Fibery vs Float
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fibery and Float — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fibery vs Float: at a glance
What is Fibery?
Fibery moves AI Connectors to free beta two weeks after preview, with MCP creation on the way.
Fibery's October 29 release moves AI Connectors from experimental to beta and calls them ready for general use. They are free for now, and Fibery says moderate usage may stay free, with a pricing decision due by year end. The release also adds a block menu and multi-block selection in rich text, per-screen URLs for Custom Apps, tab moves between desktop windows, and Fibery whiteboards in ChatGPT through the MCP server.
What is Float?
Float is moving from who's-free scheduling toward staffing on experience and pricing on rate cards.
Float's 2026 releases add commercial and intelligence layers on top of its core scheduler: multi-currency rate cards, a Rates tab, and AI experience profiles that surface who has done similar work before. API and Zapier coverage for project templates and rate cards keeps those layers open to automation. The October releases are scheduler polish: clearer role display, then calendar event statuses, faster allocation entry and project update improvements.
Fibery vs Float: editorial side-by-side
Fibery
7.5PM
Fibery moves AI Connectors to free beta two weeks after preview, with MCP creation on the way.
◆ Current state
Fibery's October 29 release moves AI Connectors from experimental to beta and calls them ready for general use. They are free for now, and Fibery says moderate usage may stay free, with a pricing decision due by year end. The release also adds a block menu and multi-block selection in rich text, per-screen URLs for Custom Apps, tab moves between desktop windows, and Fibery whiteboards in ChatGPT through the MCP server.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery is making AI the main builder and operator of the workspace: the agent, Custom Apps, AI-generated connectors and an MCP server that now handles code execution, files and whiteboards. Features are moving from preview to general use within weeks, and the weekly cadence alternates big AI releases with quality-of-life updates.
◆ Prediction
Fibery says MCP support for creating AI Connectors is coming, so expect that next. Connector pricing should settle by year end, most likely around sync frequency, since it names 5-15 minute syncs as the case that could change costs.
Float
5.0PM
Float is moving from who's-free scheduling toward staffing on experience and pricing on rate cards.
◆ Current state
Float's 2026 releases add commercial and intelligence layers on top of its core scheduler: multi-currency rate cards, a Rates tab, and AI experience profiles that surface who has done similar work before. API and Zapier coverage for project templates and rate cards keeps those layers open to automation. The October releases are scheduler polish: clearer role display, then calendar event statuses, faster allocation entry and project update improvements.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is reaching from resource availability into project economics and staffing judgment. Rates, roles and experience data are becoming first-class objects, while October's work tightens the daily scheduling loop that those layers sit on.
◆ Prediction
Expect role- and rate-aware forecasting next, such as budget or margin projections tied to the roles assigned in a plan. The entries show the data model forming but not yet the forecasting output.
