What it audits

Six audit kinds. One report shape.

Every audit produces a branded HTML report, a Word DOCX, a PDF, a VPAT 2.5 Accessibility Conformance Report, and a tailored manual test plan. Findings push straight to Jira as tickets.

01 / Web

Live web pages and full sites

Axe-core in a real headless browser plus heuristic review of the accessibility tree, focus trace, screenshots, and dynamic captures (320px reflow, text-spacing, hover, focus-obscured). Shadow DOM and iframes included. Authenticated audits via one-time session capture.

02 / Word

Microsoft Word documents

Parses the .docx for heading structure, list semantics, image alt text, hyperlink quality, table headers, language metadata, and title metadata. Findings reference page numbers and heading context so reviewers can Cmd-F to the exact location.

03 / PowerPoint

PowerPoint decks

Walks every slide for title placeholders, picture and chart alt text, hyperlink quality, table semantics, color-only emphasis, reading-order signals, and language declaration. Findings point at the exact slide and shape.

04 / Component

Component-scoped pages

Pass any CSS selector to scope axe to a single component on a live page. Page-level rules (one main, html lang, page title) are skipped automatically so the report only reports what the component is responsible for.

05 / Storybook

Storybook component libraries

Paste a Storybook URL. Accessor reads index.json, expands every story into its iframe URL, scans each in isolation, and rolls findings into one engagement-level report grouped by component. The killer feature for design system teams.

06 / Multi-page

Whole-site engagements

Paste a sitemap or a URL list. Audit every page in one engagement. The multi-page synthesis produces a single report with patterns identified across pages, a remediation roadmap, and per-page detail underneath.

Why this is different

The things other tools can't do.

01

Customer data stays on the customer's machine.

The scan runs locally in a headless Chromium spawned on your laptop. No telemetry, no phone-home, no SaaS backend. PIPEDA-compatible and deployable in Protected B environments alongside Azure OpenAI Canada Central as the heuristic provider.

02

Regression detection across audits.

When you re-audit the same URL, Accessor cross-checks Jira tickets that were closed against findings still present. A closed ticket with a persistent finding is flagged automatically. Catches the "patch the leaf node, ship the regression" pattern that closes tickets without fixing the component.

03

Reports that look like your firm wrote them.

Upload a logo and an organization name. Every report cover, footer, VPAT, and the dashboard rail rebrand instantly. Clients see your work, not ours. Agency tier and above.

04

Bring your own LLM.

The heuristic review step works with Claude (default), any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Azure OpenAI, Ollama, internal gateways), or a custom script. Required for any team where the default provider is off the menu for data-residency or procurement reasons.

Standards

Aligned with the standards your clients will actually be asked about.

Reports cite the specific Success Criteria each finding maps to. The VPAT 2.5 Accessibility Conformance Report references EN 301 549 and CAN-ASC-EN 301 549:2024, the standards cited by Canada's national service-delivery standard CAN-ASC-5.2.1:2026 (published May 2026). Federal procurement officers in Canada get a document that speaks their language.

  • WCAG 2.2 Level AA
    The international accessibility standard. Legal baseline in the UK, EU, Canada, and a growing number of US jurisdictions.
  • EN 301 549
    The European ICT accessibility standard referenced by EU public-sector procurement.
  • CAN-ASC-EN 301 549:2024
    Canada's adoption of EN 301 549, published by Accessibility Standards Canada.
  • CAN-ASC-5.2.1:2026
    Canada's national standard for accessible service delivery. The digital-services section references CAN-ASC-EN 301 549:2024.

What's in the box

Priced like one tool. Replaces five.

What an agency would otherwise buy separately to deliver the same kind of consulting-grade accessibility work. Annualised, mid-range pricing from each vendor's published or quoted ranges.

Tool
Cost per year
Covers
Enterprise browser-extension scanner5 testers, per-seat licensing
~$4,800
Scanner inside the browser. Reporting, ticketing, and design-system support are sold as separate products or aren't included.
Enterprise SaaS site monitoringSmall-agency tier
$5,000 to $15,000
Continuous site monitoring with SaaS-hosted reporting. Scan data lives on the vendor's infrastructure, which can complicate regulated and data-residency-sensitive deployments.
Design-time Figma a11y plugin5 designers, design phase only
~$1,250
Catches issues at design time inside Figma. Doesn't audit shipped code, generate procurement-ready VPATs, or push findings to issue trackers.
Per-project VPAT / ACR draftingExternal consulting fee, 4 reports / year
$2,000 to $8,000
External consultancy drafts ACRs from your raw scan data. Charged per report, slow turnaround.
Custom Jira integration build2 to 3 weeks engineering, plus maintenance
$8,000 to $20,000 (one-off)
If you want axe-shaped findings to land as native Jira tickets with severity and WCAG labels, someone has to build that. Plus ongoing maintenance as Jira and axe evolve.
Accessor AgencyUnlimited seats, unlimited clients
$3,999
Everything above in one tool, locally on your laptops. Web, Word, PowerPoint, Storybook, docs sites, multi-page. VPAT and Jira push built in. CAN-ASC aligned.

Comparison reflects publicly-quoted small-agency-tier pricing for representative tools in each category as of June 2026. Your mileage will vary by team size, vendor negotiation, and engagement volume. Accessor's full audit engine runs on every tier, including Solo at $149/year.
