The record

Validation profiles: The validator checks PDFs against WCAG 2.1 AA or strict PDF/UA-1.
Audit evidence: Reports include verdicts, errors and warnings, engine version, and the file's SHA-256 fingerprint.
Finding locations: Findings identify the WCAG success criterion, severity, occurrences, structure path, page number, PDF object, and text snippet.
Upload limit: Users can validate single files or batches up to 200 MB, or provide a public document URL.
Domain discovery: Free PDF discovery crawls robots.txt, sitemaps, and pages to find documents on a domain.
Scheduled monitoring: Groups can be revalidated daily, weekly, or monthly with alerts for regressions, fetch failures, and exhausted credits.
Credit charging: One credit covers each started 100 pages, aborted validations charge one credit, and unchanged documents are not recharged.
API integrations: The HTTP validation API uses an API key and can serve CI pipelines, document-management systems, and custom applications with JSON or HTML reports.
Languages: Stored validations render reports in English or French with official French WCAG criterion names.
Privacy control: A privacy toggle can omit text snippets from findings for confidential documents.
Self-hosting: Enterprise deployments can run a stateless validation API container that stores nothing or a self-hosted monitoring appliance inside the network.
Agency workspaces: Accessibility agencies and resellers can use isolated client organizations with shared credit pools and audit-logged workspace switching.
Support: Starter includes email support and Pro includes priority support.
Target sectors: The product is presented for insurance, banking, healthcare, government, utilities, and accessibility agencies.
Price from: $19/mo
