A Workamajig alternative that fixes agency hours without moving the books.

It is software an agency adopts instead of — or alongside — Workamajig’s all-in-one agency-management platform. Because Workamajig spans projects, resourcing, CRM, media, and fully native accounting, an alternative rarely replaces all of it at once. Keito is the alternative for the time side specifically: AI-drafted hours confirmed by the people who did the work, approved AI tool costs on the same client record, and reviewed invoice evidence handed to whatever runs the agency’s projects and books.

Scope is the difference. Workamajig publishes task and time tracking as one part of an all-in-one agency platform that also runs sales CRM, project intake, resourcing and traffic, media, and the agency’s own accounting. Keito is only the reviewed time layer: entries are drafted by AI from real work signals — typed, timed, API, CLI, and agent-sourced — confirmed by the person who did the work, and approved with AI tool and model costs before anything becomes invoice evidence.

Choose Workamajig when the agency wants one implemented platform to run projects, resourcing and traffic, client intake, media, and its general ledger together — it publishes fully native agency accounting, per-user plans, and an included onboarding, training, and support programme. Keito does not reproduce any of that platform: no accounting, purchasing, resourcing, CRM, or media module. It is the wrong choice if the agency’s immediate goal is consolidating operations and finance into one system.

In stages, and usually only for the time side. Stand up clients, projects, rates, reviewers, and billing periods in Keito and run one billing cycle in parallel to prove the drafted-and-reviewed record. Because Workamajig can hold an agency’s books, the accounting question is its own decision — Keito does not replace a general ledger, so the agency keeps its accounting in place or migrates it separately on its own timeline. Any transfer of reference data happens through exports the team designs and tests itself; there is no automatic import.

Each reviewed record keeps the client, project, contributor, duration, description, billable status, rate context, reviewer, approval state, write-down decision, and billing period, with approved AI tool and model costs attributed to the same client and project as the hours. That package backs the invoices the agency raises — whether the books live in Workamajig, a general-purpose accounting system, or wherever the agency moves next — and gives account leads a reviewed answer when a client questions a line.

Neither. Keito is not an accounting system — it has no general ledger, purchasing, or accounts payable and receivable — and it claims no native Workamajig integration, automatic import, activity ingestion, or two-way synchronisation. Keito captures and reviews billable time and AI delivery costs, then hands approved invoice evidence to the agency’s invoicing and accounting process through exports or API handoffs the team designs and tests itself. An agency can keep Workamajig for projects and the books and run Keito alongside as the reviewed time layer.
