Teamwork.com is project management for client-service teams: tasks, Gantt and board views, resource planning, time tracking, and budgets. It is priced per user, and invoicing from logged time sits on the Accelerate plan and above. Keito starts from the time instead: AI-drafted entries each person confirms, approved by a reviewer, priced at their billing rate, and turned into invoices and client-ready reports at a flat workspace price with no per-user fees.
Teamwork.com is a strong choice when the team needs full client project management: task boards, Gantt charts, workload planning, and project budgets. If the real job is capturing, approving, and invoicing billable hours, a per-user project tool can cost more than the billing problem needs. Keito is the alternative for that job, and it can run alongside whichever project tool the team prefers.

Teamwork.com teams usually log time against tasks, report on billable time, and, on Accelerate and above, raise client invoices from logged time. That works when everyone already lives in Teamwork.com for project delivery. When the project work happens elsewhere, or seats are bought mostly so people can log hours, the questions change: who reviewed these hours, what rate applies to each person, and why does every new hire add a seat. Keito answers the billing question in one workspace.
Add clients, projects, per-member billing rates, and reviewers in Keito. Teams leaving Teamwork.com bring their client and project list across with a spreadsheet export.
Keito drafts a time entry from the work a person did, so they confirm hours against the right client, project, and task instead of rebuilding a week from memory.
A reviewer approves billable status before the period closes. Approved hours become Keito estimates, invoices, recurring invoices, and client-ready reports, with Stripe invoice payments.
Project tool or billable-hours tool
Teamwork.com’s pricing page (checked 2026-10-10) lists a Free plan for up to 5 users and 5 projects, Basics at $9.99 USD per user per month with a 3-user minimum, Accelerate at $24.99 per user per month with a 5-user minimum, both billed annually, and Optimize and Enterprise on custom pricing. Billable time tracking and reporting start on Basics; time budgets, retainers, and client invoicing from logged time start on Accelerate. For a twelve-person team on Accelerate that is roughly $300 USD a month before profitability features. Keito is not a Gantt or resource-planning tool, so it is not a like-for-like replacement for Teamwork.com’s project management. Its case is that billable time, its approval, and the invoice built from it belong in one reviewed record at a published flat price.

Prove it in one billing period: run Keito alongside Teamwork.com and compare invoices built from approved hours with your current time-to-invoice process
Workflow fit
Keito keeps Teamwork alternative connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Teamwork.com logs time against tasks with timers and manual entries. Keito drafts a time entry from the work actually done; the person confirms and corrects it against the right client, project, and task, and marks what is billable.
Teamwork.com charges per user, with minimum seat counts on Basics and Accelerate. Keito Pro, at $49 USD/month per workspace with no per-user fees, includes per-member billing rates, timesheet and expense approvals, and project-scoped approval workflows.
Keito builds estimates, invoices, recurring invoices, and client-ready reports from approved hours, with Stripe invoice payments, and copies invoices to QuickBooks Online or Xero on Business so the books stay in your accounting tool.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.

It is software a team uses instead of, or alongside, Teamwork.com, which combines client project management, time tracking, resource planning, and budgets. Some teams switch to another project tool such as Asana, ClickUp, or Wrike. Agencies and consultancies that bill by the hour often need a better home for billable time. Keito is that alternative: AI-drafted time each person confirms, approved by a reviewer, then turned into invoices and client reports.
Yes. Teamwork.com’s pricing page lists billable time tracking and reporting from the Basics plan, and client invoicing from logged time, time budgets, and retainers from the Accelerate plan. What billing teams usually want on top is a reviewer approving hours before they reach an invoice and a rate set per person. Keito Pro includes per-member billing rates, timesheet approvals, and invoices built from approved time.
Teamwork.com’s pricing page (checked 2026-10-10) lists Basics at $9.99 USD and Accelerate at $24.99 USD per user per month billed annually, with 3- and 5-user minimums, and Optimize and Enterprise on custom pricing.

Keep Teamwork.com when the main need is running client projects: task boards, Gantt charts, workload and capacity planning, intake forms, and automations across the whole team. Keito is not a project-planning tool, so it is the wrong choice for replacing those. It fits when the gap is billable time: capturing hours by client and project, approving them at each person’s rate, and invoicing from approved time.
Each approved entry in Keito carries the client, project, task, person, duration, description, billable status, rate, reviewer, and approval state. Keito builds estimates, invoices, and recurring invoices from those approved hours, accepts Stripe invoice payments, and produces client-ready reports by project and task. On Business, invoices can be copied to QuickBooks Online or Xero for the books.
Keito claims no native Teamwork.com integration, automatic import, or two-way sync. Most teams start by adding their clients, projects, and rates in Keito, using a spreadsheet exported from Teamwork.com where it helps, and tracking one billing period alongside it. From there they either keep Teamwork.com for project delivery while time and invoicing run in Keito, or move fully to Keito for billable work.
