AccessScan review
A straightforward web scanner with useful guidance, monitoring, and an affordable Pro tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AccessScan is a browser-based accessibility checker for site owners, developers, and compliance teams that need automated reviews of public webpage URLs. It checks WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criteria across images, forms, headings, links, buttons, navigation, ARIA, zoom, timing, and tables. Findings are ranked by impact and paired with plain-English fixes, while built-in tools support color contrast, alt text, heading structure, statements, checklists, and accessibility guidance.
The Free plan provides unlimited accessibility scans, WCAG 2.2 issue reporting, a statement generator in six EU languages, a hosted statement link, and WCAG and EAA guides. Pro costs €19 per month, billed monthly, and adds deep scans with color contrast and rendered checks, automatic monthly rescans, email alerts, a statement hosted on a custom domain, compliance history, change tracking, and priority support. That pricing gives smaller sites a clear path from occasional checks to scheduled monitoring without requiring a higher-tier commitment.
AccessScan is strongest when a team wants a focused, web-based starting point with readable remediation guidance and basic compliance tracking. Its scope remains narrower than a broader accessibility program: there are no verified integrations, API, manual review, or CI/CD capabilities, and the checks are automated. Choose it for straightforward scans, statements, and recurring website oversight; consider an alternative when your workflow depends on developer-pipeline integration, programmatic access, or expert human assessment.
