Keito works alongside ClickUp to capture time in a billing-ready format — with client tags, approvals, expenses, and invoice summaries built into the same flow.
ClickUp organises the work. Keito turns it into billing evidence without a manual export step.
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.

Agency billing
Bridge the gap between ClickUp sprints and client invoices
ClickUp is excellent for organising dev and agency delivery work, but billing requires a separate layer: client attribution, billable classification, approval, and invoice-ready summaries. Keito adds that layer without requiring teams to abandon their ClickUp workflow.
Map time entries to the same clients and projects you track in ClickUp
Separate billable feature work from internal support and non-billable sprints
Produce client summaries that connect ClickUp task effort to delivery outcomes
Workflow fit
Billing context
Keito keeps clickup time tracking connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

What Keito adds to clickup 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 context
Adds client, approval, and invoice context that ClickUp timers do not provide.
ClickUp native time tracking does not support billing summaries or client invoicing.
Review layer
Managers approve entries before they become billing evidence.
Raw ClickUp timer data goes directly into exports without review.
Expense tracking
Expenses can be attached alongside time entries per project.
ClickUp does not track project expenses alongside time.
Does ClickUp have time tracking for client billing?
ClickUp includes time tracking features, but they are designed for internal productivity, not for client billing workflows, invoice preparation, or approval-based billing reviews.
How do ClickUp users track billable time for clients?
Teams run Keito alongside ClickUp — using ClickUp for task and project management while Keito captures billable work, approvals, and invoice-ready summaries.
Is Keito cheaper than per-seat ClickUp time add-ons?
Keito uses flat team pricing from $49/month. Teams with growing delivery and review rosters often find flat pricing more predictable than per-seat billing tool upgrades.
