How to Decide
Float is a resource scheduling and capacity planning software used by agencies, consultancies, and studios to manage team capacity across multiple projects. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Toggl Plan leans on a free tier for freelancers and solo users; worklenz is distinguished by its open‑source AGPL‑3.0 license and self‑hostable community edition; Teamwork.com emphasizes AI‑powered smart scheduling for resource allocation.
When comparing alternatives to Float, focus on (1) pricing structure – Float’s paid subscription versus Toggl Plan’s freemium model, worklenz’s free open‑source option, and Teamwork.com’s paid tier; (2) deployment model – Float and Teamwork.com are cloud‑SaaS while worklenz can be self‑hosted; (3) automation level – Float offers AI‑assisted staffing recommendations, whereas Teamwork.com adds AI‑driven smart scheduling and the others rely on manual drag‑and‑drop; (4) licensing openness – worklenz’s AGPL‑3.0 open‑source code contrasts with the proprietary nature of Float, Toggl Plan, and Teamwork.com; and (5) integration ecosystem – Float provides Zapier and HR/financial connectors, while Teamwork.com lists 150+ native integrations and the others have more limited or Zapier‑based connections.
