Track Claude Code spend by client and project, not just by month.
Claude Code accelerates engineering delivery, but the API and subscription cost needs to be attributable to the work that generated it. Keito gives teams a place to attach Claude Code usage to client engagements.
Claude Code cost tracking needs more than a timer. The billing record has to keep client, project, approval, and invoice context together before the work reaches finance.
Capture AI agent costs as they happen
Record token fees, subscription usage, and compute costs against the client project they serve as the agents run — not reconstructed at billing time from company card statements.
Review agent costs alongside human time
Combine AI agent cost records with human billable hours in one review so the total delivery effort is visible before the invoice cycle starts.
Produce billing evidence that covers every delivery resource
Use reviewed human and agent cost data to prepare client summaries and invoice backup that reflect how the work was actually delivered.

Claude Code cost attribution
Attribute Claude Code spend to the projects and clients that benefit from it
Claude Code has quickly become a primary AI coding tool for many engineering teams — autonomous task completion, large-context refactors, and direct codebase access deliver real productivity gains. They also generate real costs: subscription tiers, token usage on long-context jobs, and the engineering time spent shaping prompts and reviewing output. When that work is for clients, those costs should appear somewhere in the project margin and, where the client relationship supports it, in the billing record. Keito gives engineering teams a place to track Claude Code usage alongside human hours by client and project. Tagging time entries as Claude Code-assisted, attributing API costs to engagements, and reviewing AI-assisted billing summaries become routine rather than ad-hoc. Project leads see the full cost of delivery, not just the human hours, when they review margins or prepare client conversations.

What Keito adds to Claude Code cost tracking
Per-client AI cost attribution
Keito tracks AI agent costs against the same client and project structure as human billable hours so agent spend is never invisible overhead. Agent sessions land as source-tagged time entries via the CLI, API, or Agent Skill, with LLM token costs logged as expenses.
Token and subscription cost capture
Client and project attribution
Reviewable alongside human time
Combined human and agent billing view
See total delivery cost — human hours and AI agent costs together — by client and project so pricing, margins, and billing decisions reflect the real cost of work.
Human + AI cost in one workspace
Project-level margin context
Combined billing evidence
Flat pricing for AI-augmented teams
Keito flat pricing means adding AI tracking capacity to the billing workflow does not create a per-seat cost spike as more people and more agents are involved in delivery.
No per-user escalation
Room for AI and human contributors
Predictable monthly tool cost

Compare the workflow
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
AreaKeitoTypical setup
Claude Code cost attribution
Keito keeps Claude Code cost tracking tied to clients, projects, billable status, approvals, and billing summaries in one workspace.
Typical setups capture time in one tool and rebuild the billing explanation later from exports, comments, or spreadsheet cleanup.
Review before invoicing
Managers review entries before they become invoice evidence, so missing context is fixed internally rather than during a client dispute.
Raw timer exports usually reach finance before delivery leads have confirmed whether the work is billable, complete, or client-ready.
Predictable team pricing
Flat-rate plans let delivery staff, reviewers, contractors, and finance users participate without per-seat pricing friction.
Per-seat time trackers make teams choose between clean billing participation and controlling tool spend.
What is the best way to manage Claude Code cost tracking?
The best way to manage Claude Code cost tracking is to capture work at source, attach it to the right client and project, review it before invoicing, and use the reviewed record as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow so time, approvals, and invoice context stay connected.
Can Keito help with Claude Code cost tracking?
Yes. Keito helps with Claude Code cost tracking by tracking work by client, project, task, person, billable status, and review state, then turning approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes the data useful for billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
How is Keito different from a generic timer for Claude Code cost tracking?
Keito is different because it treats time as billing evidence, not just duration. A generic timer records how long something took; Keito records who did the work, where it belongs, whether it was reviewed, and how it should appear in client billing context.
Can Claude Code cost tracking support billing clients for AI work?
Yes, Claude Code cost tracking can support billing clients for AI work when agent sessions, token costs, compute spend, and human review time are attributed to the right client project. Keito keeps AI costs and human time together so teams can explain total delivery effort before invoicing.
What should a client-ready Claude Code cost tracking report include?
A client-ready Claude Code cost tracking report should include the client, project, task, contributor, billable status, approval state, and a concise explanation of the work completed. Keito keeps those details connected so reports can answer client questions without exposing internal delivery noise.
