Considered Both Products	Avaza Verified User Anonymous Chose Avaza Avaza takes the easy of Asana and adds the invoicing and bookkeeping capabilities you need all in one place. Incentivized Helpful? TB Tristan Boyd Owner Chose Avaza Avaza is the only solution that ties all of our needs together in one platform at a reasonable price. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Avaza Avaza's time tracking capabilities are much more detailed than Upwork's. Upwork focuses on simplicity, using a simple on/off button and a spot for taking notes about each project, but Avaza gives you more to work with, allowing you to add detailed notes and specify tasks. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Avaza I've used Trello before, but Avaza has way more features and is more applicable for cross-team collaboration. We selected Avaza for it's ability to not only project manage, but also for invoicing, expenses and it's ability to track time. We've gotten more accurate with estimate … Incentivized Helpful? VD Veronica M Duckett Managing Partner Chose Avaza This is miles ahead of ActiveCollab. It has more features, the interface is easier to use and the invoicing is easier to use. Across the board better. We migrated from ActiveCollab, but that was just essentially a Fancier Wunderlist. If you just need one project and a few tasks … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Avaza I have not used any other products like Avaza. Incentivized Helpful?	Zeplin Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Zeplin is used for us purely as a handoff tool. It keeps it clean and clear for devs and product managers what is completed. It has some good labels and other organizing features. The different levels of access are also super helpful to give the correct people the view they … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin As our project is large and there are many modules and they should be consistent. So, Zeplin's style guide can be shared globally across different projects and we can easily ensure consistency across all modules. Zeplin automatically exports assets in multiple file formats like … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Actually, we didn't select Zeplin. After a long time of internal discussions, the majority of the team decided that we want to move to Figma. We still use Zeplin as a legacy, but we don't use it for new features. In my opinion, it's less flexible than Figma, which allows … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin We went without a tool like Zeplin for a long time, but as we grew we needed to get a better handle on the design process and handoff to engineering. We went straight to Zeplin off of numerous recommendations and didn't look back. We have had a great experience with Zeplin. Incentivized Helpful? Raphael Sanguinete Creative Director Chose Zeplin Zeplin is more focused on the handoff than in the creation itself. The other alternatives can do both, but Zeplin is an awesome tool for the handoff part. It depends in how big is your team and how the workflow is organized to understand whats the best tool for your team. Incentivized Helpful? Christopher Fritz Head of Global IT Chose Zeplin It was a business need from different departments. From an IT point of view, we have been a part of purchasing and setting up. However, the decision to go with Zeplin was not ours. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin I believe Invision is the only one that is supporting such inspection tools at this moment. Incentivized Helpful? Ray Flores Software Engineer Chose Zeplin Zeplin has and easier on the eyes UI, not a cumbersome constructors of projects and easier collaboration. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Out of all of the products that I have used to support design-to-development handoffs, Zeplin is my favorite. It’s pretty lightweight and easy to use (once you get the hang of it). Zeplin also has a smooth interface and is, generally, clearer to use than other tools, such as … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin These other tools are really helpful products for creating and sharing wireframes / prototypes. However, Zeplin is the best tool for the actual hand off between the design and development teams once the design is actually ready to share. Zeplin fills this gap and improves the … Incentivized Helpful? Prashant Mahajan Senior Product Manager Chose Zeplin Zeplin is simpler. Zeplin lacks prototyping on par with Invision. Zeplin doesn't give a direct code for Android and iOS like Figma does. Zeplin doesn't have a lot of advanced features like Invision, for example, whiteboard. But Zeplin is good for at its job which is to share … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Zeplin is a really nice lightweight app, that is easier to use than Invision for sharing purposes. Invision does primarily handle prototyping, which Zeplin does not do. Abstract is my product of choice but is also a slightly different tool — almost a Github for design. It … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin We chose Zeplin because it allowed our product and design teams to collaborate more effectively, while providing the rest of the organization an easily accessible location to access up-to-date assets. While InVision's interface can be more intuitive, we prefer Zeplin because it … Incentivized Helpful? Ronald Melendez Desarrollador de software Chose Zeplin Marvel is a pretty expensive application for what it gives you, it is a pretty good tool but I think the handoff is not as good as Zeplin's. I think the style of Zeplin is more oriented to developers and Marvel is more oriented to the designers. I like the way Zeplin is … Incentivized Helpful? Carlos Eduardo de Souza Co-founder & Manager Chose Zeplin Zeplin is great to inspect and share user interfaces, specifications and assets, perfect for developers. Tools like Invision and Marvel are much better to create prototypes for both developers, coworkers and even stakeholders, but they don't have this kind of feature … Incentivized Helpful? Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Chose Zeplin For my company needs, Zeplin comes as the best tool in its category. Zeplin's competitors are great tools but they either offer way too many features or are priced above Zeplin with the same features. Zeplin is in the right spot for both pricing and features. Incentivized Helpful? Tariq Virani Product Manager Chose Zeplin Zeplin is a better tool for collaboration and has a deeper feature set that helps communicate the information developers need to build products. Incentivized Helpful? Brad Henderson Co-Founder/Chief Janitor Chose Zeplin I know there are other products out there but Zeplin has been so effective that I haven't even bothered to look elsewhere. The whole experience of Zeplin has been excellent. However, once Adobe XD is more built out Zeplin will finally have a formidable competitor as it will be … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zeplin Zeplin is much better when it comes to seeing the properties and CSS code of the design elements. Our developers love it when they get all that info from the Zeplin file. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Gardner Co-Founder Chose Zeplin Zeplin is the only solution tailored for this common use case. Previously we just shared files in dropbox but that was messy and didn't allow for specific comments, etc. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Avaza	Zeplin
Likelihood to Recommend	There are teams who work hard, and there are those who work smart. Avaza helps you be the latter--it's is a great tool for any team collaborating on several projects, especially multiple projects with a lot of simultaneously moving parts. It has just about everything you need - from team schedules to timesheets, down to the task and sub-task monitoring. The best part for me is that we can switch from List View to Kanban to Gantt charts! Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I still have some issues, especially with color integration between the style guide and also project. When we update the colors, it's not automatically sync to every project. Aside from that, zeplin solves my problem for hand-off design from design to developer. I set zeplin is source of truth design file Incentivized D Hendrik Mulyana Lead Designer Read full review
Pros	Helps keep track of time spent on each project Helps employees break down their time spent throughout the day Encourages better time management skills Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Provides dimensions across iOS, Android and Web which saves developers from a lot of guess and check when implementing designs Allows for easy download of digital design assets for developers to easily organize and implement Great user experience in terms of the product itself and a great value for your money Automatically generates CSS for web designs which is AMAZING! Incentivized Brad Henderson Co-Founder/Chief Janitor Read full review
Cons	I wish sub-tasks could also have due dates For really big projects, we hope there could be phases (aside from sections) In the chatbox, it would be great if photo attachments could be displayed as screenshots (instead of downloading the file) Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It would be better if it has a dedicated web application It's not the easiest tool to learn and start working with It would be awesome if it had more features turning it into an all-around tool for mockups and prototypes Incentivized Raphael Sanguinete Creative Director Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Because it has been amazing and easy to work with. Incentivized Veronica M Duckett Managing Partner Read full review	Great tool Incentivized Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Read full review
Usability	Avaza is very easy to use, but the mobile app needs work. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Zeplin's component management and style guide help us to be consistent across whole product and it so easy to use for non-technical person. It is now easy to collaboration for designes between different teams like stackholders, product owner, UI/UX, developers and testers. Now there is only one point of reference is Zeplin so it is so easy to get details without asking designer or developer again and again. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	They are always available and open to doing a call or a shared screen to walk through the issues. Incentivized Veronica M Duckett Managing Partner Read full review	Zeplin has classic support with a chat from the website. It's working fine, and we're also getting the support needed when needed. However, Zeplin is very good at closing the incidents and moving on. It was a while ago we had a case with their support so that it might have improved since then.

Alternatives Considered	I've used Trello before, but Avaza has way more features and is more applicable for cross-team collaboration. We selected Avaza for it's ability to not only project manage, but also for invoicing, expenses and it's ability to track time. We've gotten more accurate with estimate project hours, and therefore create more accurate proposals Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Out of all of the products that I have used to support design-to-development handoffs, Zeplin is my favorite. It’s pretty lightweight and easy to use (once you get the hang of it). Zeplin also has a smooth interface and is, generally, clearer to use than other tools, such as InVision. Plus, all of the plug-ins that you can use with Zeplin have supported the design-development relationship and workflows in which I’ve been involved in more efficient, clear, and effective ways than I’ve seen with any other product.

Return on Investment	Avaza has made it easier to see how long I spend on certain types of projects and where I could be spending more time. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We're using the free plan, so it fits in our needs, although we're limited to create only one project at a time Sketch has some plugins that offers exactly what Zeplin does, for free The integration with design apps (Sketch, Photoshop, XD) and collaboration (Slack and Trello) helps our team to better communicate and be notified on every update Incentivized Carlos Eduardo de Souza Co-founder & Manager Read full review
