A11yMeter review
A practical pay-per-scan checker for small sites that need page-level WCAG findings.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
A11yMeter is a browser-based website accessibility checker for product, engineering, and agency teams. It audits public URLs with browser automation and axe-core, then reports issues such as missing alternative text and color-contrast problems. Findings are tagged to WCAG 2.1 and include impact, selectors, fixes, PDF export, and Jira-ready ticket drafts. The Chrome extension extends scanning to pages that require login, making the product suited to small sites and focused page reviews rather than broad, continuous accessibility programs.
The pricing model is straightforward. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes a basic report, WCAG issue summary, keyboard review checklist, PDF report export, Jira-ready ticket sample, and recent scan dashboard. The Pay as you go plan costs $1 per scan, with purchased scan credits applying one credit to one scan. That usage-based structure fits teams that need occasional checks without a recurring subscription, while the free tier provides a way to review the reporting workflow before purchasing credits.
A11yMeter’s strongest feature is the combination of automated findings and actionable issue context: WCAG tags, impact, selectors, recommendations, and ticket drafts give teams material to move from detection toward remediation. The keyboard checklist adds a manual review prompt, and the vendor states that automated scanning is only a starting point; complete accessibility work still requires manual keyboard, screen-reader, form, and workflow testing. Choose A11yMeter for affordable, page-level checks and login-gated review through the extension. Teams needing site crawling, scheduled monitoring, CI/CD workflows, or API access should choose a broader accessibility platform instead.
