Avaza alternatives
Avaza charges a flat price per plan with users included; its Free, Startup and Basic plans cap active projects and invoices a month, and Business has no such cap. It records a deposit as an advance invoice carried to later invoices with a credit note, saves a report as CSV only through an Excel file, sets a rate by person, work category or project, and translates an invoice through the labels of a template that you write.
