Migrate your Avaza data
All-in-one work management platform combining project management, time tracking, expense management, and invoicing for small-to-medium service businesses. Targets teams needing unified billing and resource visibility without a full PSA suite.
In its favor
Why people choose Avaza
The signal that keeps Avaza on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Small teams pick Avaza for its free tier with unlimited contacts and project collaborators, removing billing friction during initial adoption.
Service businesses cite the tight integration between time tracking and invoicing as a reason to stay — time logged against a project flows directly to an invoice.
Project managers value the resource scheduling view showing who is allocated to which project across the team calendar.
Professional services firms highlight that quotes can be converted to active projects in one click, keeping the sales-to-delivery pipeline fluid.
Small businesses choose Avaza over point solutions because one login covers projects, tasks, team chat, expenses, and billing.
Advanced task management features are limited compared to dedicated tools, causing teams managing complex project hierarchies to look elsewhere.
Reporting requires navigating role-based permissions and is described as difficult to access, create, and use for real-time profit-and-loss visibility.
Teams scaling beyond small-business size find the platform lacks the depth needed for multi-project portfolio management and enterprise workflows.
Integration capabilities are considered limited, prompting teams with complex toolchains to migrate to platforms with richer marketplace ecosystems.

Pricing tiers
Avaza pricing overview
Avaza uses a per-user pricing model for Timesheet/Expense, Admin/Finance, and Resource Scheduling seats. Additional users cost $7/month each. Storage beyond the tier allocation is billed at $0.50 per GB per month. The Free tier is functionally limited to 5 active projects and 10 customers, which is a common migration scope constraint.

What gets migrated
Avaza object support
Object-by-object support for Avaza migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are Avaza's top-level container. They carry billing method, budget, cost rate, and billable rate settings inherited from the contact or timesheet category level. We migrate projects 1:1, preserving dates, status, team member assignments, and custom fields.
Sections
Fully supportedSections are grouping containers inside a project used to organise Tasks. They have a display order and no independent metadata. We migrate them in sequence with their parent project.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks sit inside Sections inside Projects. Each task carries assignees, due dates, priorities, and flat-rate amounts. We preserve the full task hierarchy and assignee mapping.
Timesheets
Mapping requiredTimesheets are time entries linked to a project, section, task, user, and timesheet category. Billable rates and cost rates are copied into each timesheet record from the project at entry time and can diverge from source settings. We map the timesheet record including its frozen rate values and flag any entries where the rate was overridden post-creation.
Expenses
Fully supportedExpenses are linked to a project and carry amount, currency, category, billable flag, and receipt attachments. We migrate expenses as-is and preserve the billable flag for downstream invoicing.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoices are financial records that can include free-form line items, timesheet blocks, expense blocks, and task fixed amounts. They reference customers and carry payment status. We import invoices as completed records and flag any that were partially paid at migration time.
Quotes and Estimates
Mapping requiredQuotes are distinct from invoices and have approval statuses and client-view links. Avaza can convert a quote to a project but the quote itself is not a project sub-object. We reconstruct quote line items as project-level data.
Customers and External Contacts
Fully supportedCustomers are contacts billable at the account level. External Contacts are broader and include project collaborators and client portal users. Both are migratable and carry billing and payment-term settings.
Users and Team Members
Mapping requiredAvaza differentiates between Project Collaborators, Timesheet/Expense Users, Admin/Finance Users, Resource Schedulers, and Chat-access Team Members. Role-based limits vary by tier. We map the user identity and role assignments and flag any role counts that exceed destination plan limits.
Timesheet Categories
Fully supportedTimesheet Categories define the type of work logged and carry default billable and cost rates that cascade into projects and timesheet entries. We migrate categories and preserve their rate configurations.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments on tasks, expenses, and invoices are stored internally. We migrate file references and re-attach files where the export includes the blob or a reachable URL. Files without a reachable URL are noted in the migration report.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields are available on Projects and Tasks and appear in filtered report views. They are not surfaced in the standard export grid without applying the correct filter context. We map named custom fields explicitly during the discovery phase.
Reports and Exports
Fully supportedAvaza exposes 48 named reports across Project Management, Finance, Expenses, and Exports sections. Reports are role-filtered. We pull from the Exports section for raw unformatted data suitable for import elsewhere.
Team Chat Channels
Not in this platformTeam Chat is an internal messaging layer without a documented export endpoint. Chat history is not included in data exports and we cannot migrate it. We flag this gap upfront during scoping.
