Bill for the Work You Ship With AI
per.hr records your Claude Code sessions: your time, agent time, compute and what shipped, on the right client and Plan item. Confirm them, and they're ready to invoice.
In beta with Claude Code. Request access, and we'll turn it on for your per.hr account.
Capture
Your Sessions Log Themselves
Work in Claude Code as usual. Each session arrives in per.hr's To Review, matched to the client, project and Plan item, with what it took and what shipped.
- Your time and agent time, kept apart: three agents for an hour is one hour of yours
- Compute from Claude Code's own usage numbers
- Commits and pull requests attached to the work
- Nothing is billed until you confirm it

Logs 1.40 h on PAY-214 (estimate 6.00 h).
Your Time
Counted the Way You Worked
Your time is the span you were attending the session: prompting, reading, testing and supervising agents. Breaks are left out on their own.
- A gap of more than 15 minutes with nothing running is a break
- /perhr:pause stops the clock for anything you don't bill
- The plugin's own commands are never counted as prompts
- Sessions past midnight show both dates and the breaks left out

Plan Items
Work Against Your Plan
Tell the plugin which Plan item you're on, or let your branch name do it. When one stretch of work covers several items, give it a range or a list.
- /perhr:start PAY-214, or a branch like feat/pay-214-reset
- Several items: PAY-214:216 or PAY-214+PAY-220
- Your time splits by estimate, adjustable before you confirm
- /perhr:status shows your time, agent time, cost and how much of the estimate is used

Billing
Each Client Pays Their Way
Choose, client by client, whether AI-assisted work bills by your time or by delivered effort, and how much of the work they see.
- Delivered effort: a finished item bills its agreed hours, however fast it was built
- Your time: your hours at your rate, as with any other work
- Compute is shown on the receipt and never billed

Questions
How Do I Get Access?
AI-assisted development is in beta. Request access with the email on your per.hr account, and we'll turn it on. Then follow the setup on Configure → Data → Claude Code, or read the guide.
Which Agents Does It Work With?
Claude Code, through the per.hr plugin. With the per.hr GitHub App, commits and pull requests attach to the session that made them, whichever tool you used.
How Is My Time Counted?
From your first prompt to the end of the session, including the time you spend reading, testing and thinking, and the time agents work while you're there. A gap of more than 15 minutes with nothing running is a break and is left out. Pause recording for anything you don't bill. Agent time is counted on its own and never added to yours.
Will My Client See That I Used AI?
You choose, client by client. Invoices can show a receipt under each line (your time, agent time, compute and what shipped) and a link to the work behind the invoice. If a client doesn't allow AI-assisted work, mark it, and sessions on their projects can't be confirmed.
Do I Earn Less Because AI Made Me Faster?
Bill by delivered effort, and each finished Plan item bills the hours you agreed for it, however fast the agents made it. Your earnings per hour of your own time go up.
Does per.hr Read My Code or Prompts?
Your prompts, code and files stay on your computer. per.hr receives session and turn times, the repo and branch, and, if you record compute, the model, tokens, cost and commit and line counts. Summaries are the ones you write or approve.
Does It Work for Teams?
Yes. In a team workspace, each developer's sessions go to their own To Review on the team's projects and are logged at their rate, and submitted or approved timesheet weeks stay locked. Owners and admins see the whole team's totals in the AI-Assisted report. Each developer requests access for their own account.
Can I Use It on My Own Projects?
Yes. Put your own work on an internal project, and per.hr shows what each item took: your time, agent time and compute.
Try It on Your Next Session
Request access, install the plugin, and your next Claude Code session arrives ready to confirm.
