How we grade them
| 2.0GPAEpicflowFair | 2.4GPAFloatFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D€22.50 a user a month yearly for 20 to 50 users, so at least €450 a month, against a $9 middle. Enterprise is €45 a user from 50 users. | CStarter is $7 a scheduled person a month billed annually, $8.50 monthly, which lands mid-pack for project tools. You only pay for people you actually schedule, and onlookers join free as guests. But timesheets, cost estimates and SSO all sit on Pro at $12, well above what this category charges to start. |
| Free plan and trial | C30-day trial on your own project data for Growth; the card terms aren't stated, and there is no free plan. | CNo free plan. You get 30 days of Pro with no card asked for, and Float says it keeps your trial data for 6 months if you come back. After that it's pay or stop. |
| Features | CCapacity and load analysis, due date prediction, what-if and cost of delay. It does resource forecasting fully, but isn't a task or board tool. | CIt does its job fully: hours or percentages on projects, time off, holiday calendars, roles and skills, phases, budgets and utilization reports. That job is a smaller one than running projects, though, and timesheets, cost estimates and expenses are all Pro-only. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and it works from your own project data, which means setup. | B4.65 on the App Store from 433 ratings, not a big crowd behind it. Timesheets on Pro come prefilled from the schedule, so there's less typing. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Jira, Microsoft Project, Oracle Primavera and SAP links. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, and the download page lists no desktop app at all. Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Slack, Zapier and API access come on every plan; it's the desktop that's missing. |
| Best for | multi-project resource planning for larger teams | scheduling people across client projects |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
