Which one is for you
Pick Avaza if
- Fits if you're a consultancy or agency that bills clients for tracked time
- Works for businesses with lots of outside collaborators, who are free on every plan
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to run projects from a phone app, as the mobile apps are for time tracking
- Tight if you're staying free with a team: 1 user can log time, with 5 active projects, 5 invoices a month and 100 MB
- Skip it if several people book resources, as every plan includes 1 scheduling user and more are $7 a month each
- Watch out: each plan counts users per role, so extra timesheet or admin users are $7 a month each on top of the flat price
- Tight if your team chats in it, as every plan includes 5 chat members and more are paid add-ons
Pick Birdview if
- Fits if you manage projects and resourcing for a team of 5 to 100
- Works for teams that live in Microsoft Teams or Outlook
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you need time tracking or workload: Team is $24 a user a month on yearly billing
- Watch out: Lite has one custom workflow and stops at 10 users
- Not for you if you bill clients inside it, as that sits in the PSA edition at a $37 special price ($41 regular)
- Tight if you need SAML or Active Directory, which are Enterprise only and quoted by sales
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAAvazaFair | 2.0GPABirdviewFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStartup is a flat $9.96 a month billed annually, $11.95 month to month. That's ordinary money here: a shade under this category's dearer quarter of $10 and well above its $5.10 low end. And the flat price covers 2 timesheet users and 1 admin, with every extra $7 a month. | DLite is $9 a user a month billed yearly, but time tracking, budgeting and workload start at Team, $24, against a $9 middle and $30 for the dearest tenth. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree gives unlimited project collaborators and 5 active projects, then stops: 1 user who can log time, 10 customers, 5 invoices and bills a month and 100 MB of storage. A freelancer with a few clients will manage; nobody else will. | C14-day free trial; the page doesn't say whether a card is needed, and there is no free plan. |
| Features | BProjects right through to getting paid: tasks as lists, kanban boards or Gantt charts, a drag-and-drop schedule showing who's over capacity, timers and timesheets, expenses by emailed receipt, quotes, and invoices people can pay online. Team chat too. | CTable, Kanban, Gantt and calendar views, workload, AI assistants. The gap: billing and invoicing are in the separate PSA Team edition, $37 a user. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record, and picking a plan is its own little job, since each one counts users separately for timesheets, admin, scheduling and chat. Nothing to install at least: it's a responsive web app. | CNo store rating on record, and workflows, views and budgets have to be built. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA responsive web app, with iPhone and Android apps that only do time tracking, so running a project means a browser. It connects to Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, Slack, Zapier, Google Drive, Dropbox and Jira, and there's a public API. | BWeb plus iOS and Android apps, with Zapier, Workato, Teams, QuickBooks, Jira and Outlook. No desktop app. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
