Wrike plans and delivers work: tasks, boards, tables, Gantt charts, dashboards, request forms, and AI features across Free, Team, Business, Pinnacle, and Apex plans. Public pricing (verified 2026-10-06) lists Free at $0, Team at $10 per user per month, and Business at $25 per user per month, billed annually, with Pinnacle and Apex priced by sales. Wrike’s help center places its time tracker on Business and above, timesheet approvals on Pinnacle and Apex only, and Pinnacle adds budgeting with bill and cost rates and billable hours. What Wrike does not do is invoice the client. Keito is the layer for billable time: AI-drafted entries each person confirms, approved by a reviewer, then turned into invoices and client-ready reports.

Wrike users plan projects, assign tasks, track progress on boards and Gantt charts, and report on delivery. On Business and above they can start a task timer or add timelog entries; on Pinnacle and Apex they can submit, approve, and lock timesheets and budget projects against bill and cost rates. The question Wrike leaves to another system is the client invoice: which approved hours, at which rate, for which client, billed when. Keito answers that question from the reviewed time record, whether the team keeps Wrike for delivery or moves its time and billing out of it.
Add clients, projects, billable rates, and reviewers in Keito. Teams that keep Wrike for planning carry on running tasks, boards, and Gantt charts there; teams leaving Wrike bring their client and project list across with a CSV.
Keito drafts a time entry from the work a person did, so they confirm hours against the right client, project, and task instead of remembering to start a single-task timer or rebuilding a week of timelog entries on Friday.
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.
Work management is not billing
Wrike publishes a work management platform: project and task management, board and table views, shareable dashboards, interactive Gantt charts, request forms, templates, AI features, and add-ons such as Whiteboard, Integrate, Two-Way Sync, and Datahub. Public pricing on Wrike’s pricing page (verified 2026-10-06, for purchases on or after January 21, 2026) lists Free at $0, Team at $10 per user per month for 2 to 15 users, and Business at $25 per user per month for 5 to 200 users, priced monthly and billed annually per user; Pinnacle and Apex are priced by sales. Wrike’s help center says the Time Tracker is available on Business, Pinnacle, and Apex but not Free or Team, that the timer tracks one task at a time, and that time can also be added manually as timelog entries; locking tracked time and time tracking categories are Business and above. Timesheet approvals, where submitted timesheets are reviewed, approved, and locked for payroll and billing, are listed for Pinnacle and Apex only, and the Pinnacle plan is where Wrike adds budgeting against team member or job role bill and cost rates with billable hours. Reviewed public Wrike materials describe its own subscription invoices but no client invoicing from tracked time. Keito’s argument is not that an agency should give up project management — Keito is not a Gantt, board, or request-form tool and claims no native Wrike integration, import, or sync. It is that billable time deserves AI-drafted entries the person who did the work confirms, a reviewer who approves them without an enterprise upgrade, and invoices and client reports built from those approved hours.

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

Wrike’s timer runs on one task at a time until it is paused. Keito drafts a time entry from the work done; the consultant or team member confirms and corrects it against the right client and project.
Wrike lists timesheet approvals on Pinnacle and Apex only. Keito includes timesheet approvals on Pro at $49 USD/month per workspace with no per-user fees, so a reviewer settles billable status before hours reach an invoice.
Wrike can budget against bill rates on Pinnacle but does not send the client an invoice. Keito builds estimates, invoices, recurring invoices, and client-ready reports from approved hours, with Stripe invoice payments.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Product shape
A workspace for time and expense tracking, reviewed billable hours, estimates, invoices, and client reporting.
Wrike publishes work management: projects, tasks, boards, tables, Gantt charts, dashboards, request forms, AI features, and paid add-ons across Free, Team, Business, Pinnacle, and Apex plans.
How time is captured
AI drafts an entry from the work done; the person confirms it against a client, project, and task, and a reviewer approves it.
Wrike’s help center places the Time Tracker on Business, Pinnacle, and Apex; a task timer runs on one task at a time, or users add timelog entries manually.
Review before billing
A reviewer distinct from the person who worked settles billable status per entry before the invoice is built, included on Pro.
Wrike lists timesheet submission, approval, and locking for Pinnacle and Apex only; Business can lock date ranges in Timelog view.
Invoicing from hours
Invoices, recurring invoices, and client reports are built from approved hours by client and project, with Stripe invoice payments.
Wrike’s Pinnacle plan budgets projects against bill and cost rates with billable hours; reviewed public materials do not describe client invoicing from tracked time.
Pricing and adoption
Published flat pricing (Solo $19 USD/month for one licensed user; Pro $49 USD/month and Business $199 USD/month per workspace with no per-user fees) and a setup measured in days.
Wrike lists Free at $0, Team at $10 and Business at $25 per user per month billed annually on 2026-10-06; Pinnacle and Apex, which carry timesheet approvals, are priced by sales.
Data movement
CSV and Excel exports and API handoffs the team designs and tests, moved in deliberate stages.
Wrike offers Timelog view export, Time Spent reports, an API, and paid Integrate, Two-Way Sync, and Datahub add-ons; moving reviewed hours between Wrike and Keito is not an assumed automatic sync.
It is software a team uses instead of, or alongside, Wrike, which runs project and task management, Gantt charts, dashboards, and request forms. Some teams switch to another project management tool; agencies and consultancies that bill by the hour often need a better home for billable time and invoicing. Keito is that alternative: AI-drafted time each person confirms, approved by a reviewer, then turned into invoices and client reports.
Yes, by plan. Wrike’s help center lists the Time Tracker on Business, Pinnacle, and Apex, not on Free or Team, with a task timer that runs on one task at a time and manual timelog entries. Timesheet approvals, where submitted timesheets are reviewed, approved, and locked, are listed for Pinnacle and Apex only, and budgeting against bill and cost rates with billable hours is a Pinnacle feature.
Wrike’s pricing page (verified 2026-10-06) lists Free at $0, Team at $10 per user per month, and Business at $25 per user per month, billed annually, with Pinnacle and Apex priced by sales. Keito publishes flat workspace pricing: Solo at $19 USD/month for one licensed user, Pro at $49 USD/month with timesheet approvals and no per-user fees, and Business at $199 USD/month.
Keep Wrike when the main need is cross-functional project planning: Gantt scheduling, request intake, workflow automation, and portfolio dashboards. Keito is not a project management 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, and invoicing from approved time without moving everyone to a higher Wrike tier.
Each approved entry in Keito carries the client, project, task, person, duration, description, billable status, 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, so a billing question is answered from the reviewed record rather than a timelog export.
Keito claims no native Wrike integration, automatic import, or two-way sync. Most teams start by adding their clients, projects, and rates in Keito and tracking one billing period alongside Wrike. From there they either keep planning in Wrike while time and invoicing run in Keito, or move fully, using Wrike’s Timelog export and Keito’s CSV and Excel handling in stages they design and test.
