Compare ActiveCollab vs Float

This solution is marketing planning done right. ActiveCollab is a cloud-based solution with subscription plans starting at $11 per month for three users. The feature allowing users to split tasks into sub-tasks is a valuable one in our eyes, and allows users to breakdown larger more complex projects into manageable chunks. By collaborating and setting dependencies between asks, there’s a better chance of reaching completion goals.
ActiveCollab has strong task filter options, more than we’ve seen on other solutions, and these include assigned users, custom labels or due dates. There is also automatic rescheduling for changes to be made to the main task. And, all tasks can be viewed in a timeline, including Kanban board, calendar, or list accommodating to each user’s preference. Catering to more visual users, we think ActiveCollab is a great platform for improved communication between teams, ideal for creative industries.

A fully collaborative resource management software, Float offers real-time project planning and scheduling. There are several features we particularly like. These include the drag-and-drop features, editing tools, keyboard shortcuts, and an overall intuitive interface, which makes starting on Float a breeze. Additionally, we found the team availability management option a great tool for planning projects based on user capacity. It allows individuals to set work hours, time off, and where and when the user is working for increased transparency.
At just $6 per user, with unlimited projects, Float is a great budget option for small to mid-sized teams. Float offers a range of reporting tools, all designed to track team utilization and inform business decisions. There are excellent search features in Float as well, so users can search for people, projects, tags, and so on. Additionally, with managers able to check project progress alongside scheduled hours versus logged hours, projects can be checked for meeting deadlines and budgets efficiently, allowing early identification of weak areas. As such, for businesses looking to improve their budgeting and financials, Float is an ideal solution for providing budget forecasts and resource allocation.
