TL;DR

Float does one thing and does it exceptionally well: resource scheduling. The drag-and-drop interface shows your entire team's capacity at a glance. At $6-15/person/month, it's priced for teams that need dedicated resource management without paying for a full PM suite. Over 4,500 teams use it, including agencies and product teams that need visual clarity on capacity.

What is Float?

Resource Scheduling Done Right

Float strips away the bloat that plagues most PM tools. No task management. No document collaboration. No chat features. Just a beautiful, color-coded schedule showing every person, every project, and every available hour. Drag to assign. Drag to reschedule. The simplicity is the entire point.

Capacity Planning Without the Headaches

The schedule view shows available hours vs. allocated hours for every team member. Spot who's overbooked and who has slack time in seconds, not minutes. Set different work hours per person (part-timers, different time zones), mark holidays and PTO, and watch the capacity numbers update instantly. I've watched teams cut their Monday planning meetings from an hour to 15 minutes after switching to Float.

Time Tracking That Feeds Back

Float added time tracking that compares logged hours against scheduled hours. The gap between planned and actual is where projects go sideways, and Float makes that gap visible. Timesheets are simple — start/stop timers or log hours manually.

What Float Won't Do

It's not a project management tool. There's no Gantt chart, no task dependencies, no sprint planning. You'll still need Asana, Jira, or whatever else your team runs for actual project execution. Float is the layer on top that answers "who's available and when?" — nothing more, nothing less.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Shows team capacity at a glance without digging through menus
  • Affordable at $6-15/person compared to full PM suites
  • Time tracking closes the loop between planned and actual hours

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Float is a resource scheduling and capacity planning tool. It shows who's available, what they're working on, and when they have free time. You'll still need a PM tool like Asana, Jira, or Basecamp for actual project execution, task management, and collaboration.

Float starts at $6/person/month (Starter), $10/person/month (Pro with time tracking), and $15/person/month (Enterprise with SSO). Annual billing is available. A 14-day free trial lets you test before committing.
