Accessibility checks can be part of a site review, a recurring maintenance routine, or a development workflow. Compared on scan scope and scan limit, these tools also vary in scheduled scans, CI/CD integration, API access, and browser extensions. The listed WCAG version helps you compare their stated standards coverage. WAVE, AccessLint, and A11yInspect are among the options to examine. Consider whether a free plan is available and what the paid starting price is, then focus on the scanning coverage and workflow features that fit how you maintain your website.
