What WCAG Toolkit is
WCAG Toolkit provides browser-based accessibility checking through WCAG Radar and a public-site scan, using WCAG 2.2 as its stated standard. Radar checks the page open in a browser with 50 checks covering WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 AA, while 29 checks are available free. The scan uses axe-core in a real browser, tests up to 10 publicly reachable pages and emails findings with a score from 0 to 100. It cannot reach login-protected or staging pages. Radar works as extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and its bookmarklet can run in browsers with a bookmarks bar, including Safari. Checks are grouped for content writers, designers and developers. Radar runs locally in the browser; scan URLs and results are retained for up to seven days. The maker cautions that automated scans find only 30 to 40 percent of page problems.
Who it suits
WCAG Toolkit suits teams and individuals checking public websites for accessibility issues, with role-specific checks for writers, designers and developers. It also offers organization subscriptions by seat count.

Verdict
WCAG Toolkit offers a free browser checker plus paid personal and organization licences, with scan reporting and role-focused guidance. Its own limits mean results should not be treated as a complete accessibility audit.
