Deltek Ajera alternatives for architecture and engineering firms
Deltek Ajera combines project management and project-based accounting in one application, built for small architecture and engineering firms. Firms that want to keep that accounting core sometimes look for a workspace alongside it for pursuits, proposals, people, and the knowledge in past work. Hubity is that kind of workspace. It is not an accounting system and does not replace Ajera's accounting.
The options
Each tool in its own words, from its published pages as of October 2026. Where another tool is the better fit, we say so.
Hubity
You keep your books where they are and want a separate workspace for pipeline, proposals, and RFP responses.
