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.
Notion
Pros
- Relational databases and nested pages let teams build their own trackers, wikis and project systems without a fixed workflow.
- Docs, knowledge base, calendar, forms and published sites are bundled in one workspace, which can replace several separate tools.
- Business includes AI agents, meeting notes and cross-app Enterprise Search without a separate per-seat AI add-on.
- Enterprise security covers SCIM, audit logs, SIEM and DLP connections, and zero data retention with AI providers.
- Strong review ratings, around 4.6 on G2 and 4.7 on Capterra.
Cons
- Reviewers repeatedly report slow loading and lag in large databases and workspaces.
- Offline support is weak and the mobile app does less than the desktop app.
- Plus includes only an AI trial, so teams that want working AI must pay for Business.
- Since late 2026, AI use beyond the monthly credit allowances pauses unless an admin buys extra credits, and some legacy discounted customers have reported large increases at renewal.
- Teams must design their own structure before it works well for project management, and new users describe the setup as unintuitive.
