What WCAGWatch is
WCAGWatch is a web and API service that scans public website pages for common accessibility issues and organizes findings against WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 criteria. Checks include missing alt text, contrast, form labels, unclear links, headings, and common ARIA problems. Recurring scans, issue history, and reports are supported. Reports can show affected pages, severity, selectors, WCAG references, and fix notes, with PDF and CSV exports depending on plan. The free plan costs nothing and provides a manual one-page scan, accessibility score, common checks, and preview report. Paid plans start at $19 a month. Starter monitors one website and 10 pages monthly; Pro covers three websites and 25 pages with weekly scans; Business covers 10 websites and 100 pages with weekly or daily scans; Agency covers 25 websites and 250 pages. Business and Agency include read-only repository sync, while Agency adds client repository setup.
Who it suits
WCAGWatch suits company website teams, client-site operators, storefronts, WordPress sites, and content platforms needing recurring public-page checks. It is intended to support human review rather than replace accessibility or legal judgment.
