Once I enter a task, I am forever stuck in some pop-up and I have to clear my entire browser history to escape.

Chief information officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A powerful resource management, planning, and scheduling software" February 19, 2024 4.0 Extremely educational, easy to use even for a first time user Pros Forecasting Budgets: Accurate resource planning is essential for budgeting. Float helps you manage capacity, plan projects, and forecast budgets effectively. It’s like having a financial advisor for your project resource. Cons As a Software there is no free version or trial version that do not require you to enter your banking detail Alternatives considered [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/)[ProProfs Training Maker](https://www.capterra.com/p/127291/ProProfs-Training-Maker/)[Paymo](https://www.capterra.com/p/137033/Paymo/) Reason for choosing Float It seems user friendly it has easy to use tools Switched from [Paymo](https://www.capterra.com/p/137033/Paymo/)[ProProfs Project](https://www.capterra.com/p/155619/ProProfs-Project/) I was trying to check all software that deals with project management Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder and Freelancer Graphic Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good, but not for me." January 12, 2026 4.0 After trying out the free trial, I went with another platform that was better suited to my needs. Float looks great, it just wasn't the right fit for me. Pros As a freelancer, I liked how clearly Float visualizes time and availability. It’s easy to block out client work, personal time, capacity, juggling multiple projects etc. Cons Float is clearly built with teams and agencies in mind. Many of the resource and capacity features felt unnecessary for a solo workflow and I didn’t need a dedicated tool just for scheduling. Alternatives considered [Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/)[monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/)[Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Reason for choosing Float I actually chose Basecamp over Flot, simply because it was better suited to my needs as a freelancer. Review Source 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.)

It's good value for the price it offers and it's very intuitive and flexible. Switched from [monday.com](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 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 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. 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! 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! 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 AP Aakash P. Accessibility Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and understand" August 20, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use and understand. The new introduction of a mobile app has been great as you can now see your schedule wherever you are. The notifications system is good and allows you to be notified of changes immediately. Cons Our business allows multiple consultants to be assigned to specific work. In Float, you are unable to easily find other consultants working on the same project as you are without manually searching for it. Switched from [Resource Guru](https://www.capterra.com/p/134429/Resource-Guru/) Resource Guru unfortunately did not meet all our time management/scheduling needs Review Source PM Preben M. Senior Advisor International Trade and Development Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly adaptive software which blends quickly and easily with most tools."

It gives the user a choice to apply several tactics and features to enable best working for this tool. Project management is now a renowned process which I take pride in. Editing is easy and makes using the software friendly for beginners and new members. The free trial is something to take celebrate. Cons Absolutely satisfying. I have no cons for Float. It has played it's role so perfectly. Switched from [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Float has a salivating free trial session that gives the best exposure before purchase.

Compared to other programs I have used at other jobs, this one is very efficient. The process is streamlined end to end. Pros Float is easy to use and navigate. This program is very user friendly and can be taught to any employee. Cons I have nothing negative to say about Float. Possibly, they could do some sort of update to speed up loading time. 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 AL Adriana L. UX/UI designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Float for a UX/UI designer in a small companyi" August 30, 2023 5.0 Pros \- The feature I liked most about Float is its intuitive employee scheduling interface. 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.

July 2, 2024 5.0 It has been a very productive experience. Float provides us with an amazing platform that help us schedule and plan our team tasks based on our resources availability. It allows us to assign tasks amongst ourselves and schedule task timelines to keep check on time. Pros Float has the best to use work scheduling tools that assist us to allocate tasks and create work schedules easily. It has an very user-friendly interface which allows us to comfortably make use of all the available functions. Float time tracking features keeps us always on the lookout on the time we are spending performing each tasks.

System Specialist E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Keep Your Business Afloat" February 19, 2023 5.0 Overall, I would recommend Float as a useful tool for managing cash flow and making financial decisions. Its intuitive interface, powerful scenario feature, and the ability to link to existing accounting software make it a helpful addition to any business’s financial toolkit. However, the cost may be a barrier for some businesses, so it’s important to carefully evaluate the pricing plans before committing to the software. Pros Float is a cloud-based cash flow forecasting and management software designed for small and medium-sized businesses. As a user of Float, I find the software to be a helpful tool for managing cash flow and making financial decisions. One of the primary benefits of using Float is the ability to visualize future cash flow, which is useful for planning and forecasting. One of the key advantages of Float is its intuitive interface, which makes it easy to use and navigate. The software allows you to link to your existing accounting software, which means that data can be automatically imported into Float. This saves a lot of time and reduces the chance of errors, which is particularly important when dealing with financial data. Another benefit of Float is the ability to create multiple scenarios, which can be used to model different financial outcomes. Cons One of the potential downsides of using Float is that the software can be expensive, particularly for small businesses. The pricing plans are based on the number of cash flow forecasts that you need to create, and this can add up quickly. Review Source SB Shriya B. Senior Innovation Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for " August 31, 2023 5.0 Pros How visual and easy it makes talent scheduling for our client services business! It's really intuitive in terms of its UX/UI and means that the information is shareable and understandable by everyone. It's actually created positive reliance for the business where it's become the single source of truth about who is working on which project/ away on hols and for how long, so that teams can effectively plan the best use of people. Especially as we work on multiple projects under the same client account, the tags are super useful as while we might be working for Client X, project A and project C might have completely different briefs and people scheduled on them to complete. Cons Probably some of the toggling features when you try to filter people across multiple departments.. It's not a massive issue, but one I am struggling to nail.

Pros One of the things I like best about Float resource management tool is that it allows you to centralize your people and project data. This means that you can easily see the availability, workload, and skills of your team members, as well as the status, budget, and timeline of your projects Cons A few points on which float needs to work:- It has few API integrations that work- It has limited reporting and forecasting features or maybe I need to look into it myself.

Resource Manager Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy Resource Management Tool" June 27, 2022 5.0 Pros Our mid-size organization loves Float for an easy-to-use depiction of future capacity. Managers like the ability to change their direct reports' assignments quickly, and folks enjoy referring to Float to fill out their own time sheets in our finance system. Cons Multiple Float environments can't be combined nor can SSO be implemented for an organization that has multiple Float environments (without having to choose just one URL). Also, support tickets can linger and it takes a long time to get a direct question answered effectively. Review Source Response from Pixel Paddock July 1, 2022 Thank you for your review, Joseph! Happy to hear you're able to manage capacity across your organization with Float. Thanks for your feedback on support tickets and implementing SSO. We'll pass that along to the team. SC Suhas C.

It is the one place i can go to to keep an eye on the projects that my team is working on, and to see what the next 6-8 weeks looks like for my team and assign work/projects accordingly. Pros I work in consulting and manage a team of 6 consultants. I find Float really useful to be able to manage scheduling for my team as well as forward plan based on upcoming work and team availability. I also work with a wider team and need to be across what other projects are happening and where my wider team might have upcoming availability that I might be able to use for my upcoming projects. I can use tags to be able to filter based on my preference, i find this feature extremely helpful. Cons I can't really think of any. It works as it should for my needs. It has an intuitive user interface and super easy to use. 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.

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.
