Avaza
Chose Avaza
Avaza takes the easy of Asana and adds the invoicing and bookkeeping capabilities you need all in one place.
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.
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 …
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 …

Zoho Invoice streamlines bill creation and sending by personalizing invoices with logos, identities, and terms. It offers detailed payment reports, an integrated payment system, and payment summaries for tracking success. It automates invoicing and payment tasks, saving time …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Google Drive stored my invoices in one accessible location but required more time and maintenance. I didn't want to invest the time into building out sheet functions to carry over figures across sheets, so I researched invoicing options. I am already a fan of Zoho services, so …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Zoho Invoice is much easier and convenient then Microsoft Office 365 when we create invoices and track or manage payments. Furthermore, Zoho Invoice integrates effortlessly with Stripe Payments, enabling us to quickly create online payment links inside the digital online …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Before Zoho Invoice, I used Cashboard App. Cashboard App did what I needed, but it was limited as far as the reports and the types of payments I could accept. Offering a variety of payment options is important to me as a provider. It also wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Zoho Invoice is easier to use, for pure invoicing and time tracking, then QuickBooks Online and O365. QuickBooks Online is more robust, but with that comes the admin overhead to learn, update and maintain. O365 requires manual creation of invoices, or searching out available …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Zoho Invoice stacks up well against may other products as it brings real value for little of no investment up front...Zoho Invoice is also very easy to learn, configure, and use.
Chose Zoho Invoice
The first one I used was Zoho Books. I liked it, it is very similar but has more options, it looked excellent integrated with Zoho CRM, but I really need something simpler and so, I selected Zoho Invoice. The latest update of Zoho CRM integrates well. When we grow more as a …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Method:CRM was a disaster. We spent several weeks trying to set up Method:CRM and promises about connecting to a merchant account simply did not exist. Zoho was up and running in one day. We reviewed around 15 different options and Zoho was the best/most suitable for us.
Chose Zoho Invoice
Freshbooks is very robust, with many, many layers of functionality. While they try to help businesses save by customizing certain parts of the process, they just can't edit enough to reach a reasonable justification for some small businesses as far as the cost goes. Zoho …

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!

Zoho Invoice is well suited for any business, regardless of size, that needs to have a way to create invoices with hourly or flat rates. It's easy to create and archive projects. It also integrates into their other tools, including Zoho Projects. Zoho is great for businesses who want to accept online payments.You can use PayPal, Stripe, and a few others. Clients can also pay via ACH. It lets you know when a payment is processing AND when it clears. I believe that it would not be well suited in instances where a company creates lots of credit notes (because from the invoice screen the credit will appear to grow, but when you check active credit notes, it is the right amount) or estimates (I can't figure out how to use this feature)

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)

  • Zoho Invoice can be complicated if you want to create a more advanced custom invoice or custom recurring invoice.
  • Zoho Invoice does not provide all of its functionalities on the mobile version of its platform.
  • Zoho Invoice is expensive for some small business owners especially if they don't plan on using it often.

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.
Read full review
  • The biggest ROI for my business is that Zoho Invoice reduced the cost of invoicing so much, that I was able to invest that savings back into the business development allowing us to grow.
  • Zoho Invoice provides the option of giving your clients a client portal through which they have access to their own accounts and can see and print their own reports as needed. That helps to create a transparency that our clients love.
  • Zoho Invoice has been dependable. I have not had one issue with using the platform or its functions since I switched to it a few years ago.
