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 Avaza doesn'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. Avaza is 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 plans are sized by active clients, with a set number of team seats included in each (extra seats cost extra), nothing is charged per contact, and viewer seats for client stakeholders are free — so the comparison turns on how many clients you run versus how many people and contacts you have. Run your own numbers on /pricing; we would rather you check than take our word for it.
- Can Phloz replace Avaza entirely, or is it a complement?
- For digital marketing agencies running client CRM, delivery work, and tracking documentation on Avaza (or trying to), Phloz can replace that part. It doesn't replace everything Avaza may do: sales pipelines for product companies, invoicing or job costing, live-data dashboards, and generic team PM unrelated to client work stay where they are — so for some agencies Phloz is a complement, not a replacement.
- How long does migrating from Avaza take?
- Plan on 1-3 days: a few hours of structural mapping, importing clients and their contacts from a CSV and re-creating open work by hand, 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?
- No. Phloz has no Avaza integration, no public API, and no Zapier connector, so the two don't sync. Teams switching off Avaza export what they need, re-create clients and open work in Phloz by hand, then leave Avaza behind. If Avaza stays as the company-wide tool and Phloz handles agency ops only, the two run side by side without a sync. 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, and conversion action per client, with health state and verification cadence) isn't a feature Avaza positions for. Phloz built it because the usual alternative is a spreadsheet that goes stale. It's the center of Phloz, not an add-on.
