What WCAGpilot is
WCAGpilot is a web accessibility evaluation service covering WCAG 2.1 and checking websites against the EAA, EN 301 549 and country-specific laws. It combines automated scans, manual review tools and remediation guidance. Findings explain the issue, suggest an actionable fix and reference the relevant WCAG success criterion. WCAGpilot says its sampling follows WCAG-EM 2.0 and uses EN 301 549 as an accessibility standard. Automated findings, AI judgments and warnings for human review are separated, and the service says it does not replace human judgment. The no-signup Free plan evaluates a simplified sample of 5–10 public pages, with results public for 30 days. Checks include headings, accessibility statements, skip links, images and alt text, video and audio, and forms. Private Standard costs €1,200 a year for one company and one site. Portfolio costs €6,000 a year for multiple sites and teams, with team roles, VPAT/ACR documents and API access marked coming soon.
