Pros Clear, minimalistic and great interface with awesome interactions/microinteractions. Integrations with tools like Asana, calendars, collaborations with the team, and simplicity of use! Fantastic mobile apps. Cons I don't have any points to add here, I have not had any problems using Float - maybe a desktop application for Mac would be useful ;) Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Reason for choosing Float Simplicity, clean interface, clear workflow, integrations Switched from [Wrike](https://www.capterra.com/p/76113/Wrike/) Wrike was a very complicated tool - it made work difficult instead of organising it Review Source Adam S. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid Product" June 27, 2022 5.0 It's helped us grow a lot and help more people. It's really helped us spend less time doing admin work and more time doing real work and helping people. It takes some getting used to and commitment but it's beautifully designed, intuitive, and a big part of our success. Pros How easy it is to use. It's easy to jump in and also complicated enough that you can really use some advanced features. Cons There are of course small issues here and there but none worth mentioning at all. It's truly a great product and really helpful. Reason for choosing Float We considered quite a few but Float seemed to be the easiest to use and easiest to jump into. It had a small learning curve in comparison and we felt if it didn't work we could easily switch to another platform. We ended up sticking with it though. Switched from [Toggl Focus](https://www.capterra.com/p/140685/Teamweek/) It didn't have enough features that we wanted. There was a lot of tedious components that really didn't work for us. Review Source Response from Pixel Paddock July 1, 2022 Thank you for your review, Adam! Excellent to hear that Float is saving you time on admin work so you can do more of what you do best!

Lots of potential" September 5, 2019 3.0 I've been using CETA scheduling software for the last 4 years in big VFX companies and I must say that Float is not there yet but is actually getting broadly comparable. In the last 4 months that I introduced it into my new team it's proved to be quite useful to keep track of the progression of our projects. During these months I've seen that it has already improved in many areas that I'm excited to see what comes next. I can see it can become a really powerful software. Pros There aren't may softwares that let you schedule a team in such an easy and organised way. I think most softwares nowadays are too complex and make you spend more time organising tasks than actually working on them. Float is so clear and simple you can actually use it to manage big projects without spending too much time on it. Cons It's getting better, but it would be very useful if we could: - Right click on a pencil and be able to copy it over into a different person. - Book more than one person on the same project (for example if two workers are on the same project because one of them is doing a training but you don't want to charge twice for that time). - Lately when I try to schedule more than 1 project in one day on the same person I get a message saying I can't schedule anyone for more than 24 hours) even if I'm not exceeding the 8 normal working hours. It'd be great if that could be fixed. - It'd be good if milestones were more visible. - I think reports should be a bit less complicated and more visual. - It'd be really helpful if you could group projects up in folders when you go to the Projects tab as at the moment we have like... 45 different projects going on and although we color code them it's difficult to organise all of them. -I'd like to have more than only three types of view when looking at our schedules a part from 'Days, 'Weeks' and 'Months'. It'd be great if you could 'Archive' users as well as projects. So when a worker it's not working at the company anymore and you don't want to pay for it on Float you can kind of 'Archive' him (so you are not able to book him on anything but still you can see him on the boards so you don't loose what it's been scheduled on him.)

It's good value for the price it offers and it's very intuitive and flexible. Switched from [monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Monday has too many tools that you don't really get to use when scheduling. It also doesn't have an overview of projects as clear as the one Float has. Review Source MN Muna N. Student Cosmetics Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "My experience wit Float" May 25, 2026 5.0 Overall, I would recommend to use it, since it easier to navigate and tools available are enough to set up with complication Pros What I liked most about Float is that it is very easy to use and helps manage expenses smoothly. The app makes tracking spending and company cards simple and fast. Cons One thing I don’t like about Float is that the schedule and approval process can sometimes feel slow when waiting for updates or confirmations. Review Source Martijn D. Strategic Designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool!" June 15, 2022 4.0 Overall we love to use float. We especially like the time logging features. Pros The interface has a great overview. Adding projects and tasks is intuitive and the colours make every tasks and project stand out. Logging time is really easy. We were not interested in a "log-per-minute" type of application but rather one where you can just log bigger blocks. Float helped us plan and log our time better. Cons Planning a project is not super extensive. Float has some tools but the tools are a bit limited. The time tracking feature is the feature we use the most, it is a shame that is not available separately. Switched from [Clockify](https://www.capterra.com/p/169607/Clockify/) At the time of the switch, clockify did not offer the features we were looking for. Float did. Review Source Response from Pixel Paddock July 1, 2022 Thanks for your review, Martijn! Excellent that Float is helping you plan and track your time better. We have some exciting new time tracking features coming soon, stay tuned! Alessandro M. Senior Producer Coordinator Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "MID-SIZE CREATIVE TEAM (20 ppl)" August 28, 2023 4.0 Pros Float is a powerful tool that can help the managers to make sure the team is not overloaded (or underloaded :) ).At the same time we have a clear vision if we, as a team, we can take more projects to work on or we have to raise our hand because we are in difficult Cons Visually could be more appealing. User interface is easy but it could be more eye-catching for the creative team Alternatives considered [Resource Guru](https://www.capterra.com/p/134429/Resource-Guru/) Reason for choosing Float The opportunity to have a mobile app and a time tracker Review Source KA Keir A. Principal Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I was able to get an okay experience on my business cards using the float application" February 21, 2026 4.0 I no longer have to use my personal card for business travel since I have this application and that has been a huge relief because waiting for reimbursement is the absolute worst. When I create an expense report, the float app will automatically match my receipts to the corresponding charges, so I won’t lose them in my bag or forget about them. This application keeps me from having to complete a huge amount of paperwork at the end of the month, which is honestly all I really care about. Pros The float app works well and I don’t have to go through 20 different steps to find my budget and past spending history as I would with American Express. I’m able to quickly view my budget and spending history without having to dig through a lot of menus, which is nice since I’m waiting for the bus and I just want to check my balance. It’s similar to revolut, everything is right there. Cons It’s so frustrating to have to enter two emails separately every time I am trying to send an invoice to multiple people. The receipt scanner is just a camera and does not pick up the text most of the time so I end up typing in all of it. Ugh, the bus is late again and I’m so hungry at this point. Rewards may be a little under where I’d like to see them, but hey you can’t have everything. Review Source EW Emma W. Business administrator Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Equitable work allocation" April 21, 2025 5.0 It has increased punctuality by being able to submit projects on time as a team and streamline each process. Having a real-time overview makes teamwork easier. Pros What I love most about Float is the ability to ensure equal work among the entire team and a more productive performance among everyone by having the ability to plan each project more strategically, providing perfect monitoring that helps us understand the progress of the work and what needs to be improved. It helps us greatly meet our team goals and immediately manage any work irregularities that arise. Cons Their performance has been extremely useful, with no glitches or poor service. The entire operation has been accurate, and their tools are fully integrated. Review Source NH Natalie H. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An all rounder for project scheduling and costing" February 11, 2025 5.0 Very impressive. Easy to use and reports are easy to download Pros The ease of managing projects costs and scheduling Cons When deleting an entry, you sometimes need to refresh the page to change the cursor back to normal Review Source RC Rajesh C. President Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Float Review for capacity adoption" July 20, 2025 5.0 Float helps to spread the loads and see who is too taken, but need some time for team to take habit to keep it up to date. Pros Schedule view readable, fast drag drop, clear capacity forecasts, simple adjustments, Float offers all needed for a better organisation. Cons There are fields stay rigid (tags, roles) and if several edit same time we sometimes have small shifts or need reload which breaks the flow. Review Source AS Alain S. iOS Team Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best tool for our purpose, with some issues" August 29, 2023 4.0 Pros It gives a good overview over the planned projects, even if there are many employees in different teams. The planning, time tracking and reporting features seem to work in a stable manner. Sorting and filtering is done really well. Cons There are some UX problems which are just plain weird. Scheduling time for an employee is tedious because the planned time affects the duration and vice-versa. We do our planning on a weekly basis instead of day-to-day, so we're often entering time planned like 0.4h/day which is more complicated than we would like it to be. There are some weird issues with the API as well, where some fields are not being applied correctly, or behavior changes with updates. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) We previously used a custom Google Sheet but we outgrew this solution and it became unmaintainable in the long run. Review Source LF Lewis F. Director Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "You might manage without it, but you really shouldn't" June 17, 2022 5.0 Good, really helps to smooth things out by communicating the schedule to everyone concerned, easy to learn and use, support is fast and friendly. Pros Zapier integration, user interface/layout, ability for others to view the schedule without being a billed user, flexibility, detailed reporting function, contstant improvements and updates. Cons I'd like to have employee birthdays displayed on the schedule somehow, other calendars use suitable icons e.g. cake with candles. There's really nothing else important I'd ask for. Alternatives considered [Toggl Focus](https://www.capterra.com/p/140685/Teamweek/) Reason for choosing Float Better layout and interface, does it's job of resource management very well without becoming a bloated jack of all trades master of none, easy to use, per user pricing was acceptable. Review Source Response from Pixel Paddock July 1, 2022 Thanks for your review, Lewis! Great to hear that Float is keeping everyone in your team in the loop. MK Marta K. Head of Delivery Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Imaging floating through production or traffic management meetings!" March 21, 2023 5.0 We have been using it for almost 2 years, overall we are happy although it took a bit to get the hang of things. The customer service was super nice and helpful the couple of times I have reachedout.We have tried the time recording module a few months back but the price was too much for us at that time. Pros That once you get the hang of it is great tool for my team (about 40 team members). The big board gives great overview and the filters work like charm! As long as you have set them up correctly. This took a bit to click through all the team members but once done it make traffic management SO much easier! Cons Lack of multiple currencies, very cumbersome managment of retainer projects (those that need to be repeated month by month). Phases don't really work for me as it's too much maintenance and it's not the easiest to do Alternatives considered [Resource Guru](https://www.capterra.com/p/134429/Resource-Guru/)[monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing Float Interface, price, personal preferance that's difficult to pinpoint at the moment.

I also like the filter so I can see just me. We are using to get a general sense of tracking time. Cons Some views are "too much" to look at. It is very crowded and hard to read when looking at everyone. Review Source FT Federico T. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy To Use" January 9, 2025 5.0 Pros Float is very easy to use and it helps me plan my team's resources effectively. I can easily see everyone's availability and assign tasks. It also integrates with other tools that I use Cons Nothing really bad, except the reporting could be better. It would be helpful to have more options for visualizing data and generating reports Review Source MJ Miłosz J.

I use it every day, and it has made scheduling tasks and tracking progress so much easier for me. It’s a tool that’s become an essential part of my workflow, helping me stay organized and manage projects more efficiently.

It made managing shifts and schedules a breeze.- The impactful features for me include the project planning/scheduling tool, which helped in allocating resources and tracking milestones effectively.- The integration with existing business processes was relatively smooth, saving us time and effort. Cons \- While most aspects are user-friendly, there were occasional instances where certain features felt a bit cumbersome to navigate.- The integration with existing processes did pose some challenges initially, requiring adjustments on our end to fully align. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Research Executive Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An easy and time efficient tracker" August 22, 2023 5.0 Benefits of a clearer history on tasks done in the past - so i can remember when i did certain tasks Pros The ability to keep on top of project time allocation and their tasks. Cons Would like a complete visual when logging time of the percentage of time that project has been allocated and the percentage of the allocation you're taking away when logging Review Source Ruth M. Metal Sheet Fabricator Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Achieve an equitable and sustainable resource management with Float. " October 30, 2023 5.0 Float enlightened us on how to have better planning and resources allocations. It allows us to first understand what is available to use and with such information, it becomes easy to plan our work based on what we have and what we are capable of. It allows us to institute responsibility among ourselves since it easy to know who is allocated to which job. Pros Float excellent resources management features helps us to bring together everyone and everything in the organization under one central point and this allows us to plan our projects effectively and allocate duties based on ones capabilities. It has useful dashboards which keeps us updated on the project time and budget expenditure in real time. Cons Working with Float has always been simple for me and i have no dislikes. Review Source AM Anurag M. Research Manager Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Float - Web Friendly Time Table" September 5, 2023 5.0 Overall, I really liked float and I would recommend it to other companies. Pros I really like using float for the first time in my 7 years of professional career as it helped me to move me from sticky notes to the web version of a kind of time table that I used to create for my day to day tasks. Its feature of scheduling has also helped my manager to have the right visibility of my work time as a result of which he has kept our work management balanced. Cons I have not used it ever on mobile phone and have listened my friends complaining about its GUI (Graphic User Interface) limitation on mobile phones as compared to other apps. So, I think mobile users needs to have better features as well similar to web users. Review Source Stren P. Design Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform for staffing and management" August 31, 2023 4.0 A good platform to manage: who, what and when. Float has maintained the visual people focus I love about the original product. Integrates well with our data compliance and avoids budget/client confidential data which will need to stay on our intranet. Presentation mode and time split functions are areas to grow functionality. Pros Intuitive and easy to use, focus on work schedule not project budget. Cons Updates are not always realtime forced page reloads required which can be troublesome for the team.

It is also a solution that can be adapted to companies without problems. Pros I like float because it allows business resources to be planned, it is a system that allows a customizable work structure so it can be easily established in companies without being complicated and with the ability to create reports quickly and accurately, it is also collaborative so professionals can also work in teams Cons I have no problems with this tool, it is a solution that helps to manage projects in a strategic and fast functional way, it has been helpful in my organization Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Talent Allocation Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cool managment tool" August 22, 2023 4.0 Convenient platform, pleasant interface, available buttons for various purposes Pros The ability to conveniently plan hours on projects and set milestones, the ability to create sub-departments Cons That you need to separate the schedules in order to mix the number of hours on a specific daySometimes the information is not displayed immediately when you check the reportsYou can improve the system with data exports, namely, convert the CSV file into an Excel file Review Source EE Eric E. training manager Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Need to track people resources, this is the tool you need." December 17, 2021 4.0 Overall, I really like Float. It is really easy to use. It is very customizable. Pros It's straightforward to add, archive, and customize your space. I love that you can give people various accesses. I love that I can look at a glance and see where everyone is at. In the last week or so, Float did a significant upgrade, and visually it's so much better. Cons Float can be a bit slow sometimes. I don't know if it's because it needs more bandwidth or what, but you need to be patient with it some days. Review Source MS Mackenzie S. Director Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great employee scheduling/management tool" August 30, 2023 4.0 Pros I like that float allows me to track what my team is working on and when, as well as schedule them on new tasks easily and quickly as needed. It is also a great tool for ensuring your team isn't overburdened on any given day. Cons I find scheduling different hours on the same project in a week (or longer) can be tedious so I usually just end up splitting the hours equally across the week (or longer). So it's a rough outline of what projects I/my team are working on, but it isn't exact.
