Keito

Independent consultants, freelancers, and small studios need to track billable hours and get paid, but many tools charge per-user fees that scale painfully as a team grows. The page highlights a competitor charging $15/user, which one customer says cost them over $200/month more than Keito's flat pricing for a 20-person team. Without an integrated flow, billing requires moving from tracked time to spreadsheets to invoices, described on the page as copy-paste, exports, and chasing payments. One testimonial says invoicing alone used to take 4 hours a month before switching.

Keito is a flat-fee, unlimited-user platform combining time tracking, project management, expense tracking, and invoicing in one web and desktop app. It offers one-click time tracking with idle detection, project budgets and progress tracking, team collaboration with per-member billing rates, and professional invoices with Stripe payments and recurring billing. Desktop apps for Mac and Windows provide fast time capture from the menu bar or taskbar while the web app handles projects, approvals, reporting, and invoicing. Higher tiers add approval workflows, capacity planning, and integrations with Xero, QuickBooks Online, Asana, Basecamp, Zendesk, Airtable, and monday.com.
