A11y Check vs AccessLint
Both stand on website accessibility tools. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan APIExtensionWeb
Choose A11y Check for free site reviews that combine automated findings with instructions for human checks. It suits teams that need report exports and a KWCAG workflow; treat its results as part of an evaluation, since automated checks cover only some issues.

AccessLint combines pull-request feedback with daily monitoring and evidence reports on paid plans. Its checks can identify issues, but they do not block merges or establish compliance.
