Avanqi

Avanqi is a cloud platform for managing organizational change across projects and portfolios. It is aimed at change managers, PMOs, transformation offices, and governance teams; small teams with one informal change project may find its structure and pricing tiers excessive.

Overview

Avanqi links impact assessment and stakeholder planning with communications, approvals, evidence, and executive reporting. Its portfolio view brings initiatives, programs, delivery posture, risks, and change load together, making it a fit for teams that need to govern concurrent change rather than coordinate each effort in isolation. Structured scoring for complexity, change saturation, and operational impact supports a consistent assessment process.

Key features

Stakeholder planning: Teams can map influence, readiness, and engagement actions. That gives change leaders a way to connect assessment with follow-through, rather than treating stakeholder mapping as a standalone exercise.

Governance and evidence: Versioned documents, approvals, and delivery evidence remain connected to change records, with document lineage and approval history. This is useful where teams need traceable decisions and records; it may be more process than an informal project requires.

AI assistance: A permission-scoped assistant summarizes visible work, suggests next actions, cites source pages, and prepares drafts. AI starts off for each organization, and an administrator must accept the AI terms to enable it. Drafts require explicit confirmation before they change business records, a practical safeguard for governed workflows.

Access and security: Avanqi describes organization- and project-level permissions, authenticator apps and passkeys, configurable single sign-on, and role-restricted audit history. It uses HTTPS to encrypt information in transit, but is not currently ISO 27001 certified and has no SOC 2 report. Buyers requiring either assurance should look elsewhere. Service providers may process information in Australia or other countries where they operate; Avanqi does not store full card numbers.

Integrations and pilot: The Business plan includes Jira connector controls. Outcomes Control Tower can ingest evidence through governed CSV and API workflows, but it is a pilot available only to explicitly approved organizations, so it should not be assumed as a standard capability.

Pricing

Avanqi uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs nothing and is described as billed Free for evaluation. It allows 1 active change project and 1 active member, with core portfolio, stakeholder, and document workspaces plus community support. That is enough to evaluate the core workflow, but the one-member and one-project caps make it unsuitable for team delivery.

Team costs $49 a month, billed $490 billed yearly. It includes 5 seats, 25 active change projects, approval workflows, and audit history. Extra seats cost $5.99/user monthly or $59.90/user yearly. This is the practical step up for a small team that needs governed approvals across several projects, though seat costs matter as membership grows.

Business costs $149 a month, billed $1,490 billed yearly. It includes 20 seats and unlimited active change projects, with extra seats at $6.99/user monthly or $69.90/user yearly. Business SSO, Jira connector controls, and priority onboarding support make it the stronger fit for larger teams with integration and access-control needs. Enterprise has custom pricing under a manual agreement and includes everything in Business, plus a manual enterprise license override and custom onboarding, support, and procurement terms.

Platforms

Avanqi runs on the web and is delivered as a cloud service. Email is its primary support channel; Free users receive community support, while Business includes priority onboarding support.

Who it's for

Avanqi is best suited to change managers, transformation offices, PMOs, governance owners, and business change leaders coordinating enterprise or regulated change. Its connected portfolio, stakeholder, approval, and evidence workflows are most valuable when several initiatives need consistent oversight. A small team seeking a lightweight tool for a single project is less likely to need that breadth, and organizations with mandatory ISO 27001 or SOC 2 assurance should consider another option.

Pros and cons

Pro: Portfolio oversight connects risks, delivery posture, and change load across initiatives, useful to PMOs managing concurrent work.

Pro: Versioned records, approval history, and linked delivery evidence support traceability in governed change processes.

Pro: AI drafts need explicit confirmation before business records change, and the assistant is permission-scoped.

Con: The Free plan's single active member and project limit it to evaluation rather than collaborative delivery.

Con: ISO 27001 certification and a SOC 2 report are absent, which may disqualify it for buyers with those assurance requirements.

Con: Control Tower is restricted to approved pilot organizations, limiting its relevance as a dependable standard workflow.

Verdict

Choose Avanqi if your team needs a governed view of change across multiple projects, with stakeholder work, approvals, evidence, and portfolio oversight tied together. Its strongest case is the joined-up workflow and traceability; look elsewhere if the Free plan's tight caps are a problem or your organization requires ISO 27001 certification or a SOC 2 report.
