Free Accessibility Scanner

Yes. Five scans a month, no account and no credit card, and you get the same score, letter grade, and violation list a paid scan returns. The counter resets on the 1st. If five a month isn't enough, Starter is $29/month for 100 scans plus daily monitoring that re-scans your pages and emails you when a new violation appears.

The scan is refused until the 1st of the next month, when your five reset at no cost — nothing expires and no card is required to keep using the free tier. Switching browsers or clearing cookies does not reset the count: for visitors without an account we meter free scans per network address, so everyone on one office or shared connection draws from the same five. That is the usual reason a first-time visitor hits the limit immediately, and it's the case Starter's 100 scans a month is priced for.

We load your page in a real headless browser and run axe-core against it, the same open-source engine used by Deque and built into browser devtools. That covers WCAG 2.1 A and AA rules — color contrast, missing alt text, form labels, ARIA misuse, heading structure, keyboard focus order, and more.

No automated tool can certify ADA compliance. Automated testing reliably catches roughly a third of WCAG issues; the rest need manual review with a keyboard and a screen reader. Treat the scan as the fastest way to find and fix the machine-detectable failures that show up in demand letters first.

Most pages finish in a few seconds. Large pages with heavy JavaScript can take longer because we wait for the page to finish rendering before testing it — the results reflect what a real visitor sees, not just the initial HTML.

The free scanner only reaches publicly accessible URLs. Authenticated pages, localhost, and IP-restricted staging environments can't be reached by our crawler. Paid plans support scheduled scans of multiple public pages across a site.

We store the scan result — the URL, score, and violation list — so you can revisit the report at its own link. We don't keep a copy of your page's content or take any action on your site.
