The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
Float
Strengths
- Drag-and-drop scheduling
- Capacity forecasting and utilization
- Built-in time tracking and budgets
Limitations
- Scheduling-first, lighter financials than a full PSA
- No native invoicing
Runn
Strengths
- Saved scenarios let an alternative plan be modelled without touching the live one
- Rate cards and budgets tie staffing decisions to cost, revenue and margin
- Wide integration list across HR systems, time trackers and automation tools
- Clean interface
Limitations
- Forecast-first, day-to-day scheduling feels secondary
- No free plan; billing is per resource seat, so people who are planned but never log in still cost a seat
- Timesheets, integrations and the API need the Standard plan or higher
- Custom dashboards, workstreams, SAML SSO and SmartMatch AI are Advanced only, and Advanced is quote-only

How we check reviews
Before sending, the author has to confirm three things: that they have used the product themselves, that they work neither for the vendor nor for a competitor, and that nobody is paying them for the review. We also ask whether the vendor invited them to write it. That answer is required, either answer is accepted, and it stays with the review.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. An email address is required and is confirmed: we send a link to it, and a review does not reach us until the author opens that link, so a review has a sender who was reachable at least once rather than being anonymous. Where what somebody writes needs backing, we ask them for evidence that they used the product, and a review that does not get it is not published. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on their own declaration, on whatever we ask them for, and on the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot buy a review, and cannot have one removed or changed because they dislike it. We remove or edit a review only if it breaks our rules or the law, for example a false statement of fact. Paid placement has no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
