Built around the work before the invoice

Toggl is a popular timer. Keito is a billing workflow — the difference matters when clients ask for evidence.

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 upgrade

Keep the habit of tracking. Add the discipline of billing.

Most teams start with Toggl because it is fast and familiar. They leave when they need review steps, budget context, expense tracking, and invoice support. Keito starts with Solo at $19/month and moves teams onto flat-rate plans that do not scale seat by seat.

Workflow fit

Billing layer

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

What Keito adds to toggl alternative

The billing workflow you already know

Keito is built around the same time capture, review, and invoice summary cycle used by the leading billing-focused time trackers — without the per-seat pricing model.

  • Client and project tagging
  • Billable vs non-billable classification
  • Approval status before invoice review

Flat pricing that does not penalize team growth

Add contractors, reviewers, and finance users to the billing workflow without checking whether each addition will increase the monthly tool spend.

  • Solo from $19/month
  • Flat-rate team plans from $49/month
  • No escalation when the team changes

AI agent tracking alongside human billing

Track AI agent costs by client and project alongside your team's billable hours so the full delivery effort is visible in one billing workspace.

  • Human and AI cost in one view
  • Per-client agent cost attribution
  • Combined billing evidence
