Keito captures the hours, tasks, and AI cost behind usage-based pricing and reviews them before invoicing, so consumption billing is backed by evidence rather than estimates.

usage based billing software needs more than a timer. The billing record has to keep client, project, approval, and invoice context together before the work reaches finance.
Record billable time by client, project, task, and person so the billing source of truth is created during delivery, not reconstructed at month end.
Approve entries, expenses, and budget movement in one place so managers can catch missing context before finance creates the invoice.
Use the same tracked data for invoices, client summaries, margin reviews, and internal capacity conversations.
Consumption billing
Usage-based billing is appealing because it ties what a client pays to what they actually consumed — hours worked, tasks completed, or AI cost incurred. The hard part is the evidence. Unlike a flat retainer, a consumption invoice invites the client to ask exactly what drove the number, and if the answer lives in scattered timers, raw exports, and an AI provider bill nobody can read, the model collapses into arguments and write-downs. As more delivery runs through AI agents whose cost varies per run, this gets harder still: usage now includes both human hours and machine cost, and both have to be measurable per client to bill them. Keito is built around producing that evidence. Human hours are captured against the client, project, and task they served; AI agent and model cost is logged as project expense against the same structure; and a reviewer approves the combined consumption record before it becomes an invoice. The client receives a bill they can verify line by line — this much human time, this much AI cost, on this work — rather than a usage figure they have to trust. Usage-based billing stops being a source of disputes and becomes a pricing model the firm can defend, because every unit billed is backed by a reviewed record of what was actually consumed.
Measure both human hours and AI cost per client for consumption billing
Review the usage record before it becomes a client invoice
Give clients a usage bill they can verify instead of having to trust
Workflow fit
Keito keeps usage based billing software connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Give clients a usage bill they can verify instead of having to trust
Keito keeps time, expenses, approvals, and client context together so the invoice is backed by the same record your team used to deliver the work.
Invite the people who capture, review, and explain client work without turning each new contractor or reviewer into another per-seat charge.
Spot budget drift, missed entries, and low-margin work before the month closes and the client conversation becomes harder.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Verifiable consumption record vs an unexplained usage figure
Keito keeps usage based billing software tied to clients, projects, billable status, approvals, and billing summaries in one workspace.
Typical setups capture time in one tool and rebuild the billing explanation later from exports, comments, or spreadsheet cleanup.
Review before invoicing
Managers review entries before they become invoice evidence, so missing context is fixed internally rather than during a client dispute.
Raw timer exports usually reach finance before delivery leads have confirmed whether the work is billable, complete, or client-ready.
Predictable team pricing
Flat-rate plans let delivery staff, reviewers, contractors, and finance users participate without per-seat pricing friction.
Per-seat time trackers make teams choose between clean billing participation and controlling tool spend.
The best way to manage usage based billing software is to capture work at source, attach it to the right client and project, review it before invoicing, and use the reviewed record as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow so time, approvals, and invoice context stay connected.
Yes. Keito helps with usage based billing software by tracking work by client, project, task, person, billable status, and review state, then turning approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes the data useful for billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
Keito is different because it treats time as billing evidence, not just duration. A generic timer records how long something took; Keito records who did the work, where it belongs, whether it was reviewed, and how it should appear in client billing context.
Turn usage based billing software into invoice-ready evidence by reviewing every entry for client, project, billable status, approval state, and billing notes before finance creates the invoice. Keito keeps those checks in the same workflow so the client summary is backed by reviewed work, not a late spreadsheet cleanup.
A client-ready usage based billing software report should include the client, project, task, contributor, billable status, approval state, and a concise explanation of the work completed. Keito keeps those details connected so reports can answer client questions without exposing internal delivery noise.
