01

Built around the work before the invoice

Time Doctor was built for employee monitoring. Keito is built for client billing. They are different workflows with different outcomes.

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.

02

Billing without monitoring

Client billing time tracking that does not treat the team like suspects

Time Doctor's value proposition is workforce monitoring: screenshots, activity logs, app and URL tracking. That creates friction with high-trust professional teams who track time for client billing, not attendance verification. Keito is designed for the billing use case: teams record client and project work, managers review entries for accuracy, and the result is invoice-ready evidence — without productivity scoring, screen capture, or surveillance infrastructure.

Track time by client and project for billing accuracy without monitoring productivity or activity patterns

Review and approve team entries before billing without screenshot-based justification

Produce client billing summaries from reviewed delivery records, not surveillance reports

Workflow fit

Primary purpose

Keito keeps time doctor alternative connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.
