Before you choose
Compare the ways you can pay
Check whether a tool has a free plan, a free trial or a paid model. Pricing notes can include a starting rate, a trial period or a statement that pricing is available on request.
Assistiv Labs shows a free plan, a 14-day trial and paid access starting at $19 per month. Binclusive lists a 7-day trial from $59 per month. Stark lists a free plan with paid access from $198 per user per year.
Check WCAG coverage
Use the WCAG version field to match a tool with the standard your project follows. A version listed by the maker gives you a clearer basis for comparing scan results.
Match scan scope and limits
Review scan scope and scan limit together. Scope describes what the tool can inspect, while a limit can affect how much you can scan in a plan or workflow. Scheduled scans can support recurring checks.
Fit the tool to your workflow
Review the workflow connections shown for each listing, including browser extensions, CI/CD integration and API access. Platform fields may identify web, API, extension, macOS, Windows or self-hosted deployments.
Browser extensions can support checks during browsing. Development workflows may connect through CI/CD integration or API access.
Choose a supported platform
Confirm where the tool runs before you commit. Listings can cover web services, APIs, extensions, desktop systems or self-hosted setups, and platform support can differ by product.
