Float.com Reviews & Product Details

Float.com has the right level of features for us without feeling overloaded. I find it easy to use and intuitive. Support has been easy to contact, and I’ve gotten answers quickly. The different colors make it easy to scan, and filtering bookings by project is really easy. Booking a few days takes just a few clicks. I can quickly see gaps in the schedule and fill them, move time around, and connect people’s bookings with reporting to keep on top of budgets. Setting up new projects or clients also feels intuitive, and I’d happily be an advocate for Float. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I filter by a project, the other bookings just show as gray, so I have to keep a second tab open to see what they are when I’m moving bookings around. I’m also not sure there’s an effective way to link tasks so that moving one adjusts the others, which means a project with lots of bookings can take a lot of tweaking. Splitting a booking to make room for a single day takes quite a few clicks, and I’d like Float.com to handle that more intuitively. In reporting, I’d like to set my default screen instead of changing the report view each time. I’m also told there isn’t an MCP connector to pull out Float.com’s data, and I think that would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Float.com is its intuitive interface and how easy it makes managing projects, schedules, and resources. It helps keep everything organized in one place, making collaboration and planning much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to navigate when managing multiple projects at once. Some features could be more intuitive, and having more customization options would make the overall experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Float.com to stay organized and track time on my tasks. I can see exactly how much time I dedicate to each client, which is helpful when I revise time allocation per project. It’s easy to manage and easy to work in a big team. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I connect Google Calendar, I’d like to choose which meetings correspond to which projects for multiple projects at once. Right now, I have to reload the calendar or upload every meeting and change the project for each one. It would be easier and save me time if I could integrate meetings for several projects at the same time, even 10 projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it easy to add tasks and the hours I spend on each one. I like the weekly and monthly view, being able to see what my colleagues can do and filter to see only what I can do. I also like being able to duplicate tasks with drag and drop. Float.com helps me get a better overview of the work I've done during the week, and also for my team and my manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, I found it a bit confusing, especially the part about allocating tasks. It confuses me to find each task and place it in its category, and it takes quite a while to figure out where that task should go, or sometimes I can't find it. I think it could be simplified.

Resource utilization planning and tracking was extremely clunky before we switched to Float. Since making the switch, it’s been instrumental in our growth as a company. Being able to schedule both human and machine resources seamlessly lets us plan not just weeks, but months ahead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float still has a few clunky aspects. For example, it isn’t very clean or intuitive to assign the same task to multiple resources while allowing each one to have a different duration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wished

- You could create custom fields as some tags are not very intuitive.

- Google calendar integration worked better. It becomes really messy whrn it appears in your schedule. It should be almost a separate window where you decide if you convert some of those events into timesheets but without overlapping your schedule or timesheets view

- There was a way to integrate hibob leave data and Float. We tried with zapier but didn't work. We manage leave in Hibob and it's pain to have to manually add to float.

- Integrations via zapier are quite limited in terms of triggers and actions.

- We can't use for budget management as we have a discount model and without the ability to apply this, our rates are not accurate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float helps me to see what I am scheduled on each week and what other people are working on as well, which makes it easier to plan out my weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpful thing about float would be that you cannot message people directly in the software. It would make it easier to communicate your schedule or questions if you could message people in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most about Float is how effortlessly it handles complex resource planning without feeling cluttered. The visual drag-and-drop interface makes capacity and workload balancing intuitive at a glance, allowing teams to prevent burnout and keep projects on track without the overhead of heavy, rigid management tools.

While Float excels at high-level visual scheduling, its reporting and custom analytics can feel a bit light for complex data needs. Teams looking for deep, highly customizable financial or performance metrics often have to export data to external tools to get the granular insights they need.

It is very user-friendly. I have used Float for 5 years at different jobs and saw the evolution of this software, and the focus they put on UI/UX. Also, it has a good statistics feature in the report tab, where it shows how many hours are left for a specific project to complete. I found that very useful for my jobs that have time limits, which allows me to plan my work time better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess that the design changed a few times drastically over the past few years, and it required some time to find the old features and get used to them, but that's also a good part, since the UI refinements made it better and easier to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is having a clear overview of the projects I’m involved in, timelines, and task allocation. As a UI/UX Designer, Float helps me quickly understand how my workload is distributed, plan design activities more effectively, and stay aligned with priorities and deadlines.

What I like less is that, in the way we currently use it, Float is mainly a tool for viewing project allocations. However, I feel it has greater potential, and some of its features could be better leveraged to support planning, work organization, and provide a more complete overview of activities.
