Gaviti is an A/R platform that brings collections workflows, a customer self-service portal, cash application, dispute management, credit management and AR analytics into one product. Teams usually look for a Gaviti alternative for one of two reasons: their collectors' week goes mostly into follow-up calls and conversations, or they want an AI agent that holds those conversations with customers by phone, text and email. This page explains how Abivo and Gaviti differ so you can tell which one fits your team.
Full disclosure: Abivo is our product. Facts about Gaviti come from Gaviti's own website as of October 2026; check gaviti.com for the latest.
Short answer: choose Gaviti if you want one platform for the wider invoice to cash process: automated reminder workflows, a payer portal with online payments, cash application, credit management, disputes and deductions, and forecasting. Choose Abivo if your biggest cost is routine follow-up, especially phone follow-up, and you want an AI agent to call, text and email customers about overdue invoices, capture what they say, and hand your team only the accounts that need judgment.

When Is Gaviti the Right Fit?
You want a customer self-service portal where customers view invoices, pay by card, ACH or e-wallet, and open disputes themselves.
You want cash application in the same product, matching payments to invoices automatically.
Credit matters as much as collections, and you want credit scoring, approvals and monitoring alongside your workflows.
You want disputes in a structured workflow, with customers able to open and monitor them in the portal.
You want invoice distribution, AR analytics and forecasting in one platform.
Your team wants an AI assistant inside the platform to answer questions about invoices and customers, create workflows and write emails.
You run a custom or less common ERP, since Gaviti describes itself as ERP agnostic and able to connect to several systems at once.
When Is Abivo the Right Fit?
Your collectors spend most of the week on routine follow-up. Abivo's agent, Kate, works every overdue invoice on a steady cadence across phone, text and email, in your brand, and logs every conversation with an outcome. Cadence can be set per account or per segment, so key customers get a different rhythm from the long tail.
Your accounts get resolved in conversation. Many overdue invoices need someone to ask when payment is coming, confirm the right contact, or learn that the invoice was never received. Kate holds that conversation and records the promise to pay, the dispute or the next step.
Your customers need context to pay. Kate's reminders name the invoice details your customers recognize, such as the job, site, PO or billing period, and one message can cover every open invoice on an account.
You want a clean handoff to your team. Disputes, refusals and requests to speak to a person go to your team. Your collectors can pause or take over any customer at any time, or pause follow-up on a single invoice, so sensitive accounts stay in human hands.
You run several entities or sell abroad. Follow-up stays separated by subsidiary, works in any currency, and reaches customers in many countries.
You run a team of three or more collectors and want every account covered every week without adding headcount.

How to Decide
Tag one week of your collectors' work: reminders, follow-up calls, disputes, cash application, credit reviews and reporting.
Look at how accounts actually get resolved. If most customers pay after a reminder or through a portal, a workflow platform with payments and cash application may be all you need. If most resolutions come from a conversation, pilot an agent that holds the conversation.
Test the accounting sync on real data, including payment updates, so no one is chased after paying.
Judge a 60 to 90 day pilot on DSO and on how many overdue accounts got a real touch each week.
