Why developers choose ScanAble
Powered by axe-core
The same engine used by Google, Microsoft, and Deque. WCAG 2.2 Level AA with best practices.
Weighted scoring
Not just pass/fail. Score 0-100 weighted by severity — critical issues count 10x more than minor ones.
Simple auth
Bearer token in the header. No OAuth complexity. Generate a key with one API call.
Works offline
CLI runs locally with Puppeteer — no API key needed. Use API mode for speed when you want it.
5x cheaper at scale
Most accessibility APIs charge $0.025-0.12 per scan. ScanAble starts at $0.006/scan at volume. Same data, better price.
CI-native
Exit code 1 when score drops below threshold. JSON output for machine parsing. Built for pipelines.
