Frequently Asked Questions
How does CompliaScan compare to other accessibility scanners?
CompliaScan offers a unique combination of features at competitive pricing. Unlike overlay solutions like accessiBe or UserWay, CompliaScan performs real code-level scanning. Compared to enterprise tools like AudioEye, CompliaScan is significantly more affordable. And unlike free tools like WAVE, CompliaScan provides multi-page scanning, monitoring, API access, and PDF reports.
Is CompliaScan free to use?
Yes. CompliaScan offers a completely free tier that lets you scan any page without creating an account. You see all issues with severity breakdown and fix details on your top 3 issues. Paid plans start at $69/mo for fix details on every issue, AI recommendations, multi-page scanning, monitoring, and PDF reports.
What makes CompliaScan different from accessibility overlays?
Accessibility overlays (like accessiBe and UserWay) add a widget to your site that attempts to fix issues on the fly. However, overlays don't fix the underlying code, can conflict with real assistive technologies, and have faced criticism from the disability community. CompliaScan takes a different approach: it scans your actual code, identifies real issues, and provides specific fix instructions so developers can make permanent, genuine improvements.
Does CompliaScan offer an API for automated testing?
Yes. Pro and Business plans include full REST API access. You can trigger scans programmatically, retrieve results as JSON, and integrate accessibility testing into CI/CD pipelines. This is ideal for development teams who want to catch accessibility regressions before they reach production.
How many accessibility rules does CompliaScan check?
CompliaScan checks over 100 accessibility rules using axe-core plus custom rules. This covers WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criteria including color contrast, alt text, form labels, heading structure, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, and more. Enhanced scanning features include Lighthouse performance audits, heading maps, contrast analysis, color vision deficiency simulation, and screen reader readiness checks.
