A11y Pulse
An automated platform that scans a website every day for WCAG accessibility violations and alerts the team when new issues appear, instead of relying on a one-time audit.

Description
Making a website usable for people with disabilities is a legal requirement in a lot of places now, but most teams only find out they're non-compliant when a client, auditor, or lawsuit points it out. A11y Pulse is built to catch that earlier: it scans your site automatically, every day, and tells you exactly what's broken and how to fix it — instead of accessibility being a one-time audit that goes stale the moment you ship a new page.
It runs automated WCAG 2.1/2.2 scans (plus Section 508 and EN 301 549) across every page of a site, including ones behind a login via scripted authentication, and sends alerts to Slack, Teams, or email when new issues appear. Reports can be exported as white-labeled PDFs for agencies delivering to clients, and there's an MCP server integration so AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) can pull accessibility findings directly into a fix workflow. Pricing runs from $19/month (50 pages, 1 site) to $499/month (10,000 pages), with unlimited rescans on every tier and a 1-month free trial.
💬 Our review
The short version: for a team that currently treats accessibility as an annual audit rather than an ongoing concern, A11y Pulse's $19/month entry price and daily automated scans make continuous monitoring affordable in a way it wasn't a few years ago.
Like every automated scanner, A11y Pulse only catches an estimated 30-50% of real accessibility issues — things like whether alt text actually describes an image meaningfully still need a human. Compared to enterprise incumbents like Siteimprove, which cover similar ground at a much higher price point and with more manual-testing services bundled in, A11y Pulse's appeal is being built specifically to be affordable for smaller teams and agencies rather than enterprise procurement. For a small-to-mid site wanting continuous compliance monitoring without an enterprise contract, it's a reasonable choice; organizations in regulated industries needing certified manual audits alongside automation should budget for a service like Siteimprove or a dedicated accessibility consultancy too.
