Applitools Contrast Advisor
What Applitools Contrast Advisor is
Applitools Contrast Advisor uses Visual AI to measure contrast for text, images, icons, and interface components, flagging results below a selected WCAG threshold. It runs inside existing Eyes checkpoints, so results appear in the Eyes dashboard without a separate test. Tests can use WCAG 2.0 or 2.1 at level AA or AAA, and flagged elements show measured contrast beside the selected minimum. Measurement is listed for web, mobile web, native mobile, and PDF documents. On native iOS and Android screens without a DOM, it measures rendered pixels; hidden or off-screen elements are excluded. Applitools says comparisons run locally in the customer environment, with snapshots not sent to an external model or used for training. Integrations include Selenium, Playwright, Appium, and Cypress among more than 60 tools. Starter includes contrast testing and standard support, costs $667 a month billed annually, and has a 14-day trial.
