Time Doctor charges per user across four plans: Basic, Standard, Premium, and Enterprise, with paid add-ons for extra reports, SSO, and HR or payroll integrations. The plan you need depends on how much monitoring, attendance, and payroll reporting you want. If your team bills clients and the user count keeps growing, Keito is a flat-price alternative built around approved hours and invoices.
Time Doctor lists four plans (checked 2026-10-24): Basic at $6.67 per user per month billed annually or $8 month-to-month, Standard at $11.67 or $14 (adds time approvals, attendance, payroll, and productivity ratings), Premium at $16.70 or $20 (adds video screen recording, executive dashboards, API access, SSO, and client login), and Enterprise on custom terms through sales. There is a 14-day trial of Premium with no credit card, rather than a free plan. For a 10-person team on Standard that is about $117 a month billed annually. Keito Pro is $49 USD a month for the whole workspace, with no per-user fees.

Most teams searching for Time Doctor pricing are working out what it will cost once everyone who tracks, reviews, or bills time has a paid user. Time Doctor is built around workforce monitoring: automatic tracking, screenshots, web and app usage, productivity ratings, attendance, and payroll, with time approvals starting on Standard and paid add-ons on top. If your real need is billing clients accurately rather than monitoring activity, the cost question changes: Keito prices the workspace, not the headcount, and invoices from approved hours.
Create the clients, projects, and tasks you bill against, with per-member billing rates and project budgets by total hours, total fees, task, or person. Keito has no Time Doctor importer, so you set the billing structure up once and keep Time Doctor reports as the archive.
Run a timer in the web app, the Mac, Windows, or iOS app, or the Chrome extension, or add completed time. Review Outlook or Google Calendar events before they become entries, track time from Slack or a Trello card, sync linked entries to Jira worklogs, and let AI assistants such as Claude Desktop or ChatGPT log time through Keito’s hosted MCP connector.
On Pro and Business, timekeepers submit timesheets and a reviewer approves them at each person’s billing rate. By default, Keito invoices include only approved billable time and expenses; invoices can be paid through Stripe and, on Business, copied to QuickBooks Online or Xero.
Time Doctor plans vs Keito
Time Doctor’s pricing page (checked 2026-10-24) lists Basic at $6.67 per user per month billed annually ($8 month-to-month) with automatic tracking, projects and tasks, timeline reports, and screenshots; Standard at $11.67 ($14 monthly) adding schedules, attendance, time approvals, web and app usage, productivity ratings, leave and break tracking, payroll, and 60+ integrations; Premium at $16.70 ($20 monthly) adding video screen recording, unusual activity and benchmark reports, executive dashboards, open API access, SSO, and client login access; and Enterprise with private cloud deployment and custom terms through sales. Annual billing gives two months free. Add-ons on Basic and Standard run $2 to $3 per user per month for reports such as Benchmarks AI or video screen recording, while SSO, user provisioning, and HRIS or payroll integrations are $200 a month each. Keito is not a workforce monitoring tool. Its case is narrower: reviewed billable hours and the invoice built from them, at a flat price for the whole workspace.
Choose Time Doctor when screenshots, productivity ratings, attendance, and payroll reporting are part of how you manage a distributed team
Watch the per-user total: time approvals need Standard for every user, and SSO or HR integrations add a monthly fee on lower plans
Choose Keito when reviewed billable hours and invoices matter most and you want one flat price for every reviewer, contractor, and finance user
Workflow fit
Keito keeps Time Doctor pricing connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Time Doctor puts time approvals on Standard, priced for every user. Keito Pro, at $49 USD/month per workspace with no per-user fees, includes timesheet and expense approvals, project-scoped approval workflows, per-member billing rates, and team capacity and utilization.
Time Doctor’s plans centre on monitoring, productivity reporting, and payroll rather than client invoicing. Keito builds estimates, invoices, and recurring invoices from approved hours on every paid plan, accepts Stripe payments, and copies invoices to QuickBooks Online or Xero on Business so the books stay in your accounting tool.
Keito does not record screens, take screenshots, or rate productivity. Instead, reviewed calendar imports pull in up to 50 Outlook or Google Calendar events at a time, the Jira Cloud integration writes worklogs from linked entries, and AI assistants can log time through Keito’s hosted MCP connector, so entries arrive with client and project context and a person confirms them before billing.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.

Keito has no Time Doctor importer, so plan a clean start. Export your project and hours reports from Time Doctor as the archive, set up clients, projects, tasks, and billing rates in Keito, and start the next billing period there. Run one period alongside your current process and compare the invoices before switching. Developers can backfill older hours through the Keito API.
Each approved entry carries the client, project, task, person, duration, notes, billable status, and billing rate. By default, Keito invoices include only approved billable time and expenses. Keito builds invoices, estimates, and recurring invoices from them, accepts Stripe payments, and produces time and budget reports by client and project; on Business, invoices can be copied to QuickBooks Online or Xero.
