Equalify review
A flexible option for teams auditing websites and PDFs with self-hosted control.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Equalify is an open-source accessibility platform for organizations that need to scan and monitor websites and PDF documents. It supports site-wide scanning, sitemap inputs, recurring audits, single-URL checks, issue and blocker tracking, dashboards, historical trend reporting, CSV exports, and email notifications. Teams can use the platform through web, API, or self-hosted deployments. Equalify Inc. also offers managed hosting and support, while the project is maintained and developed with the University of Illinois Chicago’s Digital Accessibility Team.
Its strongest fit is for teams that want ongoing visibility rather than one-time checks. Recurring accessibility audits, sitemap scanning, historical trends, and tracking provide a workflow for following issues over time. The platform also connects with axe-core and WordPress, supports API access, and includes Azure AD SSO. Optional integrations with AWS Bedrock and optional AI-assisted issue summaries or remediation add another workflow for teams that want help interpreting or addressing findings. The published product details reference WCAG 2.2.
Deployment and commercial fit deserve consideration. Organizations can deploy Equalify in their own AWS account, while managed hosting is available from Equalify Inc.; self-hosting therefore suits teams that want infrastructure control and can manage that environment. Pricing is handled through contact sales rather than a published tier structure. Equalify should appeal to accessibility teams responsible for websites and PDFs that need scheduled monitoring, issue tracking, and reporting. Teams seeking a narrowly focused single-page scanner or a straightforward self-service subscription may prefer a simpler tool.
