WORKCLAVE VS KEKA
All the compliance. None of the ₹9,999 floor.
Keka is a serious HR platform. But it was built for large HR departments, not for the 22-person IT firm that needs to bill clients accurately. Workclave fills exactly that gap.

What teams say when they switch from Keka

THE PROBLEM THEY HAD
They were paying ₹9,999/month just to keep attendance compliant, and still fought billing disputes every month because project context was missing from timesheets.
AFTER SWITCHING TO WORKCLAVE
They moved to session-linked check-ins and started each work block with a client tag. Disputes dropped and monthly tooling cost dropped with them.

THE PROBLEM THEY HAD
Keka for payroll and Toggl for projects meant double entry every Friday. Team leads spent hours merging data before invoicing.
AFTER SWITCHING TO WORKCLAVE
With Workclave, project context and approvals sit in the same flow. Friday reconciliation shrank from hours to minutes.
