Track your billable time in Keito. Invoice and receive payment via Wise.
Freelancers and small teams that invoice internationally via Wise need accurate time records before the payment request goes out. Keito provides the reviewed billing source of truth.
wise 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.
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.

Billing before Wise
Create a reviewable time record before every Wise payment request
Wise is a popular choice for freelancers and small agencies invoicing international clients because it handles currency conversion and cross-border transfers efficiently. But Wise does not track the billable time that justifies the invoice amount — it just moves the money once the invoice is agreed. Teams that use Wise for international billing still need a time tracking step that creates a defensible, reviewable record of what was delivered before the payment request is sent. Keito handles the pre-Wise workflow: track billable hours against client and project, review entries to ensure nothing is missing or mis-categorised, export a client-ready billing summary, and use that as the basis for your Wise invoice. The flat-rate Keito plan means contractors and reviewers can participate in the review step without adding per-seat cost before the invoice goes out.

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
Pre-invoice billing record
Keito keeps wise 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.
What is the best way to manage wise time tracking?
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 wise time tracking is not separated from the approval and invoice context it needs.
Can Keito help with wise time tracking?
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 wise time tracking needs to support billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
How is this different from a generic timer?
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.
