What COMPLYFirst is
COMPLYFirst is accessibility testing software for websites and applications from Odellus, based in Largo, Maryland. It combines automated verification with manual testing. The Professional edition tests Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 requirements, automatically crawls every page on a domain, and transfers scan findings into its manual testing tool. That tool includes more than 50 manual testing features and supports collaborative, incremental page testing. Professional creates portable HTML compliance reports with remediation suggestions and code samples for failing elements. A tamper-resistant repository records activities and results for each tested page and time-stamps testing work. Element-V exports results to JSON, Excel, and custom formats, stores sessions locally rather than on a server or cloud, and includes a color contrast analyzer. Editions include Professional, Standard, and Enterprise Monitor; Enterprise Monitor adds multi-domain verification and enterprise reporting. The free Element-V subscription costs nothing, runs on Windows, and offers unlimited website accessibility scanning.
