Keito gives teams a billing workspace for LLM API spend: attribute token costs by client project, review AI costs alongside human billable hours, and include LLM usage in the delivery billing record.

llm api 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.
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.
Combine AI agent cost records with human billable hours in one review so the total delivery effort is visible before the invoice cycle starts.
Use reviewed human and agent cost data to prepare client summaries and invoice backup that reflect how the work was actually delivered.
LLM API billing gap
Teams building AI-powered products and services for clients have a new billing challenge: LLM API costs — tokens, inference, fine-tuning — are legitimate client delivery costs, but most billing workflows have no place for them. Token costs arrive as provider invoices, get absorbed as overhead, and disappear from the client billing record. The result is under-billing, margin erosion, and invoices that do not reflect the real cost of AI-augmented delivery. Keito provides the billing layer for LLM API costs: attribute token and inference spend to the client project that incurred it, review LLM costs alongside human billable hours in a single billing workspace, and include AI delivery costs in client summaries and invoice backup.

Workflow fit
Keito keeps llm api cost tracking connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Include AI delivery costs in client billing summaries for transparent invoicing
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.
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.
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.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
LLM API cost attribution and client billing
Keito keeps llm api 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.
Use a workspace where time is captured against the right client and project, reviewed before invoicing, and exported as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow, so llm api cost tracking is not separated from the approval and invoice context it needs.
Yes. Keito tracks work by client, project, person, billable status, and review state, then turns approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes it useful when llm api cost tracking needs to support billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
A generic timer records duration. Keito records billable context: who did the work, which client and project it belongs to, whether it has been reviewed, and how it should appear in billing evidence.
Solo is built for one human owner and unlimited AI agents. Pro adds human teammates. Business adds integrations, exports, and online invoice payments.
