Stripe moves the money. Keito creates the reviewed billable hour record that justifies the invoice amount — by client, project, and billable status — so Stripe invoicing starts from defensible billing evidence.

stripe time tracking needs more than a timer. The billing record has to keep client, project, approval, and invoice context together before the work reaches finance.
Group work by client, project, issue, branch, or repository reference so time reports explain what changed, not just who was online.
Use approvals and project summaries to catch unassigned work, non-billable research, and time that needs a clearer client note.
Export clean summaries that connect delivery activity to project budgets, retainers, and invoices without exposing internal noise.
Pre-Stripe billing
Stripe is the default payment and invoicing rail for a growing share of freelancers, agencies, and SaaS-adjacent service businesses. Stripe Invoicing lets a team send hosted invoices, accept card and ACH payments, and reconcile collections automatically — which removes a lot of administrative friction. What Stripe does not do is create the billable hour record that justifies the invoice amount. The line items on a Stripe invoice come from somewhere; for service businesses, they come from billable hours that were either tracked in a separate tool or reconstructed at month end. When billable hours are reconstructed rather than reviewed, two things happen: small unbilled hours stack up across invoices, and client disputes about invoice amounts are harder to resolve because the source data was never reviewed in the first place. Keito gives service businesses the pre-Stripe billing review layer. Hours are tracked against client, project, and billable status as the work happens; approval queues catch missing context before any data informs an invoice; and reviewed billing summaries become the basis for Stripe invoice line items. Stripe continues to handle the payment workflow; Keito makes sure the invoice amounts are defensible before Stripe ever sends them.

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.
Managers can separate billable implementation, non-billable discovery, support, and internal work before reports leave the team.
Use tracked engineering work for invoice backup, project profitability, and retainer reviews without stitching together several spreadsheets.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Pre-invoice billing record
Keito keeps stripe time tracking 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.
Use a workspace where time is captured against the right client and project, reviewed before invoicing, and exported as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow, so stripe time tracking is not separated from the approval and invoice context it needs.
Yes. Keito tracks work by client, project, person, billable status, and review state, then turns approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes it useful when stripe time tracking needs to support billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
A generic timer records duration. Keito records billable context: who did the work, which client and project it belongs to, whether it has been reviewed, and how it should appear in billing evidence.
