What It Is

Rinkta is an automated time-tracking and invoicing tool built for software agencies, creative studios, and multi-client service teams. It does not try to replace project management tools such as Asana, GitHub, Linear, or ClickUp. Instead, it connects to those systems, captures completed work in the background, estimates billable time, and generates ready-to-send invoices based on client rates, currencies, and tax information.

Core Features and Integrations

Its core value is reducing the end-of-month effort spent manually compiling timesheets and reconstructing work records. The product offers AI time estimation, automated invoicing, real-time profitability tracking by client/project, detection of unbilled time, budget tracking and alerts, data export, and bulk operations. Disclosed integrations include Asana, ClickUp, Basecamp, Linear, GitHub, Slack, Toggl, and Fizzy, while the FAQ also mentions Notion and Trello. Connections are handled via OAuth, so team members can continue working in their existing tools; the main people who need to learn the Rinkta UI are those responsible for invoicing.

Pricing and Trial

Rinkta uses a subscription model, with annual billing saving 25%. The Team plan is $74/month annually, Studio is $149/month annually, and Agency is $299/month annually. Monthly billing is $99, $199, and $399 respectively, with prices excluding tax. All plans include unlimited projects, clients, and team members; the main differences are the number of operations, profitability analytics, budget alerts, data export, API/Webhook access, MCP, and support level. A 7-day free trial is available, and it is marked as requiring no credit card.

Security, Deployment, and Developer Capabilities

Based on the available information, Rinkta is a cloud SaaS product, with no self-hosting option disclosed. Its security disclosures are relatively specific: TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, EU data centers, geographically redundant backups, GDPR compliance, and DPA signing available upon request. However, SOC 2 is described as following relevant controls, not as a completed certification. Developer capabilities are mainly included in the Agency plan, including API access, custom Webhooks, and MCP agent access.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Rinkta’s strength is its focused positioning. It is well suited to small and mid-sized agencies that serve multiple clients, collaborate through project management tools, need time-based billing, and want visibility into project profitability. The fact that the whole team does not need to switch tools is a major usability advantage. Limitations include the need to manually review AI estimates, an entry price that may not be low for very small teams, and undisclosed details around the permission model, payment methods, and Chinese-language support. On the compliance side, it also lacks a completed SOC 2 certification.

Access from China and Alternatives

The available materials do not provide information on mainland China network access, payment methods, or localization, so its accessibility from China should be considered unknown. For teams based in China that need Chinese-language support, RMB payments, or integration with the local project management ecosystem, Feishu Projects, ZenTao, and PingCode may be worth evaluating as well. For more internationally oriented time tracking and invoicing, alternatives include Toggl, Harvest, Clockify, and Everhour.
