avaza
Pros
- Covers the full billable-work cycle, from quote to project, timesheet, expense and invoice, so small agencies can avoid separate billing tools.
- Flat plan pricing starting at $11.95 a month and a free forever tier make it cheap for small teams, with annual billing equal to 10 months.
- Reviewers on G2 and Capterra consistently praise the interface and say the invoicing templates and tracking work well.
- Unlimited project collaborators and a client portal at no extra cost on every plan make it easy to bring clients into tasks.
Cons
- Each plan includes only a few users, and extra users cost $7 each per month, so costs climb for teams larger than about 10.
- Limited customization of templates and reports is a recurring complaint among G2 reviewers.
- According to a third-party review, subtasks cannot be assigned to other people or given their own deadlines, and automation is weaker than in ClickUp or monday.com.
- Time tracking has no idle detection, offline logging or overtime and break tracking, according to a third-party review.
GGoogle Sheets
Pros
- Real-time co-editing, comments and version history make it easy for a team to share one tracker.
- Prebuilt project management and event-planning templates mean teams do not have to build a tracker from scratch.
- There is no extra cost for organisations that already pay for Google Workspace seats.
- Connected Sheets can analyse BigQuery or Looker data with billions of rows directly in a spreadsheet.
- On higher Workspace tiers, Gemini can create trackers and write formulas from plain-language prompts.
Cons
- It has no native Gantt charts, task dependencies or time tracking for real project scheduling.
- Missed deadlines do not trigger automatic alerts, so team members have to be notified by hand.
- Large or complex shared sheets slow down and are easy to break when several people edit at once.
- Timeline view is limited to certain paid Workspace editions.
- Dashboards and reporting have to be built by hand or added with add-ons.
