Teamdeck alternatives

Teamdeck lists a Light Member at $2 and a Full Member at $6 per member a month, verified 24 September 2026. Teams comparing it usually look at Float (from $7), Runn (from $7), Resource Guru (from $5) and Clockify (from $3.99). PeopleMuster plans capacity for $3 per person a month, with leave, attendance and timesheets on the same record.

Why people leave

  • Two kinds of member. Teamdeck charges $2 for a Light Member and $6 for a Full Member, so every person on the team gets sorted into a type before you know the bill.
  • An unlabelled toggle. The pricing page switches between billing periods without saying which one the $2 and $6 belong to, verified 24 September 2026. You'll want to confirm the period with Teamdeck before you budget.
  • Leave kept somewhere else. When the capacity plan and the leave calendar sit in different tools, a week of approved holiday only leaves the plan once someone removes it by hand.

The real options

Six products were compared on 24 September 2026 on the published per-person price, how that price changes with billing period or member type, any seat minimum, and whether leave is already inside the capacity plan. Evaluated from Teamdeck's own documentation and pricing, September 2026. Every other figure was read from that vendor's own pricing page the same day.

Who it suits
Disclosure: PeopleMuster is our product. It suits agencies and software houses that plan who works on which client project, week by week.
Where it wins
A capacity plan across the team, by day, with under, full and over bands and leave and holidays built in. Timesheets by project feed utilisation by person, project and department, and the week-over-week trend posts to Slack.

Float

Starter $7 and Pro $12 per scheduled person a month; Enterprise custom; guests free. Verified September 2026.
Who it suits
Studios that book people onto projects every week and want a scheduling grid first.
Where it wins
A scheduling grid with time off in it, and free guest seats.
Where it falls short
Scheduling is the whole product, so the employee record lives in another system.

Who it suits
Delivery teams of twenty or more planning capacity months ahead.
Where it wins
Resource planning at two published tiers and a 30-day trial.
Where it falls short

Who it suits
Teams that book people onto work and want to try it before handing over a card.
Where it wins
Three published tiers, no setup fee and a card-free trial.
