SortSite review
Broad automated accessibility and site-quality checks, with CI scanning in Developer.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SortSite is an automated website testing product from PowerMapper Software for web developers, enterprises, consultancies, professional testers, and software engineers. It crawls entire websites, folders, or individual pages and evaluates accessibility, browser compatibility, broken links, spelling, web standards, search optimization, and usability. Accessibility coverage includes WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2, and Section 508. The product is available as Windows and macOS desktop software, with an OnDemand web application also offered.
Pricing is organized into three desktop license tiers. Standard costs $149 per user and provides the entry point for automated website checks. Professional costs $349 per user, while Developer costs $849 per user. A 30-day trial is available, and there is no free plan. The Developer Edition adds command-line scanning for CI workflows, making it the relevant tier for teams that want accessibility and quality checks within development pipelines. Published capabilities also include scheduled scans, issue dashboards, drill-down reports, affected-page lists, source views, and how-to-fix help.
SortSite’s main strength is breadth: one crawl can cover accessibility alongside broken links, server errors, missing images, SSL, HTML, XHTML, CSS, related web standards, and mobile browser compatibility for iPhone, iPad, and Android. That makes it a practical fit for teams responsible for overall website quality rather than accessibility alone. The product is less suited to organizations seeking a workflow centered on manual review, and teams needing CI scanning must choose Developer. Choose SortSite when broad automated coverage and scheduled reporting matter; choose a more specialized option when manual accessibility assessment is the primary requirement.
