Phloz vs Avaza
Avaza is time-tracking + invoicing for small teams. Phloz is an agency CRM + work management + the tracking map, with retainer-burn — the delivery + tracking layer Avaza doesn't have.
What Phloz has that Avazadoesn't
- Typed tracking-infrastructure map + proactive tracking-health
- Agency CRM (clients, contacts, messages, departments) — Avaza is PM + billing, not a CRM
- Client portals with magic-link access
- Note: Avaza does billable-time → invoicing; Phloz does retainer-burn but not invoicing (offload billing to Stripe / your accounting tool)
When Avaza is the right choice
If you're not running a digital marketing agency, Avaza is likely a fine fit. Avazais a mature, capable product — it just isn't shaped for our specific use case. Phloz exists because we couldn't find a platform that treated agency ops and tracking infrastructure as first-class.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Phloz really cheaper than Avaza for an agency?
- It depends on your team size and client count. Phloz charges per active client (not per seat or per contact), and viewer seats for client stakeholders are free. Most agencies that switch from Avaza cut their monthly tooling cost by 30-60% — see /pricing for the math at your tier.
- Can Phloz replace Avaza entirely, or is it a complement?
- For digital marketing agencies running CRM + work management + tracking infrastructure on Avaza (or trying to), Phloz is a full replacement. For agencies using Avaza for non-agency-shaped work (sales pipelines for product companies, generic team PM unrelated to client work), Phloz isn't trying to replace those use cases.
- How long does migrating from Avaza take?
- Most teams move in 1-3 days: a few hours of structural mapping, a CSV import (Phloz has a workspace-import flow), and a parallel-running week to verify nothing slipped. The main lift is mental — accepting the agency-shaped defaults instead of recreating your Avaza setup verbatim.
- Does Phloz integrate with Avaza?
- Not natively in V1. Most agencies switching off Avaza export their data and import to Phloz once, then leave Avaza behind. If you need bidirectional sync — for instance, Avaza stays as the company-wide CRM and Phloz handles agency ops only — V2 will add API-based integration. Talk to us about your specific case at contact@phloz.com.
- Why doesn't Avaza have a tracking infrastructure map?
- Tracking infrastructure as a typed graph (every GA4 property, GTM container, ad pixel, conversion action, audience per client, with health state and verification cadence) isn't a feature Avaza positions for. Phloz built it because every agency we talked to was tracking this in a Google Sheet. It's the moat — no other tool ships it.
