Float is a good scheduler with a timesheet problem. Planned hours go in beautifully; actual hours depend on people filling in timesheets, which means your burn reports are built on estimates. A 200-person creative agency moved off Float timesheets to Rize in 2026 for exactly this reason — they needed burn by department, not another reminder to log time. Rize captures actual hours automatically in the background, so the scheduled-vs-actual gap is measured with real data. Keep Float for scheduling if you want it — Rize pairs alongside it, or replaces the timesheet side entirely. Float's Pro plan (with time tracking) is $12/scheduled person/month billed annually; Rize teams start at $29.99/seat/month.
