A11yScope review
A low-cost web scanner for recurring WCAG 2.1 AA checks on small sites.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
A11yScope is a web-based accessibility scanner for website owners, businesses, agencies, consultants, and teams that need recurring monitoring. It scans public pages and websites for automated WCAG 2.1 AA issues using axe-core and a rendered browser, then provides fix guidance with copy-paste code snippets. Public-page scanning is available without sign-up, while paid plans add broader crawling and monitoring capabilities. The product also offers guidance for reviewing WCAG 2.2 criteria that require manual assessment.
The pricing structure suits smaller sites that want a low-cost starting point. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes WCAG 2.1 AA automated checks with fix guidance, plus a PDF and emailed report for every scan. Starter costs $10 per month and adds unlimited page scans, one monitored site rescanned weekly, full-site crawls, and full scan history. Pro costs $49 per month and adds weekly full-site crawls and scan history across all sites. Agency costs $149 per month and adds white-label PDF reports and larger full-site crawls. A 7-day free trial is available.
A11yScope’s strongest fit is recurring browser-based monitoring rather than a broader developer workflow. JavaScript-rendered scanning helps assess pages that require browser execution, and scheduled rescans, reports, and scan history support ongoing review. Agency teams can use white-label PDF reports, while small site owners can start with the free plan or $10 monthly tier. Teams that require a browser extension, API, CI/CD workflow, or integrations should choose a different tool. Automated results also work best as part of an accessibility process that includes manual review where WCAG 2.2 criteria require it.
