1. One subscription instead of three
Teams that run Asana usually pay for a time tracker and an invoicing tool as well, then copy numbers between them. In Avaza the task, the hours and the invoice are the same record.
Tasks to invoices
Track time on a task, then add the unbilled hours to an invoice in a couple of clicks, grouped by project, category or person.
Quotes that become projects
Send an estimate, have the client approve it online, then convert the line items into tasks and the total into a budget.
Expenses in the same place
Log receipts from your phone, get them approved, and bill them on with a markup per category.
2. Time tracking on every plan, including Free
Asana sells timesheets and approvals as a paid add-on. In Avaza they are part of the product, so billable hours never have to be entered twice.
Timers anywhere
Start a timer on a task from the web, desktop or mobile app and stop it on another device.
Day and week views
Log a single entry or fill a whole week in one grid, and copy last week's timesheet as a starting point.
Approvals built in
Set a default approver per person or per project, approve or reject in bulk, and lock approved time.
Rounding when you bill
Round tracked time up when it lands on an invoice, not while it is being recorded.
3. Know which projects make money
Asana reports on task progress. Avaza also reports on the money: budgets, cost rates and billable rates feed profitability reports without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.
Budgets with alerts
Set a project budget in hours or an amount and get threshold alerts before it is blown.
Margins per project
Compare billable revenue with per-person cost rates in the Project Profitability report.
30+ reports
Filter any report, save it, and email it to yourself or a client on a schedule as PDF or Excel.
4. Schedule people, not just tasks
Asana's workload view is limited to its Advanced plan and above. Avaza's team schedule is included, and it talks to the timesheets.
Drag-and-drop bookings
Plan people across projects days or weeks ahead on a team or project timeline.
Real availability
Daily capacity, leave and public holidays show who is free and who is over capacity.
Schedule to timesheet
Scheduled assignments appear on the timesheet day view, where one click creates the time entry.
Planned vs actual
The Schedule vs Timesheets report compares booked hours with hours logged.

Bank-level securityAsana alternative FAQs
Is Avaza a good alternative to Asana?
Yes, if you need more than task management. Avaza includes projects with list, Kanban, Gantt and calendar views plus timesheets, expenses, quotes, invoicing, resource scheduling, team chat and 30+ reports in one product, so a services team does not need a separate time tracker and billing tool. If you only need a task list for an internal team, Asana's free plan may be enough.
How much does Asana cost in 2026?
As of September 2026, asana.com/pricing lists a free Personal plan, Starter at $13.49 per user per month billed monthly ($10.99 billed annually), Advanced at $30.49 per user per month billed monthly ($24.99 billed annually) and Enterprise at custom pricing. Timesheets, time approvals and budgets are a separate Timesheets & Budgets add-on at $5.99 per user per month billed annually, available on Starter and above.
Does Asana have time tracking, invoicing or expenses?
Asana's pricing page lists native time tracking on its Advanced plan and above, with timesheets, approvals, rates and budgets in its paid Timesheets & Budgets add-on. It does not offer invoicing, quotes or expense management. Avaza includes timesheets, approvals, expenses, quotes and invoicing on every plan, including Free.
Can I import my Asana projects into Avaza?
Yes. Export each project from Asana as a CSV file, then upload it in Avaza under Settings › Import Data using the project and task imports. Projects that do not exist yet can be created automatically once their companies are in Avaza. Team members are invited by email rather than imported, and users who will be assigned tasks need to be added to the project first.
Does Avaza have a free plan?
Yes. Every account starts on the Free plan with no credit card required. It includes one Timesheet/Expense user, one Scheduling user, five Chat users, five active projects, ten customers, five invoices and bills a month and unlimited project collaborators. Paid plans start at $11.95 per month and additional Timesheet or Admin users are $7 per user per month.
Can my clients use Avaza for free?
Yes. Project collaborators are unlimited and free on every plan, so clients and contractors can view tasks, comment and share files without costing you a seat. Clients can also approve estimates online, view and pay invoices, and, if you choose, act as timesheet approvers.
Does Avaza integrate with Asana?
Avaza does not offer a native Asana integration. It connects to thousands of other apps through Zapier and includes a REST API and webhooks, so hand-offs can be automated while you transition. For accounting, Avaza's own native two-way integrations with Xero and QuickBooks Online sync invoices, payments, contacts and taxes, so your books stay current without re-keying.
