Story points measure effort estimates, not where the sprint really went. Keito ties real hours to stories and sprints so teams see true capacity and client-billed work is backed by a record, without surveillance.

sprint 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.
Record time by client, project, and team member role so billing reports reflect actual team composition without needing a separate tracking system per person.
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.
Produce summaries that explain team effort by deliverable, milestone, or service area so clients understand what they are paying for.
Capacity and billing from one record
Agile teams plan in story points, but points are an estimate of relative effort, not a record of where a sprint actually went. When a sprint slips, retros run on memory — which story ate the week, how much went to unplanned support, whether a carryover was really half-done. And for teams that bill clients, points are useless at invoice time: a client expects hours against their work, not a velocity chart. Keito adds a light time layer to the agile process without turning it into surveillance. Developers attach time to the stories and tickets they already work in, so hours roll up by story, by sprint, and by client with almost no extra effort. Retrospectives gain a factual base — planned versus actual time per story, how much capacity went to unplanned work — and capacity planning improves because the next sprint is sized against real data, not optimism. For agencies and consultancies running client sprints, the same record becomes billing evidence: the hours behind a sprint are tied to the client and reviewed before they reach an invoice, so a fixed-scope sprint and a billed engagement draw on the same trustworthy numbers.

Keito flat pricing means project leads can add contractors, specialists, and reviewers without facing a billing escalation each time the delivery team changes composition.
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.
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.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Hours by story and sprint vs story points alone
Keito keeps sprint 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.
The best way to manage sprint time tracking is to capture work at source, attach it to the right client and project, review it before invoicing, and use the reviewed record as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow so time, approvals, and invoice context stay connected.
Yes. Keito helps with sprint time tracking by tracking work by client, project, task, person, billable status, and review state, then turning approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes the data useful for billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
Keito is different because it treats time as billing evidence, not just duration. A generic timer records how long something took; Keito records who did the work, where it belongs, whether it was reviewed, and how it should appear in client billing context.
A project lead or delivery manager should review sprint time tracking before invoicing because they can confirm whether the work is billable, complete, and explained in client language. Keito gives reviewers a shared workspace for checking team entries before the billing record leaves the delivery team.
A client-ready sprint time tracking report should include the client, project, task, contributor, billable status, approval state, and a concise explanation of the work completed. Keito keeps those details connected so reports can answer client questions without exposing internal delivery noise.
