What it is
AccessLint checks accessibility during development, on pull requests, and on live sites. Its WCAG 2.2 engine has 95 rules and a stated 53ms median audit across 5,000 real-world sites. Pull-request reviews inspect changed files and leave inline comments with the relevant rule and a suggested correction, but do not fail builds or block merges. Deploy-triggered scans require Starter or Pro, run asynchronously, and also do not synchronously fail builds. Saved user journeys can run daily, with email alerts for new violations or changes against a baseline. The toolkit provides checks for Playwright, Vitest, and Storybook, while pull-request reviews use a GitHub App. Starter and Pro include shareable read-only evidence reports with before-and-after screenshots of affected elements. Free covers public-repository pull-request reviews, one daily monitored flow, and violation trends. Starter costs $19 a month or $190 a year; Pro costs $349 a month or $3,490 a year. AccessLint says automated checks alone cannot make a site compliant.

Plans and prices
Strong points and limits
Strong points
- WCAG 2.2 engine includes 95 rules.
- Pull requests receive inline rule and fix comments.
- Daily flows alert about new violations or baseline changes.
- Starter and Pro offer shareable evidence reports.
Limits
- Pull-request reviews do not fail builds or block merges.
- Deploy-triggered scans are asynchronous.
- Deploy-triggered scans require Starter or Pro.
- Automated checks cannot make a site compliant.
Who it suits
AccessLint suits teams that want accessibility checks in development workflows, pull requests, and daily monitoring of saved journeys. Its reports may also help teams document an accessibility process, though they do not establish compliance.
Verdict
AccessLint combines development and pull-request checks with monitoring of saved user journeys. Its comments and reports can inform remediation, but scans do not block merges and automated checks do not make a site compliant.
