Built around the work before the invoice

Contractor billing breaks when time entries are spread across tools, clients, and approval chains.

Capture delivery work by client and role

Record time by client, project, and team member role so billing reports reflect actual team composition without needing a separate tracking system per person.

Review team-level billing before it leaves the project

Give project leads a combined view of who worked on what, what is billable, and whether the team effort matches the client story before invoice prep starts.

Report team delivery in client billing language

Produce summaries that explain team effort by deliverable, milestone, or service area so clients understand what they are paying for.

Contractor billing

Give contractors and managers a single billing record

Contractor time tracking has two audiences: the contractor who needs to capture work across many clients, and the manager who needs to approve it before billing. Keito supports both. Contractors log time with client and project context, managers review the entries, and the approved records become the invoice backup — without a separate spreadsheet step.

What Keito adds to time tracking for contractors

Team billing without per-seat penalties

Keito flat pricing means project leads can add contractors, specialists, and reviewers without facing a billing escalation each time the delivery team changes composition.

  • Flat-rate team plans from $49/month
  • Mix of full-time and contract contributors
  • Finance and project lead reviewers included

Delivery context the whole team fills in

Keito is designed for teams who move fast. It captures the minimum needed for billing accuracy: client, project, task, and billable status, without turning every entry into a form.

  • Quick entry with client and project tags
  • Billable or non-billable classification per entry
  • Manager review before entries become billing evidence

One billing view across the full team

Project leads can see all team contributions to a client engagement, not just their own entries, so the billing review is a single step rather than an aggregation exercise.

  • Project and team utilization view
  • Combined billing summary by client
  • Exportable team report for invoice backup

Compare the workflow

The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.

Area Keito Typical setup

Multi-client support

Contractors work across any number of clients in one workspace.

Some tools limit projects or clients at lower pricing tiers.

Approval workflow

Managers review and approve contractor entries before billing.

Raw contractor timesheets often go directly to invoicing without review.

Pricing model

Flat plans keep billing predictable when contractor rosters change.

Per-seat tools add cost each time a new contractor joins a project.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best time tracking for contractors?

Contractors need a tool that supports multiple clients, captures task-level context, and connects to an approval or invoice workflow. Keito is built around these requirements with flat pricing.

How should contractors track time across multiple clients?

Using a single workspace with client and project tags means all time is in one place. Keito is designed for this — one workspace, many clients, with billing status on every entry.

Can Keito handle contractor timesheet approvals?

Yes. Project leads or managers can review contractor entries by client and project, approve the billable work, and use the reviewed record as the basis for an invoice or client summary.
