Float
What it is
Float is resource planning software that gives teams a live view of assignments, availability, utilization, delivery, and project margins. It shows team availability, roles, and experience to support capacity planning. Teams can set project price, budget, roles, and timeline baselines, with AI-assisted staffing available. Reports cover capacity, utilization, actuals, margin, and budget burn. Starter includes resource scheduling, capacity and time-off management, project scoping, and API and integrations access. Pro adds time tracking, AI people experience profiles, multi-currency client rate cards, project cost estimation, advanced reporting, SSO, and domain restrictions. Starter costs $7 a month and Pro costs $12 a month, billed per scheduled person per month. Float offers a free 30-day Pro trial without a credit card and says trial data remains intact afterward. Its iOS and Android apps support schedule checks, time-off requests, and hour logging. Float describes its customers as agencies, professional services firms, and in-house delivery teams.
