Float vs My Hours
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Float and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Float vs My Hours: at a glance
What is Float?
Float adds AI experience profiles and multi-currency rate cards — expanding from scheduling into project economics.
Float is a resource scheduling and time-tracking platform for agencies and professional services teams, shipping roughly every 2–3 weeks. The last 90 days show two substantive sparks: AI-powered experience profiles that surface who on the team has done similar work before, and multi-currency rate cards that bring consistent billing across clients and regions. Supporting releases added a dedicated Rates tab, Zapier project templates, people codes, and new API endpoints for project templates and rate cards.
What is My Hours?
My Hours ships MCP support for Claude — time logging and timesheet retrieval are now conversational operations.
My Hours added MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration as a Claude connector, enabling Claude to log time, retrieve timesheets, and look up projects and tasks without leaving the conversation. Surrounding releases are substantive: breaks tracking with unpaid time support across reports, bulk edit on the Basic tier, per-client invoice notes, PO reference fields, task budget alerts, and a dedicated Attendance report showing target vs. actual hours. The product is actively expanding across invoicing, reporting, and the time-capture surface simultaneously.
Float vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side
Float
6.3PM
Float adds AI experience profiles and multi-currency rate cards — expanding from scheduling into project economics.
◆ Current state
Float is a resource scheduling and time-tracking platform for agencies and professional services teams, shipping roughly every 2–3 weeks. The last 90 days show two substantive sparks: AI-powered experience profiles that surface who on the team has done similar work before, and multi-currency rate cards that bring consistent billing across clients and regions. Supporting releases added a dedicated Rates tab, Zapier project templates, people codes, and new API endpoints for project templates and rate cards.
◆ Where it's heading
Float is building the financial layer of resource management — rate cards, multi-currency support, and a Rates tab form a coherent billing workflow that didn't exist six months ago. In parallel, AI experience profiles signal entry into talent-matching territory: the product can now answer 'who has done this type of work before' rather than just 'who is available.' These two vectors together position Float as a project economics tool, not just a scheduling view. The API expansion follows the financial features, suggesting partner and integration investment.
◆ Prediction
The most likely next move is connecting AI experience profiles directly into project assignment — auto-suggesting matches during scheduling based on past work. On the billing side, rate card data likely feeds a revenue or margin reporting view as the next logical release.
My Hours
6.3PM
My Hours ships MCP support for Claude — time logging and timesheet retrieval are now conversational operations.
◆ Current state
My Hours added MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration as a Claude connector, enabling Claude to log time, retrieve timesheets, and look up projects and tasks without leaving the conversation. Surrounding releases are substantive: breaks tracking with unpaid time support across reports, bulk edit on the Basic tier, per-client invoice notes, PO reference fields, task budget alerts, and a dedicated Attendance report showing target vs. actual hours. The product is actively expanding across invoicing, reporting, and the time-capture surface simultaneously.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP integration is the first agentic surface My Hours has shipped, moving the product from passive time-capture to a tool that can participate in assistant-driven workflows. The invoice and budget improvements suggest My Hours is expanding upward in the billing workflow — from pure time capture toward lightweight project billing. Combined with the MCP layer, there is a plausible path toward automated timesheet nudges, budget monitoring, and task completion tracking through AI assistants.
◆ Prediction
The next moves are likely deeper agentic integrations — Slack or Microsoft Teams time-logging through the MCP server — or assistant-driven timesheet reminder flows. Budget alerting will likely expand from task-level to project-level thresholds.
