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.

What is RentRedi?

RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.

RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.

Float vs RentRedi: editorial side-by-side

F5.0

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.

R7.5

RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.

◆ Current state

RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.

◆ Where it's heading

October's releases served landlords with staff: team chat access, payment filters, receipts and dark mode. Tenant Certificate adds a tenant-side growth loop, because landlords who receive a certificate are asked to create a RentRedi account. Maintenance is becoming a hub for partner updates like Lessen's.

◆ Prediction

Expect Tenant Certificate data to feed into screening or applications inside RentRedi, and the read-only Lessen timeline to gain replies.
