Float vs Hubstaff

Float and Hubstaff are both paid tools that give managers visibility into how a team's time is spent, but they address different concerns. Float is about forward-looking capacity planning across projects, while Hubstaff is about tracking actual hours on distributed teams, with payroll support and monitoring features included.
