Float
Best for Agencies that schedule people and want capacity viewsFloat is a visual scheduler built around a drag and drop board that shows who is booked, who is free and who is overloaded, with capacity views that stretch across weeks and months. Starter costs $7 per scheduled person per month billed annually, or $8.50 billed monthly, and includes capacity management, forecasting, project planning and time off. Pro costs $12 and adds time tracking, rate cards and single sign on. Guests who only view the schedule cost nothing.
The capacity view is the reason Float leads for people planning, because planned hours sit against capacity and overloads show before the week starts. The limits are clear: Float books people, not rooms or gear, so a team that also manages meeting rooms needs a second tool, and time tracking sits on Pro. For a team whose booking problem is people, Float is the cleanest scheduler here.
Price: $7 per scheduled person/month (billed annually)
Free plan: Free trial (30 days)
