Used For

• +**You're playing scheduling Tetris across 12 projects every Monday morning** → Drag-and-drop everyone's time, see conflicts instantly, fix it in 5 minutes
• +**Projects finish 40% over budget and nobody knows why** → Set hourly budgets upfront, get alerts when you're burning through cash too fast
• +**Half your team is drowning while others scroll Twitter** → See everyone's capacity in real-time, balance workloads before people quit
• +Draft mode for testing timelines - plan the impossible project before promising the client it's doable
• +Role-based rates so your senior developer's time costs more than the intern's

Best For

• >Your creative team is constantly overbooked while half the developers sit idle
• >You keep winning projects then realizing you don't have people to deliver them
• >Projects go 50% over budget and you find out when the client gets angry

Not For

• -Solo freelancers or teams under 10 people — you're paying for resource conflicts you don't have
• -Companies that bill fixed-price projects — the hourly tracking features won't help
• -Teams wanting simple task management — this is scheduling complexity, not to-do lists

Pairs With

• *Asana (for the actual task management that Float doesn't really do)
• *Slack (where people complain about their new assignments and beg for deadline extensions)
• *QuickBooks (to see if your profitable projects on Float actually made money in reality)
• *Harvest (for time tracking since people need to log hours somewhere)
• *Monday.com (another project tool combo since Float focuses on scheduling over everything else)

The Catch

• !No pricing listed anywhere, which usually means "if you have to ask, you can't afford it"
• !You'll need someone to actually manage this thing - resource planning doesn't happen automatically
• !Works best when paired with other project tools since it's focused on people, not tasks

Bottom Line

The tool agencies use to avoid scheduling disasters and unprofitable projects.
