Look, we’ve already got the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and European Accessibility Act (EAA) as extremely compelling (and legal) reasons for digital accessibility.
But why not turn your 10-week project into a 4-week project? Does making your website WCAG 2.1 AA conformant need to take 50 hours or can we lean that down to 20?
We actually can with Accessibility Tracker. Here’s what you can print or email your boss as the business case for using Accessibility Tracker vs. other software or platforms.

Executive Summary
We’ve reviewed the top 10 accessibility platforms and software in the marketplace, looking for a platform that would help us track, fix, and maintain accessibility without overcomplicating the process or inflating costs. After reviewing the best software options available, Accessibility Tracker stands out as the most practical and complete accessibility platform for our organization. Here’s why:
Tracker Benefits
Cost-Effective and Scalable
We can start with a single project for $19/month and scale up from there when we want to go beyond working on our website. The pricing is completely reasonable and they’ll let us add projects or AI tokens if we need more, but don’t want a bigger plan.
Other software in the market that doesn’t even meet our needs is $2,500/year and up. For better platforms, you basically have to purchase an enterprise subscription that includes more services and support, but starts at a $15,000+ annual price tag.
In contrast, Accessibility Tracker is subscription-based and scalable, so we only pay for what we need and there isn’t a long-term contract. We can sign up for a monthly subscription or purchase a larger subscription at a discount.
For the level of detail, built-in AI, and remediation tracking, there’s nothing else remotely close at this price point.
Audit-Based
Most platforms give you automated scan results and scans are limited to flagging 25% of WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria. Accessibility Tracker takes a different approach: it’s built around real and complete WCAG audit reports. We can upload and manage all audit issues directly in the dashboard.
This means all of our analytics and progress reports are based on the actual accessibility of our website. With Accessibility Tracker, we can:
- Upload manual audit reports with detailed issue listings
- Track progress across different digital assets and URLs
- Assign and filter issues by severity, category, or success criteria
- Mark issues as resolved and verify with follow-up testing
This completely eliminates the need for using Google Sheets or an Excel spreadsheet and/or other tracking tools.
Built-in AI for Faster Remediation
AI is built-in to Accessibility Tracker which means we won’t need to use ChatGPT, Google Gemini, etc. With the AI inside the dashboard, it’s preloaded with the issue data from the audit. Also, there are also 5 AI tools which essentially give us the prompts we need for the AI requests we’d have:
- Simplify and Explain – Translates technical problems into plain English
- Detailed Technical Answer – Gives HTML, ARIA, and JavaScript code fixes
- Alternative Approaches – Suggests possible workarounds for resolving issues
- WCAG Standards Tool – Explains the WCAG success criterion requirement
- Custom Analysis – Lets you ask specific questions directly related to the issue
This means we save on billable hours for technical accessibility support and our team spends less time on fixing issues. Also, this helps our developers gain experience and learn about accessibility as they’re working on the project.
Designed for Teams and Collaboration
Accessibility Tracker supports how teams actually work. Multiple stakeholders can be involved in a project—auditors, developers, designers, content editors, project leads—without losing visibility or control.
- Issues can be assigned to specific team members
- Notes can be added to individual issues
- Status tracking and history for accountability
Whether we’re working with contractors or taking care of everything in-house, we’ll all be using a centralized hub for the accessibility project.
This means more accountability, less errors, and faster progress.
Real Remediation and Validation
Accessibility Tracker is designed to efficiently resolve issues and help organizations reach WCAG conformance. Our team can mark an issue as fixed, but then we can have the auditor validate the fixes and check them off as successfully resolved. For example, if we hire Accessible.org to audit our website, their auditor can collaborate on our project and validate fixes.
All we need to do is reach the point where all issues have been validated and the project is completed.
Why This Is the Best Value for Our Company
Accessibility Tracker gives us exactly what we need:
- Manages the entire accessibility process, from audit to fix
- Reduces wasted hours reliance on expensive consultants
- Fits the way we actually work, with real project workflows
- Gives us built-in AI support that’s meaningful and effective
Instead of juggling multiple tools or paying for software we don’t use, Tracker gives us everything in one place—backed by real accessibility expertise.
