Asana tracks what to do. Keito tracks what to charge for it.
Keep delivery context attached to time
Group work by client, project, issue, branch, or repository reference so time reports explain what changed, not just who was online.
Review engineering work before billing
Use approvals and project summaries to catch unassigned work, non-billable research, and time that needs a clearer client note.
Report the work in client language
Export clean summaries that connect delivery activity to project budgets, retainers, and invoices without exposing internal noise.

Project billing
Keep Asana for delivery and Keito for billing
Most Asana teams manage tasks and then reach for a separate timer or spreadsheet when the billing cycle arrives. Keito fills the gap between delivery activity and billing evidence — time entries are grouped by client and project, reviewed for billable status, and used to produce the invoice summary without duplicating the Asana setup.
Tag time against the same client and project structure you already use in Asana
Let managers review billable vs internal work before invoice prep starts
Export client-ready summaries grouped by project milestone or workstream
Workflow fit

What Keito adds to asana time tracking
Developer-friendly time context
Keito is designed for technical teams that need billing records to reflect real delivery work without pushing every developer into finance tooling. The Keito CLI, GitHub Action, and Agent Skill log time from the terminal, CI jobs, pull requests, and AI coding sessions directly.
GitHub Action logs time from issues and PRs
CLI tracking for terminal and CI sessions
Repository and issue references on invoices
Review layer for client work
Managers can separate billable implementation, non-billable discovery, support, and internal work before reports leave the team.
Approval workflow
Billable status by task
Client-ready exports
Billing and project reporting in one flow
Use tracked engineering work for invoice backup, project profitability, and retainer reviews without stitching together several spreadsheets.
Budget and margin context
Expense support
Flat team pricing
04
Compare the workflow
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
AreaKeitoTypical setup
Billing layer
Adds client billing context that Asana is not designed to provide.
Native Asana time tracking does not include invoicing or client billing summaries.
Approval workflow
Managers approve billable entries before invoice prep begins.
Asana does not have a billing review or approval step.
Team pricing
Flat plans let all delivery contributors participate without per-seat cost escalation.
Does Asana have built-in time tracking for billing?
Asana includes basic task time fields, but it is not designed for client billing workflows, invoice preparation, approvals, or project-level billing summaries.
How do Asana teams add billing-ready time tracking?
Teams run Keito alongside Asana — using Asana for task management and Keito to capture billable work, review entries, attach expenses, and prepare client summaries.
Can Keito replace Harvest for Asana users?
Many teams switch from Harvest to Keito when they want flat team pricing and a tighter connection between time review and invoice preparation, without paying per seat for every reviewer.
