ToDoing vs Float: one system for the plan and the schedule

Every Monday, someone on your team opens two tabs: the task tool that knows what needs doing, and the schedule that knows who has time to do it. Keeping them in agreement is a job. Float is the best-known version of that second tab, a resource scheduler agencies genuinely rate: every person on a timeline, bookings set against capacity, utilisation reporting an ops lead can take to a board meeting, and syncs that pull projects in from Asana, Jira, Trello or Teamwork. This page is for teams of 3 to 15 asking whether they need the second tab at all.

ToDoing is a work planner built on a smaller idea: the task is the allocation, so the plan and the schedule are one thing.

The short version

Choose Float if you run a larger agency and the schedule must sit beside a task tool you have no intention of leaving. Its capacity and utilisation reporting is the real thing, its syncs keep the schedule current without a human retyping it, and it has native mobile apps. It is the better scheduler.

Choose ToDoing if your team is 3 to 15 people and you would rather run one system than reconcile two. Each task lives on a person and a day, so assigning the work and scheduling the work are the same drag. Five people cost $10 a month.

Where Float is genuinely better

Nobody should pretend otherwise. Float reports capacity and utilisation properly: capacity and utilisation, the numbers an operations lead relies on when the agency is 40 people and hiring decisions hang on them. It syncs with the task tools bigger teams already run, so the schedule updates itself instead of waiting for someone to copy things across. It ships native mobile apps, and its higher plan folds time tracking into the same schedule. If your work must live in Asana or Jira and you need a serious scheduling layer on top, Float is that layer, and it is mature at it.

Where ToDoing is better for a small team

The two-tab setup has a hidden employee: whoever keeps the schedule and the task tool telling the same story. At 40 people that is a producer's job and worth paying for. At eight people it is Tuesday-evening admin that quietly stops happening, and then the schedule lies. ToDoing removes the reconciliation because there is nothing to reconcile. A task lives on a person and a day. Move it and the schedule has already changed, because the personal planner and the team grid are the same data seen two ways, and they cannot drift apart.

The team's week sits on one grid, rows by person or by project, with milestones on the same calendar as the tasks, so a slipping deadline shows up days early rather than in the retrospective. Leave and public holidays shade that same grid, booked and approved inside the same tool, which means nobody schedules work onto a day off. Edits reach everyone in under a second.

Then there is the price. At the time of writing, July 2026, five people on Float's entry plan cost about $37.50 a month, and about $62.50 once time tracking joins. The same five on ToDoing Pro cost $10 a month.

Switching

There is no import wizard, and moving a resource schedule rarely needs one. Bring next week, not the archive. Create your projects, place the week's tasks on people and days, and set the milestones you actually mean to hit. If Float was syncing from a task tool, that tool still holds your history, so nothing forces a migration weekend. Plan the week, not the backlog sets out the thinking behind planning a week instead of a backlog.

Three questions people ask

Is ToDoing a good Float alternative?

For a small team, yes, with one condition. ToDoing replaces the task tool as well as the schedule. If your work must stay in Asana or Jira, Float remains the better fit, because scheduling beside those tools is exactly what it was built to do. If you are 3 to 15 people and open to running one system, ToDoing gives you the plan and the schedule in one place from $2 per person per month.

Can ToDoing do capacity planning like Float?

Partly. You can see every person's week and month on one grid and drag work to whoever has room, which is the capacity question most small teams are actually asking. ToDoing produces no utilisation percentages or billable forecasts. If those reports decide your hiring or your rates, Float earns its price, and a booking-led option at that size is Resource Guru.

Does ToDoing have a free plan?

Yes: 3 people and 3 projects, free for as long as that fits, and every new workspace starts with 14 days of the full Enterprise feature set. It doesn't ask for a card.
