Avaza vs My Hours
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Avaza and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Avaza vs My Hours: at a glance
What is Avaza?
Avaza's MCP server is still the news; the feed has turned to services-firm guides.
Avaza's recent entries are long-form guides for professional services firms on billable hours, revenue leakage, capacity planning and PSA software. No entry since the MCP server and subtask rebuild describes a new release.
What is My Hours?
My Hours 10.2 adds lifetime project profitability, including flat-fee work.
10.2 adds an all-time Balance column that shows lifetime project profitability, flat-fee projects included, and Project overview now shows Balance and Margin (all time). Clients can have multiple contacts for invoices and scheduled reports, and normal users can complete their assigned tasks if a Pro setting allows it. Those changes follow 10.0's configurable timesheet periods and locking and 10.1's account-wide audit log.
Avaza vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side
Avaza
5.0PM
Avaza's MCP server is still the news; the feed has turned to services-firm guides.
◆ Current state
Avaza's recent entries are long-form guides for professional services firms on billable hours, revenue leakage, capacity planning and PSA software. No entry since the MCP server and subtask rebuild describes a new release.
◆ Where it's heading
Avaza is positioning itself to become the system AI agents read from and write to when a professional-services workflow needs context — quotes, billable hours, project status. The MCP server is the infrastructure for that bet; the subtask rebuild and status customization narrow the gap with heavier-weight project management tools. Cadence is moderate, but the MCP move is unusual for an SMB-focused vendor.
◆ Prediction
Expect more buying guides aimed at services firms. A follow-up to the MCP work is plausible, but these entries show no product signal.
My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours 10.2 adds lifetime project profitability, including flat-fee work.
◆ Current state
10.2 adds an all-time Balance column that shows lifetime project profitability, flat-fee projects included, and Project overview now shows Balance and Margin (all time). Clients can have multiple contacts for invoices and scheduled reports, and normal users can complete their assigned tasks if a Pro setting allows it. Those changes follow 10.0's configurable timesheet periods and locking and 10.1's account-wide audit log.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours is moving from time capture toward the money view of a project, on top of the controls finance and HR teams expect: periods, locks, approvals and a record of who changed what. Invoicing keeps getting deeper alongside that. The Claude connector remains a secondary interface, and nothing has been added to it since launch.
◆ Prediction
Expect more profitability reporting built on the all-time figures, along with approval and export features on top of timesheet periods. The entries don't show where the MCP integration goes next.
