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.“ February 21, 2026 BL Byron L Software DeveloperComputer Software, 51 - 200 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “The mobile version of this application is completely ridiculous. Once I enter a task, I am forever stuck in some pop-up and I have to clear my entire browser history to escape. If I use the Google calendar feature to connect this application to my own calendar, I am unable to adjust the meeting times.“ April 17, 2026 Danny C agentInsurance, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: 6-12 months. “The visual layout and real-time updates help keep everything organized and transparent, which is especially useful when juggling multiple projects or shifting priorities.“ April 22, 2026 Danny C agentInsurance, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: 6-12 months. “One drawback of Float is that, while the interface is clean and easy to use, it can feel a bit limited when you need more detailed reporting or deeper customization. If you’re looking for highly granular analytics or advanced filtering, the built-in tools may not go as far as you’d like.“ April 22, 2026 Beatrice K Marketing SpecialistEnvironmental Services, 51 - 200 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “I love the ease, layout, design, colors, and capabilities to schedule and block time for myself and others.“ April 30, 2026 Claire B Founder and FreelancerGraphic Design, Self-employedUsed the software for: I used a free trial. “Many of the resource and capacity features felt unnecessary for a solo workflow and I didn’t need a dedicated tool just for scheduling.“ January 12, 2026 MN Muna N StudentCosmetics, Self-employedUsed the software for: I used a free trial. “The app makes tracking spending and company cards simple and fast.“ May 25, 2026 KC Kenneth C Vice PresidentInformation Technology and Services, 11 - 50 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “Board members like the visual reports, however, honestly they are clueless about what half the features do anyway.“ August 24, 2026 ## Showing most helpful reviews Showing 1-25 of 1621 Reviews Sort by: Most Helpful Rating Company Size Reviewer's Role Length of Use Frequency of Use Remek R.

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. 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! LP Laura P. Production Coordinator Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great value. 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.) Alternatives considered [monday AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Reason for choosing Float Its the closes to CETA software that we could find. It's good value for the price it offers and it's very intuitive and flexible. Switched from [monday 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 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 Pauline I. Delivery Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good ressource management software" June 21, 2022 4.0 Pros It's a good software for scheduling people's time on projects, seeing at a glance who is available and when, and who is working on each project. We can easily categorise people into teams, roles etc and then do quick searches. It's also really easy for every employee to log their time spent on projects so that we know what to invoice to clients. Cons It's not great for managing the budget of a project: the reports are really limited so you have to do a csv export if you want to do in depth analysis. Switched from [Tempo Loop](https://www.capterra.com/p/190126/Tempo/) With Tempo it was really difficult to see the current availabilities in the team and to schedule people's allocation on a future project. Review Source Response from Pixel Paddock July 1, 2022 Thanks for your review, Pauline! Great to hear that Float is increasing visibility of who's doing what and when on your team! Kenneth Krogh R. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Float - Nice tool for team management" February 18, 2021 5.0 Pros It is a very visual tool, I love the timeline graph where you can easily filter down the resources on both person and project tags. Cons It is rather simple and I would like some more options for tailoring the product to our specific needs, like setting monthly cost limits and including more visual options on each project. Switched from [Forecast](https://www.capterra.com/p/138122/Forecast-it/) To gain access to more functionality while still being centered around the timeline view Review Source WR Will R. Sr HR Operations Specialist Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Float Review" May 1, 2026 4.0 Overall, it’s been a positive experience. It’s great for resource planning and easy to use, but could use more advanced features for reporting and analytics. Pros I like how clean and easy the interface is. It makes scheduling and managing resources really straightforward. Cons It can be a bit limited with reporting and deeper project tracking features. Sometimes it is hard to get what I need. Review Source NN Nabil N. IT Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Clean resource planning tool that teams actually understand" May 4, 2026 5.0 Float does resource scheduling well without overcomplicating it. If your main pain point is visibility into team capacity and workload distribution, it solves that problem cleanly. Not a full project management replacement but a solid complement to whatever else you're running. Pros The visual timeline makes it easy to see who's working on what at a glance. Scheduling and capacity planning are intuitive and it doesn't take long for team leads to get comfortable with it. Good for keeping projects from stepping on each other. Cons Time tracking side is more limited than expected and reporting options could be deeper. Integrations with other tools work but feel a bit basic. 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 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. 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 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. 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 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 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 KM Klara M. Senior Account Executive - Designer Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Makes capacity juggling so much easier" August 22, 2023 5.0 Pros The tool has a simple overview, visually similar to already known calendars. This means that you don't need any time to familiarize yourself with it. Just click and add entries.If you work with many different customers, you can create them once and then easily add individual projects within these customer folders.I especially like the fact that I can tell my clients apart right at first glance using the Color Coding feature. But when I need more information, I can also click on the entries and have access to the job number, the available budget, and any other information that might be available.Thanks Float - you make my daily work so much easier :-) Cons What could be improved:Currently, when I enter vacation, my projects in the same time frame just disappear from the schedule. This is quite inconvenient and should be fixed. It would be more practical to at least be warned and transfer the projects individually to someone else from the team, or be able to specify vacation substitutions so that the projects are automatically transferred.Also, it would be great if you could duplicate blockers via copy & paste. The split tool is often a bit impractical to use. 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 Design Engineer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Float simplifies project management with its intuitive interface.

Project Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An easy to use resource management tool " September 5, 2023 5.0 It gives a good helicopter view for me and my team of the ongoing projects, up and coming projects as well as the capacity of each individual team member. Using the different colours also gives a good overview of the types of work that is going on. Pros I like the idea of being able to colour code tasks, assign tasks to an email and define time requirements as well as project details within a task. I also really enjoy the reporting side of things. Cons I would like it if Float offered the ability to change the title of some of the input box titles. For example, where it says "Project" I would like to be able to edit that to my own title. Reason for choosing Float Easy to use and connects to Asana Review Source Marcos A. Producer Furniture Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Producer POV" August 29, 2023 5.0 Great! For basic processes I think is a great tool to allocate time to users, I would like the ability to tag people and comment on specific tasks. Pros Very clear and simple to use, it is easy for everyone to understand and it doesn't have too many features that makes it complicated. Cons You can't create new projects on the mobile app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of Creative Services Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must have for all manager" August 30, 2023 5.0 very positive Pros Float makes managing a team's workload easier.
