AccessLint vs Scanpoof

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.

Scanpoof provides continuous website accessibility monitoring against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 Level AA, with daily crawling, remediation guidance, and a dated record of fixes. Its scanner checks sitemaps, robots.txt, the WordPress REST API, and live links. Issues come with plain-language explanations and code snippets; teams can track corrections, verify them on a later scan, and reopen them if they return. An optional AI Fix add-on suggests fixes and image alt text, and the WordPress plugin and API can apply suggestions for review before release. Scanpoof also monitors performance, SEO, broken links, security headers, uptime, and SSL certificate expiry. Reporting includes a VPAT 2.5 conformance report and timestamped evidence mapped to ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, and AODA. Its REST scan API and organization keys can fail CI builds when new critical issues appear. Starter is $29 a month; Growth is $99 a month; Agency is $299 a month. A free instant scan is available.
