resource management

If someone comes to you with a new project, can you confidently say that your team can take it on? Can you quickly assess how new projects fit into your portfolio and timelines?

The right resource management tool helps you answer these important questions—this type of software can empower you to optimize how work is assigned, scheduled, and tracked so you can plan projects reliably and efficiently.

As Float’s Director of Product, Michael Luchen, says, “Resource management tools help you track your organization vs capacity in a way that enables you to make better planning decisions. We want to help every organization plan their work time better—because time is too valuable to be planned poorly.” 🔥

So, if you want to take your project and resource planning to the next level, take a look at the shortlist of resource management software below to learn about:

If you set up your RMS properly—ensuring you map out your organization’s skills, projects, and task allocation—you’ll be able to manage costs well, reduce risks, and stay vigilant for employee burnout. This is key to building a healthy, thriving workforce and optimizing how your team’s time is spent.

3 types of resource management tools

There is a spectrum of tools available for managing resources. Here are the three types we’ve considered for this list:

Best-of-breed resource management software: Usually clean and intuitive type of software that’s specialized and intentionally designed for efficient work scheduling and resource allocation. It gives you a bird’s eye view into your people and projects, and enables you to see everyone’s capacity and manage workloads—in real time.
Enterprise work management platforms: These tools bundle resource management features into a more comprehensive (and often complex) work management platform. Resource management, because it is not their core offering, is often not prioritized on a competitive product roadmap.
All-in-one project management software: A suite of integrated and related products from one vendor. These tools offer some resource management functionality, among many other features. Without intentional design, these solutions rarely offer the best suite of features and user experience to plan and schedule work effectively.

We’ve evaluated tools that belong to all three types of resource management software based on six important criteria:

Planning features
Scheduling features
Time tracking features
Reporting features
Security and governance
Shipping signals

Now let’s go over the tools.

11 best resource management software and tools

1. Pure player resource management tools: Float, Runn, Resource Guru, Harvest Forecast, Toggl Plan

1. Float

🏢 Founded in: 2011

🎯 Primary software category : Resource management

Float (hello 👋) is the go-to resource management tool for professional teams of both medium- and large size (10 to 500+ people). Founded in 2011 with a team of 50+ people working async remote, Float has been a pioneer in building a dedicated resource management software solution—and has more than 2 million users worldwide across 4,500+ teams.

Float is the place where your project plans live. It helps teams plan better so that they can make the most of their time at work. Each project has its own set of challenges, so our Float team aims to help you understand the high-level picture first to help you set up your team for success. Our resource management software guides you through the early stages of setting up an accurate capacity management system to plan projects and allocate work confidently—before you get into the weeds of execution in your project management tool.

Unlike traditional resource management solutions that focus on the task scheduling stage of project work, Float offers a coordinated planning and scheduling process for teams that seek to be more strategic with their time.

Its intuitive visual interface brings all of your people and project data together so you can make better decisions, while also connecting a community of exceptional folks who are embracing a new, more meaningful approach to planning project work.

What resource management solutions does Float offer?

The Float team focuses on the high level of capacity planning and project scheduling, rather than the micro details of task management. Planning is about enabling real people to deliver great work. That’s why it’s important that everyone is kept in the loop of their scheduled work and that managers have a live status on the health of their people and projects.

So, Float brings clarity to the high-level planning process and, with a visual and intuitive interface, makes scheduling work effortless. With Float, you can:

Manage capacity with confidence. Manage availability on autopilot to get an always accurate view of allocated work and capacity. Set default work days and hours and customize these individually for any point in time. Import public holidays, one or two-way calendar sync, add time off policies, track leave balances, and set up manager access rights to approve who can schedule work and approve time off. Float gives you a single source of truth for your team’s time.
Plan deliberately. Workflows are intentionally designed to keep data accurate and teams in sync—so you can plan ahead and eliminate guesswork about resource availability or project progress. Set up your organizational hierarchy with flexible access rights for people and managers, add departments and sub-departments, and standardize roles and assigned rates for faster project estimates and planning.
Allocate resources effectively. Assign the best people for the job each time with a powerful search bar to filter by anything from skills and location to departments and availability and a new (coming soon) roles management section that will allow you to scenario plan project roles with rates. See utilization at a team and individual level directly on the Schedule to balance team workloads and keep everyone engaged.
Track time without hassle. Use pre-filled timesheets to prevent relying on memory and log actual hours spent on tasks, faster. Your actuals data lets you monitor project progress in real time, with bulk editing and shift timeline shortcuts making it easier to adjust your schedule on the go. You can then use this data to easily populate your invoice templates, streamline your admin tasks, and improve administrative efficiency.

What has Float shipped lately?

High-performing SaaS teams ship often, since consistent and regular product enhancements is key to delivering value to customers. Back in 2023, Float product improvements and new features focused on making project planning even more flexible and powerful. This included small but significant updates like separating people and projects into individual pages for faster navigation and adding the option to filter by time off type to get a clearer picture of your team’s availability.

Bigger product enhancements have been around helping teams better set up their data structure through organizational hierarchy and standardizing workflows. Float introduced sub-departments to allow for creating mini-teams within teams (e.g., adding content as a sub-department in the marketing department/team). There’s also a new saved custom views feature coming soon so that teams can easily access their saved favorite view each time they log in to Float. For example, if you’re a 30 people team working in a larger 100+ people organization, rather than filtering for your team each time you want to do something in Float, you’ll be able to log in and see your favorite view every time.

In 2024, Float’s team is working on some game-changing project estimation and planning capabilities and we have been releasing features designed to help teams establish better workflows for robust data capture. This includes making it easier to group related tasks by scheduling in allocations and the release of our highly anticipated desktop start/stop timer app in March 2024, so team members can record more accurate time logs for their assigned tasks. Another feature we already introduced is roles (replacing job titles) for people as part of upcoming features to assign default role rates and access roles data in your reports.

Justin West

Account Executive at A/B Partners

I work at a 40+ people organization and Float is the first resource management tool we’ve ever used. Because of that, we often don’t realize that a feature would be useful until we encounter a particular situation for the first time. I’m constantly dropping feature suggestions in Float’s Slack community—the Float team is always very transparent about which features are in the pipeline and follows up promptly for feedback on how we’d specifically like the feature to work. We love this responsiveness—it feels like we’re working with partners, not vendors. Can’t recommend them enough!

Who is Float best suited for?

Suited for:

⭐ Professional teams of 5 to 500+ people

⭐ Tech-savvy teams who prefer modern tools that increase efficiency and enable agile processes

⭐ Agencies and consulting firms such as digital studios, IT services, and engineering or architecture firms

⭐ In-house professional service teams, e.g., creative services, production, or L&D teams

Not suited for:

👎 Freelancers

👎 Individual consultants

👎 Roster or shift work teams

Emily Feliciano

Creative Resource Manager at Atlassian

After years in the industry (both in-house and agency) and using everything from excel spreadsheets to automated resourcing software, Float is effectively the most nimble and aesthetically appealing tool on the market. I work with creatives, so we need to look at data in a digestible way—Float makes it easy and efficient to do so. I love the customization options, the tools that Float integrates with, and how you can get both granular and high level information. It’s been my top tool for years and I always try to get new places to adopt it!

2. Runn

🏢 Founded in: 2018

🎯 Primary software category: Resource management

Runn is a purpose-built resource management tool for professional teams. Founded in 2018, the company hails from New Zealand (Aotearoa) with a team of 35+ folks working fully remote around the globe. Runn is geared towards project managers and senior leadership who want to forward plan their staffing (including hiring) needs in project work—and has more than 7,000 users according to their site.

Their aim is to help project teams better run (pun intended) their resource management processes with a focus on capacity planning and solving staffing challenges. In their 2021 seed capital raise, co-founder and CEO, Tim Copeland, said that Runn is seeking to address problems for project managers to plan, track and forecast their staffing capability and capacity.

Much of Runn’s recent product enhancements have been around improving their capacity management features, such as adding public holidays and the option to schedule full-time equivalents (FTEs) for staff forecasting. This hiring and planning focus aligns with their roadmap plans to integrate with HR platforms for importing people and their leave into Runn.

Runn features breakdown

Planning		Scheduling		Time tracking
Project phases	✅	Resource management	✅	Pre-filled timesheets	❌
Project budgets	✅	Capacity management	✅	Bulk logging	❌
Multi-project timelines	✅	Task scheduling	✅	Compare estimates vs. actuals	✅
Forecasting	✅	Utilization monitoring	✅	Mobile app	❌
Project estimates	❌	Notifications	❌	Start/stop timer	✅
Reporting		Security & Governance		Customer success
People & project reporting	✅	SSO	✅	24/5 support	❌
Export options and API	✅	Domain restrictions	✅	Live training sessions	❌
Budget tracking	✅	SOC 2	Type 2	Onboarding support	✅
Estimates vs. actuals	✅	GDPR compliant	✅	Online community	❌

What resource management solutions does Runn offer?

Designed for senior leadership and project managers, Runn’s features focus on capacity planning at a high level. Setting up your people in Runn is geared towards standardizing overall company roles and associated rate cards. Runn checks all of the boxes for resource management functions and offers direct integrations with time-tracking tools like Clockify and Harvest.

As it’s still a relatively young tool (compared to Float and Resource Guru), some useful functionality is still in the works. For example, team members need to log into Runn to view their work assignments, as it doesn’t currently offer automated notifications to alert folks about their schedules or important updates. This is one of the features they mention is in the design phase, which is defined by the Runn team as having a 60% likelihood of going into production. Both of the other pure players, Float and Resource Guru, offer notifications already.

Also, Runn doesn’t yet offer an organizational hierarchy design. For example, it doesn’t have functionality that allows you to create departments and assign managers, in case you want team leads to manage the planning and scheduling of their respective business units.

This is why Runn is better suited for small teams where decision-making sits with one or two key stakeholders, and leaders usually monitor most projects and people in the business.

What has Runn shipped recently?

The Runn team is doing a great job of shipping regular product updates to their users, and they share a public roadmap for transparency.

Like Float, Runn now offers features like project templates and public holidays. They achieved SOC2 Type I compliance, which they launched in Q1 2023, and Type II in Q3 2023. Runn also added a feature to allow users to view their planner by full-time employees (FTE) effort. This is a feature other tools solve with custom filtering and saved custom filters, e.g., in Float, you can easily filter your Schedule by FTE people tags and save it.

An interesting feature on their roadmap is direct integrations with HR tools. Runn’s plans to build direct integrations with HR tools will enable project managers to be able to sync their people and their leave to your team’s calendar.

In comparison, Float uses an open API and third-party services like Zapier (which Float has an app for), so HR integrations aren’t as great a priority as building more powerful and native planning features.

Who is Runn best suited for?

Suited for:

⭐ Small teams with one to two decision-makers for project resourcing

⭐ Small teams that are growing and need to make future hiring decisions

⭐ ≤5 people teams who want a free plan

Not suited for:

👎 Larger organizations with team hierarchies

👎 30+ people teams with project leads and department managers

👎 Teams who want their resource management tool to align the whole team

Runn pricing

1. Free plan: An all-features free plan to 5 or less people teams.

2. Pro. $8 per person per month. All features with additional services like chat, demo, and onboarding support.

3. Enterprise. Custom pricing that includes single sign on (SSO) and dedicated account management.

Free trial: Yes.

Runn ratings

Of the pure player tools, Runn has the fewest public reviews, most likely due to their later entry into the space.

G2: 4.5 (1 review)

Capterra: 4.8 (25 reviews)

3. Resource Guru

🏢 Founded in: 2011

🎯 Primary software category: Resource management

Resource Guru, alongside Float, was one of the first purpose-built resource management tools to enter the SaaS industry in 2011. Today, they’re a remote-first team of 25+ folks who offer one of the most affordable plans for basic resource planning—with different seat pricing for scheduling human and non-human resources. It also does a good job combining capacity planning and leave management in a simple interface.

If you’re a small team that needs a simple scheduling solution, Resource Guru checks most boxes.

A downside of this tool is that their entry plan doesn’t include reporting insights. Downloadable reports are available on their mid-tier Blackbelt plan, and access to reporting insights inside the app are only available on their premium Master plan. Yet, planning with the full picture is important, so reporting shouldn’t be negotiable in resource management software—as knowing the health of your people and projects is essential to great teams.

Resource Guru features breakdown

Planning		Scheduling		Time tracking
Project phases	❌	Resource management	✅	Pre-filled timesheets	❌
Project budgets	✅	Capacity management	✅	Bulk logging	❌
Multi-project timelines	❌	Task scheduling	✅	Compare estimates vs. actuals	❌
Forecasting	✅	Utilization monitoring	✅	Mobile app	❌
Project estimates	❌	Notifications	✅	Start/stop timer	❌
Reporting		Security & Governance		Customer success
People & project reporting	✅	SSO	✅	24/5 support	❌
Export options and API	❌	Domain restrictions	✅	Live training sessions	❌
Budget tracking	❌	SOC 2	❌	Onboarding support	❌
Estimates vs. actuals	❌	GDPR compliant	✅	Online community	❌

What solutions does Resource Guru offer?

Resource Guru offers all of the critical features needed for capacity management, scheduling, and standard availability management, such as calendar sync integrations and vacation scheduling.

Its main interface is designed for a “booking” mindset. This means it’s easy to see all of your human and non-human resources in a left-hand sidebar, and visual cues on the schedule for when there’s a booking clash or someone is overbooked.

One notable feature that sets Resource Guru apart from Runn as a dedicated resource management tool is its feature support for organizational hierarchy. This comes with the option to set “approvers” for booking requests. However, setting up organizational hierarchies for things like departments can only be done by using custom tags, which can become limiting once your team grows beyond 20 people.

Reporting in Resource Guru is helpful to quickly see your team’s utilization rates and whether scheduled work is on budget. But, like mentioned above, Resource Guru offers in-app reporting on its premium plan only, unlike Float and Runn which offer this on their entry plans. Plus, the reporting available in the app is limited to categorized totals, such as total scheduled hours, billable hours, and unscheduled hours, with few options for cross-referencing or drilling down into your data.

What has Resource Guru shipped lately?

Resource Guru invests in improving its resource planning capabilities. An interesting new feature they shipped earlier in 2023 is an approval workflow for booking team members, so their workload can be prioritized better. Their product updates are generally toward managing availability more effectively from alerts for changes in bookings to cleaner calendars.

Who is Resource Guru best suited for?

Suited for:

⭐ Small agency teams

⭐ Teams that need non-human resource bookings

⭐ Teams that need basic scheduling only, no reporting

Not suited for:

👎 20+ people professional service teams

👎 Teams with multiple departments

👎 Teams that need to track budget spend

Resource Guru pricing

1. Grasshopper. $4.16 per person per month. The basic plan that includes resource booking, absence management, and project views.

2. Blackbelt. $6.65 per person per month. Everything in Grasshopper plus reports.

3. Master. $10 per person per month. This plan adds SSO, data imports & phone support.

You can add non-human resources for a tiered additional price on each plan.

Free trial: Yes, 30 days.

Resource Guru ratings

Resource Guru is highly rated for its simplicity and ease of use.

G2: 4.7 (200+ reviews)

Capterra: 4.6 (450+ reviews)

4. Harvest Forecast

🏢 Founded in: 2006

🎯 Primary software category: Resource management, although its core product Harvest is in time tracking

Harvest has been a trusted time-tracking tool since 2006, adding Forecast for work planning in 2014.

It’s important to remember that Harvest is the primary product of the company—a precise time-tracking tool with invoicing features that has been a long-time favorite among the freelancer and independent agency community.

Although Harvest Forecast requires an additional subscription cost and separate log in, it’s designed as a complementary product. The direct integration allows for synced data between the tools.

Harvest Forecast features breakdown

Planning		Scheduling		Time tracking
Project phases	❌	Resource management	✅	Pre-filled timesheets	❌
Project budgets	❌	Capacity management	✅	Bulk logging	✅
Multi-project timelines	✅	Task scheduling	✅	Compare estimates vs. actuals	❌
Forecasting	✅	Utilization monitoring	❌	Mobile app	✅
Project estimates	❌	Notifications	✅	Start/stop timer	✅
Reporting		Security & Governance		Customer success
People & project reporting	✅	SSO	✅	24/5 support	❌
Export options and API	✅	Domain restrictions	✅	Live training sessions	✅
Budget tracking	❌	SOC 2	❌	Onboarding support	✅
Estimates vs. actuals	❌	GDPR compliant	✅	Online community	✅

What solutions does Harvest Forecast offer?

Harvest Forecast provides basic resource management features for tracking people resources and scheduling projects at a high level. It has a traditional resource management software interface that enables you to add projects, assign work, and use simple capacity management features, such as work hours and scheduled time off.

With Harvest Forecast, you can add your team’s work hours, default capacity hours, and work days, and schedule people to projects as assignments, e.g. total hours over a period of time.

With these functionalities, Harvest Forecast fulfills the very basic resource management needs. But, it could be stronger when it comes to the flexibility, people details, and nuances of resource scheduling that most professional teams need. For example, roles are added to people as tags rather than dedicated fields, which makes the planning process more cumbersome. Much of the setup in Harvest Forecast requires manual inputs and high governance.

Project planning and work allocation features are less developed, too. For example, there’s no ability to set a project budget by hours or fees or to create tasks within projects. Because of this, scheduling is restricted to a very limited high level, with team members assigned hours on a project, and projects only capturing a name, client, code, color label, tags, and notes.

What has Harvest Forecast shipped lately?

The Harvest blog hasn’t posted any product news for its Harvest Forecast product since 2018. The only new feature release news shared in the last 12 months has been for its primary time tracking product.

Who is Harvest Forecast best suited for?

Suited for:

⭐ Freelancers

⭐ Small agencies where planning and scheduling are done by one person only

⭐ Teams that need time tracking more than work planning

Not suited for:

👎 Professional teams with multiple departments and managers

👎 >30 people organizations

👎 Tech savvy, modern teams who prioritize efficiency

Harvest Forecast pricing

Harvest Forecast costs $5 per person per month for unlimited clients and projects.

It can be added to Harvest, which has the following two plans:

1. Free. For one seat and two projects max.

2. Pro. $10.80 per person per month. For unlimited seats and projects.

Free trial: Yes, 30 days.

Harvest Forecast ratings

Harvest Forecast has very few public ratings, which signals that most teams are using it for its time tracking capabilities.

G2: 4.2 (40+ reviews)

Capterra: 4.1 (20+ reviews)

5. Toggl Plan

🏢 Founded in: 2006

🎯 Primary software category: Project planning, with its core product Toggl being in time tracking

Toggl was originally founded as a time tracking tool back in the early 2000s. The founders had experienced firsthand the challenges of running an agency and tracking billable time on client work. Today, Toggl offers two main products that complement each other:

Toggl Plan is a project task and timeline planning tool with some basic resource scheduling functionality.
Toggl Track is a built-for-purpose time-tracking tool with invoicing and payroll features.

In September 2022, they also launched Toggl Hire to help teams plan for skills-based hires.

Both Toggl Plan and Toggl Track products are separate offerings under the Toggl brand with features that complement (and integrate with) each other. Each product requires a different login and is best considered as separate complementary products in their respective categories.

Toggl Plan is focused on planning project timelines and flexible task management. Its focus on projects means its resource management features need more details like billable rates, skills, and work hours. And, though it enables you to add multiple teams and projects, you can’t add hierarchy setups, e.g., sub-departments. That’s why most of Toggl Plan’s positive reviews come from smaller teams that don’t require capacity planning and budget management.

Toggl Track, on the other hand, is highly regarded as a great tool for individuals and teams who need precise tracking of micro tasks and reporting.

Toggl Plan + Toggl Track features breakdown

Some features refer to Toggl Plan and some to Toggl Track (mainly the time tracking ones).

Planning		Scheduling		Time tracking
Project phases	❌	Resource management	✅	Pre-filled timesheets	❌
Project budgets	❌	Capacity management	❌	Bulk logging	✅
Multi-project timelines	✅	Task scheduling	✅	Compare estimates vs. actuals	❌
Forecasting	✅	Utilization monitoring	❌	Mobile app	✅
Project estimates	❌	Notifications	✅	Start/stop timer	✅
Reporting		Security & Governance		Customer success
People & project reporting	✅	SSO	✅	24/5 support	✅
Export options and API	✅	Domain restrictions	✅	Live training sessions	❌
Budget tracking	✅	SOC 2	❌	Onboarding support	❌
Estimates vs. actuals	❌	GDPR compliant	✅	Online community	❌

What resource management solutions does Toggl Plan offer?

As a project planning tool, Toggl Plan favors high-level project timelines and task management. However, it’s not as strong in capacity planning and people scheduling. This is due to the absence of input fields such as billable rates, skills, departments and managers, and work hours—all of which are essential to effective resource planning.

Other important features—like time off management—can only be scheduled as full days and is only available on their premium tier plan.

What has Toggl Plan shipped recently?

Toggl Plan’s feature releases in Q1 2023 focused on improving the Plan and Track integration. They’ve made continuous improvements to the running timer so that users can initiate time tracking directly from a Toggl Plan task. They’ve also made incremental improvements, such as giving users the ability to set a custom option for recurring tasks and a separate client tab for viewing the project timeline.

Given their new product Toggl Hire is still in its first year, it would be natural to assume that this is much of the focus for their product roadmap. We noticed that it’s where their most recent content focus is, with many new blogs on talent and hiring.

Who is Toggl best suited for?

Suited for:

⭐ Teams that need precise time tracking

⭐ Freelancers

⭐ Small agencies or consultancies

Not suited for:

👎 Professional teams who need a resource scheduling solution

👎 Teams sharing resources on multiple projects

👎 Teams with organizational hierarchy, e.g., department leads and managers

Toggl Plan pricing

Below you can find Toggl Plan’s pricing:

1. Team. $8 per user per month. Visual workload management, team timelines, and more for small teams that want basic work management and resource planning.

2. Business. $13.35 per user per month. Suited for teams that work with external stakeholders, and includes time off management, priority support, and more.

Free trial: Yes, 14 days.

Toggl Plan ratings

While Toggl Plan has just 37 reviews for resource management software and only eight in the last 12 months on G2, Toggl Track is one of the most popular standalone time tracking products, with 1,500+ reviews and 4.6 out of 5.

G2: 4.3 (35+ reviews)

Capterra: 4.6 (100+ reviews)

6. RM by Smartsheet

🏢 Founded in: 2005

🎯 Primary software category: Work management

Smartsheet is a complete work management platform with millions of users. But, it didn’t always have resource management capabilities. This happened when they embedded the product of dedicated RMS 10,000ft into the Smartsheet software— a company they acquired in 2019.

This has been a significant enhancement to their project and work management platform; they offer resource management as a premium add-on to their enterprise product.

Exactly because it offers dedicated resource management features, Smartsheet differs from other all-in-one tools like Monday.com and ClickUp. It’s built for senior management as it favors high-level views and functions, including percentage-based planning. Enterprise-sized teams choose Smartsheet for its project management capabilities and for centralizing the finances of large project work.

Smartsheet features breakdown

Planning		Scheduling		Time tracking
Project phases	✅	Resource management	✅	Pre-filled timesheets	✅
Project budgets	✅	Capacity management	✅	Bulk logging	✅
Multi-project timelines	✅	Task scheduling	✅	Compare estimates vs. actuals	✅
Forecasting	✅	Utilization monitoring	✅	Mobile app	✅
Project estimates	✅	Notifications	✅	Start/stop timer	✅
Reporting		Security & Governance		Customer success
People & project reporting	✅	SSO	✅	24/5 support	✅
Export options and API	✅	Domain restrictions	✅	Live training sessions	✅
Budget tracking	✅	SOC 2	Type 2	Onboarding support	✅
Estimates vs. actuals	✅	GDPR compliant	✅	Online community	✅

What solutions does resource management by Smartsheet offer?

Smartsheet’s dedicated resource management product offers a range of features to support high-level resource planning and team scheduling. Smartsheet also offers resource allocation, and is helpful for the earlier stages of project planning.

Its people management function serves as a resource database; almost like an intranet for your projects. It includes important project planning inputs like role, department, rates, and availability. It can also capture granular details (like someone’s phone number). By having all of your people’s inputs in the database, Smartsheet seeks to make it easier for senior leaders to find staff for their projects. It’s great for getting a single view of your team’s capacity and assigning work.

One of the challenges with more inputs though is that it’s more data to maintain—so if you want this much information, make sure that you also have a good governance practice to upkeep it!

Also, when it comes to resource planning, Smartsheet isn’t renowned for being user-friendly to make edits and reallocate work. Its UI limitations are one of the reasons why it’s not that suitable for modern, agile teams.

What has Smartsheet shipped recently?

Smartsheet releases product updates quite often and some of them are for its resource management function. For example, up until May 2023, they have published six release notes specifically for Resource Management by Smartsheet. A notable update was a capacity view on the schedule in the tool to enable monitoring capacity across all teams. There have been follow-up releases to continue to improve this capacity view too.

Who is Smartsheet best suited for?

Suited for:

⭐ Larger corporate teams who need a one-stop-shop for work management

⭐ Teams who want to project plan only, and don’t need user-friendly resource management

⭐ Teams who can afford enterprise software and only need a few folks to be using it regularly

Not suited for:

👎 Teams who want a resource management tool that’s user friendly across the organization

👎 Teams who prioritize fast workflows and need to make quick changes to schedules

👎 Agile teams who prefer modern tools

Smartsheet pricing

1. Free. For one user and up to two editors, suited for getting started on task management.

2. Pro. $7 per user per month. Track, share, and manage projects with unlimited sheets, user management, etc.

3. Business. $25 per user per month. This plan includes their resource management features.

G2: 4 (100+ reviews). We’re including the ratings for the Resource management by Smartsheet as G2 has a separate page for it, though Smartsheet as a complete platform has many more reviews and better ratings.

Capterra: 4.5 (2,900+ reviews)

An independent review by project management expert Sarah M. Hoban quotes Smartsheet as being better suited for “MBA types who think in Excel”!

"The product seems average relative to its competitors, but that could be because their analytical twist doesn’t appeal to my right-brained side. For MBA types who think in Excel, Smartsheet could be worthwhile." — Sarah M. Hoban, Strategy Consultant and Program Manager

7. Kantata

🏢 Founded in: 2008 (as Mavenlink)

🎯 Primary software category: Resource management

Kantata is a professional services automation software that combines finance, project, and resource management tools to provide a comprehensive solution for high-level decision-making. Its dedicated resource management features assist senior management in planning projects and staffing. According to their website, they serve over 2,000 professional services organizations.

Kantata offers two core products:

Kantata SX, a Salesforce-native experience
Kantata OX, built on an open API for new customers.

Both products offer all-in-one bundled solutions for resource management.

Although it may be tempting to opt for a platform that combines multiple services, it’s important to weigh the benefits against the potential complexity of using tools like Kantata. Consider how frequently you’ll use different features and how much time and effort it will take to get the job done. Ultimately, the decision should be based on finding the right balance between functionality and usability.

What resource management solutions does Kantata offer?

Kantata’s value proposition as a platform lies in the ability to track operations, project-related costs, and revenues in one place. By bringing finance, project, and resource management tools together, Kantata provides a comprehensive view of your organization’s project data. This ultimately offers valuable insights into your business’s health.

Kantata’s integrated resource management solution has all of the core features for capacity management and work planning, along with project planning capabilities.

However, while Kantata excels in many areas, it can be complex to use for scheduling and allocation. The interface is designed for senior business leaders and is less intuitive for more modern, tech-first teams. Basic tasks, such as creating projects and allocating work, can take quite a few clicks. Trying to get your team motivated enough to want to log in and do their timesheets can also be a challenge!

“At my last agency, doing timesheets in Mavenlink (now Kantata) was so dreaded for team members that leadership ended up moving the time tracking responsibility to project managers.” — Jill Avis, Senior Product Designer

What has Kantata shipped recently?

The Kantata team regularly ships product improvements in various aspects of their platform, including project management, resource management, billing, and more. Many of the improvements are fixes to existing issues or are UX-related. A notable update in 2023 was the new Resourcing tab available in financial projects that replaced the legacy page. This tab offers an "overview of the project’s resources, timeline, planned and projected budget, and team member information."

Who is Kantata best suited for?

Suited for:

⭐ Large corporate teams seeking an all-in-one work management solution.

⭐ Teams focused primarily on project planning and less concerned with user-friendly resource management features.

⭐ Organizations with a budget for enterprise software and a limited number of regular users.

Not suited for:

👎 Creative industries

👎 Remote work environments

👎 Modern teams who prefer lightweight, user-friendly tools

🏢 Founded in: 2006

🎯 Primary software category: Work management

Wrike is a work management platform founded in 2006 as a collaboration solution for project work management. In 2021, Wrike was acquired by Citrix for $2.3 billion.

In late 2022, Wrike separated to be a standalone company that can operate with its own leadership, management, and financial structure, serving about two million users.

Wrike is primarily a collaborative project management software, but it also offers resource management features for agencies and professional services teams. Resource management is offered under Wrike’s Business plan.

What resource management solutions does Wrike offer?

Wrike’s resource management combines workload allocation and timesheets with project management, into one feature-bundled platform.

Resource management is available only on Business Plus and Enterprise plans. It’s also geared towards teams with high levels of governance and senior management users. For example, only Admins and the Account Owner have edit rights to set up important inputs, like available capacity and importing time off.

Work management features (like default role rates and billable rates) make it easier to scenario-plan project work, with all actual work assigned in the schedule.

What has Wrike shipped recently?

Wrike has shipped several improvements in 2023, for both user experience and additional features, but it focuses on project management workflows, instead of resource management.

Who is Wrike best suited for?

Suited for:

⭐ Professional service teams up to 200 people looking for a collaborative work management solution with basic resource planning tools

⭐ Collaborative project management (not resource management)

⭐ Creative agencies who want a work and project management solution

Not suited for:

👎 In-house service units

👎 Project teams who don’t have external clients, e.g., in-house service units

👎 >200 people teams or teams within larger organizations who want to share tool costs

Wrike pricing

2. Team. $9.80 per user per month. For growing teams with unlimited projects, tasks and subtasks, etc.

3. Business. $24.80 per user per month. Set up organization-wide, with automations, resource management and time tracking features. This plan with resource management is limited to 200 users, after which you’ll need to speak to their Sales team about an enterprise plan.

9. Asana

🏢 Founded in: 2008

🎯 Primary software category: Project management

Asana is a solid choice for project management (we used to use it before switching to Linear), but it’s not focused on resource management.

While they offer a workload feature on their Business plan, it provides only a rough estimate of team capacity based on task count and duration, and without considering hours and availability.

Manually inputting "task effort" to estimate capacity based on hours or points may not be the most efficient solution for planning projects and work schedules at scale (or on a daily basis).

We’re big fans of Asana, but we would recommend it for project management, rather than resource management.

Jacqui Ford

VP of Solutions Delivery at Lexer.io

We integrate Asana into Float to deliver day-to-day project management with team planning and forecasting. The incredible capacity planning and reporting functionalities of Float are strides ahead of other project management tools—and I’ve used just about all of them. We use Float to manage our sprint allocations and forecast workloads for individuals and teams up to six months in advance across multiple functions. It’s been an absolute game changer in our ability to be truly agile.

Asana features breakdown

Planning		Scheduling		Time tracking
Project phases	❌	Resource management	❌	Pre-filled timesheets	❌
Project budgets	✅	Capacity management	❌	Bulk logging	❌
Multi-project timelines	✅	Task scheduling	✅	Compare estimates vs. actuals	✅

10. Monday.com

🏢 Founded in: 2012

🎯 Primary software category: Project management

Monday.com is an all-in-one project management tool—often branded as a Work OS—and isn’t a dedicated resource management software. While it allows you to view your team’s workload and tasks on a timeline, it hasn’t added capacity managing features such as roles, rates, work hours, skill tags, departments, and teams.

This software is primarily designed for getting work done rather than planning work effectively. Its focus is on collaboration, task management, and workflow automation.

Consider Monday.com as a project management tool to complement your resource management software, rather than a standalone solution for planning and scheduling work.

Monday features breakdown

Planning		Scheduling		Time tracking
Project phases	❌	Resource management	❌	Pre-filled timesheets	❌
Project budgets	✅	Capacity management	❌	Bulk logging	❌
Multi-project timelines	✅	Task scheduling	✅	Compare estimates vs. actuals	❌

11. ClickUp

🏢 Founded in: 2017

🎯 Primary software category: Project management

ClickUp is a great choice for project management. Its visually intuitive and user-friendly interface allows you to manage projects and tasks with ease.

However, just like Asana and Monday.com, ClickUp isn’t focused on resource management.

Resource management is about planning the high-level of your projects and time management of your people—not the micro details of tasks and to-do lists. ClickUp allows you to manage project tasks and view your calendar at a group level, but it doesn’t have the scheduling and data details needed to plan project work confidently.

Unlike the pure players, it doesn’t have core resource management features, like defining available resources, allocation, and optimization.

ClickUp features breakdown

Planning		Scheduling		Time tracking
Project phases	❌	Resource management	❌	Pre-filled timesheets	❌
Project budgets	✅	Capacity management	❌	Bulk logging	❌
Multi-project timelines	✅	Task scheduling	✅	Compare estimates vs. actuals	❌

ClickUp pricing

The below plans are billed yearly:

1. Free. A plan for personal use, with collaborative docs, Kanban view, and more.

2. Unlimited. $5 per member per month. A plan for small teams with unlimited storage, Gantt charts, and more. Includes resource management.

3. Business. $12 per member per month. A plan for mid-sized teams that includes everything in Unlimited, along with SSO, time tracking, workload management, and timelines.

4. Business plus. $19 per member per month. Best for multiple teams, adding functionalities to the Business plan such as priority support, custom permissions, etc.

5. Enterprise. You need to contact ClickUp for a custom price. This is a plan for large teams.

Free trial: No, but free plan.

Resource plan to win

When choosing software for any purpose, you have an end goal in mind. For resource management tools specifically, it’s about aligning your people to deliver projects on time, scope, and budget. This is why dedicated RMS features are geared toward accurate capacity management and flexible scheduling, with a growing trend to integrate timesheets for progress tracking.

But, merely delivering projects on time and budget is no longer enough to stay competitive.

What is the key to future-proof project work? We believe it’s data—not for the sake of reporting on numbers and results, but for learning how to set up your people for success. Understanding how your team’s time is spent today will enable you to optimize how you plan for it in the future.

This is why at Float, we’re helping teams set themselves up for success with better planning. Efficient workflows that keep everyone aligned to work more effectively. Automated data capture that provides actionable insights. We empower teams to optimize their time by making informed planning decisions that prioritize the well-being of their team. Planning with Float is planning to win.

Some FAQs about resource management software

Editor’s note: this is by far the most FAQs we’ve ever written for a single piece!We put together a lot of the questions our Sales, Success, and Support teams usually get asked and added the answers we tend to give our potential customers 😉

What is resource management software?

Resource management tools are software used to schedule, allocate, and monitor resources needed to complete projects.

Software review sites like G2 and Capterra emphasize that the role of a resource management tool is to allocate and optimize resources. Capterra specifically mentions that RM tools “make it easier for project planners to allocate resources efficiently, analyze resource demand and capacity, and create predictive project scenarios.”

For us at Float, resource management software empowers you to create project plans that set your team up for success. It ensures that the best team is assigned to the job, every time, and helps leaders make sense of their data to inform future decisions.

What’s the purpose of resource management tools?

How does resource management software (RMS) help you exactly? A well-designed resource management tool can help you:

Always know your organizational capacity to inform project planning and resourcing decisions. You can answer questions like “Are we over or understaffed in a particular skill area?” and "Do we have the right people or enough availability to take on this project?".
Understand time spent on projects to improve organizational efficiency over time. This can be done by comparing scheduled vs. actual hours spent on work to learn and iterate in future planning.
Centralize your people and project data into a single source of truth. With resource management software, your team can always know what they’re scheduled on now and what they’re working on next, while project leaders can easily stay across how their team’s time is being spent. This keeps everyone on the same page—especially useful in fast-paced workplaces where you need to juggle multiple projects and people.

Can spreadsheets be effective resource management tools?

Spreadsheets have become the jacks-of-all-trades—used for a wide range of business operations. Even for companies with purpose-built resource management software, the status quo for planning is still a fragmented, patchwork-like process that involves spreadsheets. According to a survey by the Resource Management Institute (RMI) on resource management automation solutions, roughly two thirds of companies are still using spreadsheets to supplement their project automation or stand-alone resource management tool.

But, this creates operational silos, restricts team collaboration, and often leads to the planning feeling painstakingly complex—even for the spreadsheet wizards. 🪄 Spreadsheets are for managing data, not people—and teams who value their time and setting their people up for success should be using purpose-built resource management tools.

The way forward is to use dedicated resource management software like Float, which is intentionally designed to keep everyone in the loop and capture the data you need to make informed decisions. This way, you have a single source of truth for planning project work that’s easily accessible to (but not editable by) everyone and therefore minimizes the possibility of confusion or errors.

A resource management tool will give you purpose-built features, e.g., availability management, click-and-drag scheduling, people skills and role rates tracking, and more, to easily allocate work based on your team’s capacity. You won’t find these features in a spreadsheet simply because it is not what the spreadsheet was ever designed for.

What’s the difference between resource management and project management tools?

Below is a short summary of the differences between the two types of technology(notice that their functions are more complementary than mutually exclusive):

Resource management tools focus on the macro, aka, high level plans	Project management tools handle the micro, aka, task lists and details
What resources are allocated to what projects and for how long	What needs to be done in the service of an overall goal
Ensure alignment on the investment for a project	Manage the work and nuances of day-to-day work

Should I choose all-in-one project management platforms?

While all-in-one project management tools often claim to be a resource management solution as well, we do not recommend using them for this. Their feature set isn’t intentionally designed for project planning workflows and resource allocation capabilities.

Yet, because these one-stop-shop platforms do such a great job of being top of mind for project work management, they’re an easy trap to fall into if you’re not fully familiar with what to look for in a resource management tool. Choosing a project management tool for your resource management needs is like trying to eat soup with a fork! And hey, we’re not anti-project management tools—we use them ourselves—but, for the execution, not planning, part of project work.

Of course, project management tools often do (and should) work together with resource management tools. But, resource management software is where the project planning process should start. As Float’s CEO Glenn Rogers says: "Float helps leaders optimize how work is assigned at the project level. It’s then up to the team to determine their own to-do lists for task management and getting the job done in their preferred project management tools."

What planning features should I look for in resource management software?

Having a tool that provides the full picture is key. Your team (and your clients) will thank you for it later.

Planning features to look out for:

Project phases: Break down projects into smaller manageable parts
Project budgets: Set by time or fees, and by phase
Multi-project timelines: Plan, shift and edit timelines across your projects with ease
Forecasting: See your team’s future capacity and predict project spend
Project estimates: Scenario-plan project proposals, before scheduling the work

What scheduling features should I look for in resource management software?

Scheduling ensures you assign the best person for each job and ensures optimal efficiency.

Scheduling features to look out for:

Resource management: Manage who’s who and track team roles and rates, skills, departments, work hours, and location
Capacity management: Track everyone’s availability including time off, public holidays, and their workload
Task scheduling: Assign tasks to people in a visual timeline with easy editing
Utilization monitoring: See utilization rates at an individual and team level
Notifications: Let your team know what their working on and of any updates

What time tracking features should I look for in a resource management tool?

Time tracking isn’t just timesheets (though resource management software should make logging timesheets easier for team members). It’s also about monitoring progress to keep work on track and identify potential bottlenecks early. By tracking accurate actual data, project leaders can make informed planning decisions.

Time tracking features to look out for:

Pre-filled timesheets: Your team’s timesheets are pre-filled based on their scheduled hours—so no one has to try to remember what they worked on!
Bulk logging: Project managers should be able to bulk log their teams’ hours
Compare estimates vs. actuals: See whether your estimated hours is aligned with the actual time taken to complete work
Mobile app: Your team can log their time on the go, from anywhere
Start/stop timer: Making it easier for your team to record accurate time logs

What reporting features should I look for in a resource management tool?

Reporting should help you make sense of your people and project data, easily! With flexible and visual reports, managers can track resources and capacity, utilization rates, and actual hours on autopilot. Easy exporting makes it simple to share data with finance teams and other tools, ensuring smooth operations and successful projects.

Reporting features to look out for:

People and project reports: Get more accurate data about both
Forecasting: See what you need against what you have
Budget tracking: Use your team’s time tracking data to monitor actual spend
Estimates vs. actuals: Become a better planner by comparing your estimates to actuals
Export options and API access: Send your data easily to your finance tools

What security and governance features should I look for in resource management software?

When choosing a resource management tool, teams at larger organizations will often have higher security protocols that must be met. That’s why it’s crucial for resource management software to have strong security features that meet compliance standards without hindering an efficient workflow.

Security features to look out for:

Single sign-on (SSO): Require that your team logs in using SAML secure sign-on
Domain restrictions: Limits what domain users can log in from, e.g. only folks with an @float.com email address can sign in to our account
SOC 2 compliant (Type 1 & Type 2): This is a high-level industry compliance that requires undergoing stringent security measures to achieve compliance status
GDPR compliant: If you live in the EU, you’ll also want resource management software that meets the EU legal requirements for handling personal data

What shipping signals should I look for in an RMS?

When considering a SaaS company for resource management software (or any SaaS tool for that matter), it’s important to look at what they’ve recently shipped—because this will give you insight into the company’s direction and focus. Each company’s recent additions or improvements to their product tell you how much they focus or invest in the areas you’re interested in and the direction that they’re heading.

For example, tech company Xero decided to retire its product WorkflowMax in June 2024, while Wrike recently regained its independence from Citrix Systems to focus on product growth. Monday ships updates frequently, but not on resource management. The pure players, Float, Runn, and Resource Guru, on the other hand, invest in resource management features as part of their ongoing roadmap.

This is good information to have as it helps you decide if a tool not only checks the boxes for having the features you need today but also one that you know can preempt your future needs and grow with you tomorrow.

As Float’s Senior Product Manager, Alice Winthrop says: "When shopping around for any software, I always look for signs of progress and activity. Is the company shipping updates at a regular cadence? Are they improving existing features as well as adding new ones? Do they respond quickly to customer support requests? Is there a lively community of users?

"At Float we try to do all of the above following our company value of seeking continuous improvement. We have a product vision and feature development roadmap, and regularly release new features and enhancements. Our average customer support response time is under 30 minutes, and we’re fortunate to have a vibrant Slack community group where Float power users share their tips and feedback."
