Audit Club is a membership that gives you a full WCAG 2.1 AA audit for a one-time $299 membership fee plus $199 per month. Instead of paying for your entire audit upfront, we audit your website page by page each month, and your membership includes 5 hours of technical support and full access to the Accessibility Tracker platform.
This is not an automated scan subscription. This is a subscription for a 100% fully manual evaluation + issue validation.
Here’s how Audit Club works.
| Key Point | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Membership Fee | $299, one time, due when you join along with your first monthly payment. |
| Monthly Membership | $199 per month, starting in month one. Cancel anytime. |
| Month One Audit | We audit your header, navigation, and footer plus your first page or screen. |
| Audit Pace | One page or screen per month for the first 5 months, then two per month after that. |
| Audit Standard | WCAG 2.1 AA. All audit work is 100% manually conducted by Accessible.org. |
| Technical Support | 1 hour accrues each month, up to 5 hours total. Unused hours bank while you remain a member. Additional hours are $195 per hour. |
| Accessibility Tracker | Included with membership. All findings, evidence, and remediation tracking live in your Tracker account. $19 per month if you continue after membership ends. |
| Qualification | Websites with an audit scope of $1,500 or less qualify at standard Audit Club pricing. Larger scopes qualify with a small adjustment spread across the first 3 months. |
How Does Audit Club Work?
Audit Club spreads a full audit across monthly deliveries. Each month, our team conducts WCAG 2.1 AA testing on the next page or screen in your queue. Every finding is documented in Accessibility Tracker, where you can track issues, assign fixes, and validate remediation.
Here is the sequence:
- We scope your website and present your full audit cost.
- You choose how to pay: purchase your audit upfront or join Audit Club.
- In month one, we audit your header, navigation, and footer plus your first page or screen.
- In months two through five, we audit one page or screen per month.
- From month six forward, we audit two pages or screens per month.
- Once your full scope is covered, monthly deliveries rotate to retesting fixed issues, regression checks, and coverage of new pages.
We prioritize your highest traffic and highest risk pages first. Checkout flows, forms, search, and account screens typically come before informational pages. You can adjust the queue in Tracker at any time.
What Do I Get Each Month?
Every month of membership includes:
- WCAG 2.1 AA testing of the scheduled page(s) or screen(s), including keyboard testing and screen reader testing
- Documented findings in Accessibility Tracker with issue descriptions and remediation guidance
- 1 hour of technical support added to your bank
- Ongoing access to Tracker, which tracks your issues, fixes, and validation status
- A running scope statement showing exactly which pages have been audited to date
What Evaluation Methodologies Are Included?
Every page or screen audited through Audit Club is evaluated with the same methodologies used in our standard audits. All Accessible.org auditors are certified DHS Trusted Testers. Nothing is scaled back. Each monthly delivery includes:
- Keyboard testing: Full keyboard operation of every interactive element, including tab order, visible focus, and detection of keyboard traps.
- Screen reader testing: Testing with screen reader software to confirm content, labels, and interactive elements are announced correctly.
- Color contrast analysis: Measurement of text contrast and non-text contrast for UI components and graphical objects against WCAG 2.1 AA thresholds.
- Code inspection: Review of the underlying HTML and ARIA, including semantic structure, headings, landmarks, form labels, and name, role, and value for custom components.
- Content evaluation: Review of alternative text, link purpose, page titles, instructions, and error messaging.
- Zoom and reflow testing: Evaluation at increased zoom levels and narrow viewports to confirm content reflows without loss of functionality.
- State and interaction testing: Evaluation of dynamic content such as menus, modals, accordions, form validation, and status messages.
- Mobile evaluation: Testing of responsive and mobile views where they fall within your scoped pages and screens.
Every issue found through these methodologies is documented in Accessibility Tracker with the WCAG 2.1 AA success criterion it maps to and guidance for remediation.
How Much Does Audit Club Cost?
Audit Club is a one-time $299 membership fee plus $199 per month. Your first monthly payment is due when you join, so your starting payment is $498. There is no contract. You can cancel anytime.
Over a full year, membership totals $2,687 and includes:
- Full audit coverage of up to 19 pages or screens plus your header, navigation, and footer ($1,500+ in audit value)
- 5 hours of technical support ($975 in support value)
- Accessibility Tracker membership ($228 per year in platform value)
All of it arrives without an upfront lump sum, and your audit work begins in month one.
Is Audit Club Like Leasing an Audit?
Yes, that is the easiest way to think about it. When you lease a car, you drive the full car now and pay monthly instead of paying the full price upfront. Audit Club works the same way. You get real WCAG 2.1 AA audit work starting in month one, and payments spread out over the year instead of arriving as one lump sum.
There is one important difference. A car lease ends with you returning the car. Audit Club is closer to lease to own. Every monthly payment adds permanent audit coverage to your website. The findings, documentation, and remediation guidance delivered each month are yours to keep, even if you cancel. Nothing gets returned, and nothing gets taken away.
That structure is why Audit Club can be month to month with no contract. Each payment covers real audit work delivered that month, so you are never locked in and never behind.
Who Is Audit Club For?
We built Audit Club with small business owners in mind. Website accessibility lawsuits and demand letters under the ADA continue to target small businesses, and many owners know they need a real audit but cannot justify the full cost all at once. Before Audit Club, those owners had two bad options: pay thousands upfront or install an overlay widget that does not fix the underlying WCAG 2.1 AA issues. Now there is a more affordable path that involves real audit work.
Consider an illustrative case. A small business owner runs an online store on Shopify with a homepage, product pages, a cart, and a checkout flow. She has read about ADA lawsuits against businesses like hers and wants to reduce her risk, but a full audit quote is out of reach this quarter.
She joins Audit Club, paying the $299 membership fee plus her first month of $199. In month one, we audit her header, navigation, and footer along with her checkout, the page where accessibility barriers create the most legal exposure. In month two, we audit her cart. Month three, her product page template. Each month, her Tracker account tracks new findings, and she uses her banked support hours to help her developer fix issues correctly. By month six, her highest risk pages have been audited to WCAG 2.1 AA, her fixes are validated in Tracker, and she can show documented, ongoing accessibility work. After joining, she never pays more than $199 in a month.
That documented, ongoing effort matters. A business that can show a real audit in progress, tracked remediation, and validated fixes is in a much stronger position than a business with nothing but a widget.
What If My Audit Scope Is More Than $1,500?
You can still join. If your website’s audit scope prices above $1,500, the difference is divided by 3 and added to your first 3 monthly payments. After month three, you pay the standard $199 per month.
For example, if your audit scope is $2,100, the difference is $600. That adds $200 to each of your first 3 monthly payments. When you join, you would pay $698 ($299 membership fee plus a $399 first month). Months two and three would be $399, and every month after that would be $199.
This keeps Audit Club open to larger and more complex website scopes while keeping the monthly membership price the same for everyone after the first 3 months.
What Is Included in Technical Support?
Technical support means direct help from our team with remediating the issues documented in your audit. You can use your hours for:
- Validation of your team’s fixes
- Explanations of specific WCAG 2.1 AA issues found in your audit
- Guidance on how to fix issues in your code or content
- Review of your fixes before validation
Hours accrue at 1 per month for your first 5 months of membership, up to 5 hours total. Unused hours bank as long as you remain a member. If you need more time, additional hours are available at $195 per hour, and purchased hours never expire.
Is Accessibility Tracker Included?
Yes. Accessibility Tracker is included with your Audit Club membership at no extra cost. All of your audit findings are delivered inside Tracker, where your team can track remediation progress, upload evidence, and validate fixes. Tracker also tracks your cumulative audit coverage so you always know exactly what has been tested.
If you end your membership, you can keep your Tracker account for $19 per month so your audit history and tracking data stay intact.
Can I Cancel Anytime?
Yes. Audit Club is month to month. There is no contract and no cancellation fee. A missed payment is treated as a cancellation. If you cancel or stop paying, you keep everything already delivered in your audit, and you can continue Tracker access for $19 per month. Banked support hours are a membership benefit and expire at cancellation. Purchased hours remain available until used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Audit Club count for VPAT services?
No. An Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) requires audit work completed in quick succession so the report reflects your website at a single point in time. Because Audit Club audits are conducted over many months, the findings cannot support a VPAT. If you need a VPAT, our standard VPAT services are the correct path.
Is this a real manual audit or an automated scan?
Audit Club is a real manual audit. Accessible.org audits are always 100% fully manually conducted, including keyboard and screen reader testing. Automated scans cannot detect most WCAG 2.1 AA issues, which is why we do not sell scans as audits.
What counts as a page or screen?
A page is a distinct URL or template on your website. A screen is a distinct state or view within an application, such as a logged-in dashboard or a checkout step. Complex pages with many components may be covered across more than one monthly delivery so that testing depth stays consistent.
What happens after my whole website has been audited?
Your membership shifts to maintenance. Monthly deliveries rotate to retesting remediated issues, regression checks on previously audited pages, and audits of new pages you publish. Your Tracker account continues tracking everything.
Can I upgrade to a standard audit later?
Yes. If you want your full audit completed at once, contact us and we will apply a credit from your recent membership payments toward standard audit pricing.
Can I use WCAG 2.2 AA standard for my audit?
Yes. Auditing to WCAG 2.2 AA adds 10% to your scoped audit cost. Like the scope adjustment, this amount is divided across your first 3 monthly payments. After month three, you pay the standard $199 per month.
What if I don’t pay?
A missed payment is treated as a cancellation. Your membership ends, audit work stops, and banked support hours expire. Everything already delivered stays yours, and you can keep Tracker access for $19 per month. If you want to re-join later, you start over as a new member, including the $299 membership fee.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Audit Club is month to month with no contract and no cancellation fee. Everything already delivered in your audit stays yours. A missed monthly payment is treated as a cancellation, so there is nothing to formally cancel. If you simply stop paying, your membership ends.
