Built around the work before the invoice

Clockify's free tier gets teams started. Keito takes them through the full billing cycle.

Keep the billing habit while switching tools

Migrate client and project structure to Keito so the tracking workflow is familiar from day one — the same fields, the same billing discipline, without the pricing model that drove the switch.

Review time before it becomes invoice evidence

Run the same approval step you relied on before, with the added assurance that the review covers project context, expenses, and billable status in one place.

Invoice from reviewed records at a predictable cost

Use the same billing data to produce client summaries and invoice backup without paying per seat each time the team or contractor roster changes.

Billing upgrade

Graduate from free-tier tracking to a full billing workflow

Many teams start on Clockify because it is free and easy. The friction shows up at billing time: reports need manual cleanup, invoicing is a separate tool, and expense tracking is missing or limited. Keito combines the tracking habit with the billing workflow in a single flat-rate workspace.
