What makes Accessibility Cloud different

Broadest automated coverage
ACAI's multi-engine approach (AI + proprietary rules + axe-core + QualWeb) tests more WCAG criteria than single-engine tools. Unlimited on-demand scanning at up to 10,000 pages per hour, with support for authenticated pages, user flows, documents, images, and mobile apps (launching 2026).

Integrated accessibility auditing
The most complete auditing toolkit on the market. Full EN 301 549 support and multi-guideline coverage, with assisted testing, live audits, guided tests, automatic sample selection, custom rules, templates, snippets, and how-to guides.

Culture of customer obsession
Roadmaps are driven by direct customer feedback. Continuous dialogue with monitoring agencies, enterprises, governments, and individual auditors shapes how products evolve.

What is ACAI?

ACAI is Accessibility Cloud’s digital accessibility testing technology. Rather than relying on a single test engine, ACAI combines multiple components into a unified testing framework capable of driving other established test technologies, such as axe-core and QualWeb, alongside its own purpose-built tools.

ACAI utilizes multiple engines, tests with its own rules, and adds artificial intelligence driven tests on top, delivering unparalleled WCAG coverage in a single scan.

ACAI is available for free in all Accessibility Cloud plans, including the free plan. Free plan users have access to all ACAI components except AI-powered tests.

Architecture and Components

ACAI combines internal components from Accessibility Cloud with established open-source test engines.

Internal components

ACAI-AI uses AI to detect context-dependent issues like misleading alt text and language mismatches.

ACAI-engine is a new rule-based engine by Accessibility Cloud, extending WCAG coverage beyond existing engines.

ACAI-mobile brings ACAI testing to mobile platforms. Launching later in 2026.

ACAI-API enables programmatic testing and CI/CD integration without the Accessibility Cloud interface. Launching later in 2026.

External components

axe-core is an open-source engine maintained by Deque Systems. QualWeb is an open-source engine developed at ISCTE, University Institute of Lisbon.

ACAI drives these external engines as part of its testing process, combining their results with its own for broader, more accurate coverage.

One platform, two superpowers

ACAI, our artificial intelligence, revolutionizes digital accessibility testing by making AI and human expertise work together to achieve much more.

Automated tools catch a wide range of issues, but cannot replicate the judgment of a real person navigating a website with a screen reader. Accessibility Cloud keeps human testing essential while making it easier. It handles large-scale detection and helps focus efforts on nuanced, experience-driven testing that only people can do.

Behind every accessibility barrier is a real person, and behind every solution should be real human understanding.

That's why we built Accessibility Cloud with a human-first philosophy.

Our approach: Human expertise leads. AI accelerates.

Meaningful digital accessibility requires nuanced human judgment. AI is a powerful ally, but not a substitute. Accessibility Cloud combines AI-powered scanning, monitoring, and remediation suggestions with human-led auditing, strategy, and testing.

Technology and AI handles the heavy lifting. Accessibility Cloud continuously scans web, documents, and mobile apps (launching 2026) using AI and multiple scanning engines, identifies violations, suggests fixes, and monitors for regressions.

Humans provide the clarity. The platform helps review, prioritize, and document problems, suggest solutions, and collaborate using your existing processes.

A global network of accessibility experts. Certified partners bring localized expertise, covering regional compliance, language, and cultural nuances.

Together, they deliver results. Superior detection, human expertise, actual results.

CMS agnostic and requires no integration

Accessibility Cloud can be used with any website, built with any CMS or technology.

It requires no integration and therefore doesn’t slow your site down.

Built with GDPR in mind

Accessibility Cloud is a cloud-based service with data centers located all within Sweden; Gävle and Stockholm.

Accessibility Cloud doesn’t collect, process or store any personally identifiable data.

Accessibility Cloud only has 4 sub-processors, all of which are also located within Europe:

• Microsoft Azure, Sweden
• HubSpot, Germany
• Auth0, Germany
• Mailjet, Germany

Authentication

Accessibility Cloud supports strong passwords, Login with Google, and Login with Microsoft. All paid plans include MFA (multi factor authentication). Enterprise Edition supports SSO (single sign-on).

Language options

Accessibility Cloud offers multiple languages in the user interface: English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

Coverage & usefulness

Accessibility Cloud is revolutionising the way organisations test for web accessibility and maintain compliance across numerous guidelines and regulations, such as WCAG, EN 301 549, European Web Accessibility Directive, Section 508, ADA, PDF/UA and more.

This means less time dealing with thousands of rows of findings, not maintaining spreadsheets, not going-back and forth with consultants and reports of different systems, and not trying to decipher what needs to be done and by whom.

With Accessibility Cloud, you spend only a fraction of the time compared to other testing solutions and web governance suites and accomplish so much more, allowing you to focus on delivering accessible and innovative web experiences.

Cross-functional collaboration

Accessibility Cloud is designed to cooperate with others, regardless of their roles; manager, editor, UX designer, UI designer, or developer.

You can filter errors, failures, potential issues and even individual pages by roles to see who can fix what.

Users, roles, and granular permissions

Accessibility Cloud supports role-based and granular permissions for each user within the platform.

Share findings

Share your findings to colleagues or to colleagues, bug trackers, project management, and automation suites.

Which tools are supported?

• Azure DevOps
• GitHub
• Jira
• Trello
• GitLab
• Asana
• Monday.com
• ClickUp
• Zapier
• Make
• and others…

Multiple compliance targets

Set one or more compliance targets for each site, for both automatic and manual tests. Choose the conformance level (AA or AAA) and optionally include accessibility errors beyond strict violations. Supported standards include:

Universal: WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2

Europe: EN 301 549, BITV, RGAA

Americas: Section 508, House Bill 21-1110, Unruh, AODA

Asia-Pacific: IS 5568, RPwD, GIGW 3.0

Accessibility statement generation

Accessibility Cloud’s accessibility statements are automatically generated from the manual tests or audits by using all their applicable fields and doing all the necessary adjustments and calculations.

They ensure legal standing of the document by covering all local requirements per country/region and allows customisation. All the expertise required to generate an accessibility statement is now included in your subscription.

Feature highlights:

• Based on manual tests / audits / evaluations
• Specific content for each country & language combination
• Automatic calculation of necessary fields, such as compliance status
• All the necessary fields included, automatically calculated/populated, editable and removable
• Downloadable as HTML

Legal compliance requirement identification of documents

Accessibility Cloud’s document scanning engine can identify legal compliance requirement for each document.

After setting up the ‘Legal obligation start date’ in Compliance Targets on the left menu of your site instance, you will be able to observe which of your documents are legally required to be made accessible.

Set your legal obligation start date to discover which of your documents exposes you to legal risk.

Scanning

Accessibility Cloud combines multiple scanning engines, unlimited on-demand capacity, and advanced crawling to test your entire site, including pages behind logins, user flows, and content across multiple domains. Configure what gets scanned, set your compliance targets, and let the platform handle the rest.

Multiple accessibility defect scanning engines

Not all scanning engines catch the same issues. Accessibility Cloud lets you test with multiple engines, including ACAI, our AI-powered engine, axe-core, and QualWeb. You can test your site with the same engine your country’s monitoring agency uses, so you can make meaningful comparisons and ensure nothing slips through.

User flow testing

Static page scans only tell half the story. Many accessibility issues surface only after user interactions, such as opening menus, filling out forms, selecting filters, or completing a checkout.

Accessibility Cloud can mimic real user interactions to uncover defects hidden behind membership flows, search, payments, shopping carts, booking systems, contact forms, and more. Visit your site, record your user flows, and let Accessibility Cloud test what other tools can’t.

Unlimited on-demand accessibility defect scanning

Scan your entire site whenever you want, with no limits, on all plans. Accessibility Cloud’s hyper-scalable infrastructure means you’re never waiting or rationing scans.

Expected scanning speeds:

• 5,000 to 10,000 pages per hour for sites hosted in Scandinavia
• 3,000 to 5,000 pages per hour for sites hosted elsewhere in Europe
• 2,000 to 3,000 pages per hour for sites hosted anywhere else in the world
• 10,000 to 100,000 pages per hour with an Accessibility Cloud on-prem scanner

Scanning performance depends on how fast Accessibility Cloud can communicate with your web server. Public scanners are primarily located in Scandinavia, with new scanners deployed to additional geographies as needed.

Scan pages and documents behind logins

Test pages and documents that require authentication. Accessibility Cloud supports re-authentication features and advanced scan parameters so you can reach the content your users actually interact with, not just your public-facing pages:

Built to scale with your organization

Add as many websites, subdomains, viewports, and partial scans as you need. Accessibility Cloud doesn’t force everything into a single domain. Whether you manage one site or hundreds across different regions and configurations, the platform adapts to how you work, not the other way around.

Powerful scanning options

Fine-tune what gets scanned by including or excluding languages, specific content, pages, URLs, and CSS selectors across your sites. Configure the scanner’s behaviour, accept cookie banners, dismiss overlays, and interact with pages before testing commences.

Multiple compliance targets

Set one or more compliance targets for each site, for both automatic and manual tests. Choose the conformance level (AA or AAA) and optionally include accessibility errors that go beyond strict violations. Supported standards include:

• WCAG 2.1
• WCAG 2.2
• EAA
• EN 301 549
• BITV
• RGAA
• Section 508
• ADA
• See all supported compliance targets

Results and views

Every scan produces structured, actionable results, not just a list of errors. Four distinct views let your team approach results from different angles depending on whether you are fixing individual pages, tackling widespread patterns, reviewing improvement opportunities, or confirming potential errors flagged by AI.

Every scan produces four distinct views, each designed for a different stage of your remediation workflow:

Page-by-page analysis

See every error on a specific page. Drill into individual URLs to understand what needs fixing. Filter by severity or role, review solution suggestions, and verify resolved errors. Ideal for developers, editors, and QA teams.

Error type analysis

See errors grouped by type across your site. View every page where a specific error occurs, compare results between scan dates, and sort by occurrence, discovery date, or alphabetically. Convert errors to Findings, dismiss addressed errors, or group by violated success criteria.

Accessibility improvements

Discover enhancements beyond strict violations. Filter by content type or role, sort by occurrence or impact, compare across scan dates, and convert improvements to Findings when ready.

Potential errors

Review errors requiring human judgment. ACAI and other engines flag patterns that may or may not be true violations. Confirm them to add to your error count, or dismiss them to keep compliance reporting accurate.

Filters and sorting

A scan of a large site can return thousands of results. Accessibility Cloud gives you the tools to cut through the volume: filter by content type or team role, deduplicate identical errors, group reoccurring patterns, and prioritise by user impact so your team always works on what matters most.

Content filters

Filter by pages with errors, critical errors, recently discovered errors, AAA conformance errors, WCAG 2.2 errors, or dismissed errors.

Role filters

Filter results by the role best suited to fix each problem: Developer, UI Designer, UX Designer, Editor, or Manager. Each person sees what is relevant to them.

Find, sort, and prioritise at scale

Accessibility Cloud groups reoccurring errors into single entries, deduplicates identical errors across pages, and ranks everything by user impact. Search all results, switch between list views, and in error type analysis, group errors by violated success criteria. Compare errors from two scan dates to track progress over time.

Error deep-dive

Select any error and get everything your team needs to understand it, fix it, and verify the fix. Every error record combines technical detail, visual context, AI-powered fix suggestions, and space for your own notes, so nothing gets lost between detection and remediation.

Error breakdown

Every error includes a description of the problem, the user impact it causes, which WCAG violations it triggers, the CSS selector of the affected element, and a code excerpt showing the exact markup. You also see which roles can help with remediation, the test rule that flagged the error, and a list of every other page on your site where the same error occurs.

Each error also includes guidance on how to fix the problem, how to test that the fix works, and good and bad code examples.

Visual highlighting

Errors are highlighted directly on top of your live site, so you can see exactly what users experience without switching between tabs or reading through code.

ACAI-powered solution suggestions

Two levels of fix guidance are available. ACAI analyses the specific element with the error and generates a tailored solution suggestion. You can add your own context and direction to refine the suggestion further. For broader guidance, scan engine-generated suggestions provide generic remediation steps.

Annotations

Add notes, details, guidance, and screenshots to any error. Everything stays attached to the error record, so your team always has full context when they pick up remediation work.

Workflow and export

Accessibility testing only matters if errors get fixed. Accessibility Cloud lets you use the project management and automation tools your team already uses, and lets you export your full dataset for reporting and compliance documentation.

Share errors where your team already works

Send individual errors directly to the tools your team uses every day. Copy to clipboard, share via email, or share to Azure DevOps, GitHub, Jira, Trello, GitLab, Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Zapier, Make, and others.

No switching between platforms. No copy-pasting error details into tickets. One click from error to task.

Export your data

Export your full error dataset to Excel for reporting, compliance documentation, or offline analysis. Chart contents can also be exported to Excel separately.

Test mobile apps without needing source code

Automatic mobile app testing is currently in development and will be available soon.

• Add your appAdd your app directly from the App Store or Google Play. No codebase access or SDK integration required.
• Scan automaticallyACAI-mobile tests every screen and interaction for accessibility errors in seconds.
• Get resultsReview errors with solution suggestions, learning material, and best practices.

Manual mobile app testing and auditing is already available in all plans, including our free plan.

AI-generated solution (remediation) suggestions

ACAI can generate solution suggestions based on the actual code of your site which causes the accessibility problem.

In the screen recording, you can observe an example of ACAI finding the problematic element: an input field with no accessible name.

ACAI recognizes that this is a search field and suggests adding a label for it, which will introduce an accessible name “Search” for the previously unnamed input field to fix the accessibility error.

You can direct ACAI for a more suitable solution suggestion by giving it context, preferences and limitations. ACAI-powered solutions suggestions are available on all plans, including our freemium plan Basic.

Document testing

Accessibility Cloud finds and test documents which are linked to your website for accessibility defects and gives you detailed information:

• File information
• Accessibility error count
• Types of errors
• Violations
• Disability groups affected
• Who can fix
• and more…

Unlimited on-demand accessibility defect scanning

Accessibility Cloud offers unlimited on-demand scanning on all plans. This means you can scan your entire site any time you want, without limits. This feature is possible because of Accessibility Cloud’s hyper-scalable technical infrastructure.

Our public scanners provide unparalleled scanning and monitoring performance, and we deploy new scanners constantly to keep the scanning and monitoring performance high.

With Accessibility Cloud, you can expect to scan between 2,000 to 10,000 pages per hour, on average.

Please note that the performance of scanning and monitoring is directly correlated to how fast we can communicate with your web server.

Accessibility monitoring

Accessibility Cloud monitors your websites periodically with parameters of your choosing, including query strings, advanced inclusion and exclusions rules which support regex, alternative resolutions, headers, cookies, and more. Accessibility Cloud performs hundreds of tests for your content (web pages & documents) to find non-compliance issues.

Newly discovered errors, grouped together, made understandable and delivered as an email notification.

Quality problems

Accessibility Cloud scans your site for generic quality problems:

• Broken pages
• Broken links
• Incorrect MIME types
• and more…

EN 301 549. Made easy. Or at least, easier.

Accessibility Cloud simplifies understanding what needs to be tested for a specific guideline and test medium (website, mobile app, software, or ICT). For EAA compliance on a website, select website & web apps and the success criteria will match Table A.1 of Annex A of EN 301 549. For mobile apps, select mobile app and criteria match Table A.2. You can drill down to include or exclude conditional criteria.

For EN 301 549, supported test mediums include websites, web apps, software, and mobile apps, with conditional criteria for: non web documents, authoring tools, ICT with video capabilities, ICT with two-way voice communication. Extra rules related to the Web Accessibility Directive are also offered.

• EN 301 549 has 137 success criteria for websites; some can be unselected based on what is tested
• For mobile apps, 162 success criteria require testing in EN 301 549
• Automatic assisted auditing features help document accessibility errors uncovered by automatic tests

Information sources

Work smarter, not harder. Let automation test what it can, across one or thousands of pages. Cover the rest with guided testing or manual tests with detailed testing instructions. Combine all information sources with a single click to watch your audit come to life.

Information sources let you include test results from other sources, enabling benefits like live audits. Sources include: Automatic test results, Findings, and Guided tests. Once activated, results are automatically processed, violations documented, and included in audit reports.

• Auditors have final say over 'Passed' or 'Failed'; automatic tests only yield 'Cannot tell' for success criteria
• Documenting defects as individual findings saves time and provides additional side benefits
• Accessibility Cloud manages relationships between engines, tools, data formats, and guideline associations

Findings

Findings are the backbone of manual accessibility tests. They can be created manually or from automated or guided test results. Findings include a purpose-built snippet library connected to WCAG techniques for failures and solution suggestions, accelerating the authoring process.

• Created manually or from automatic test results and interactive guided tests
• Importable to audits; exportable to Excel; shareable with Jira, GitHub, Zapier, and others
• Usable as a backlog for accessibility defects, supporting workflow between bug trackers and Accessibility Cloud
• Connected to WCAG techniques and success criteria; associated with pages and/or components
• Can be copied and pasted between site instances
• Provides guidance on affected disability groups, user impact, and roles needed for remediation

Interactive guided testing

Accessibility Cloud currently supports interactive guided tests from Microsoft’s Accessibility Insights for Web.

What is an interactive guided test?

Interactive guided tests are used to report accessibility problems by asking testers a series of simple questions about the page being tested and highlighting components and their values. Testing tools that offer interactive guided tests build test reports based on those answers. Interactive guided tests allow accessibility errors to be caught efficiently without requiring accessibility expertise.

Live audits

Since information sources are data points elsewhere in Accessibility Cloud, their statuses can be reflected in real-time, enabling a live audit that updates itself as problems are remediated. Resolved findings are removed from reports automatically, keeping conformance levels accurate.

Automatic test results: A fixed error disappears from your live audit after review. Findings: Mark a finding resolved and it disappears from the live audit. Guided tests: Update a guided test and associated violations from the previous version are removed.

Static audits

For those who prefer traditional static audits, that option is also available. Static audits are locked in time and do not update automatically. This is called finalization in Accessibility Cloud and can be found on the audit report.

Guidelines / standards supported

By using Accessibility Cloud, you can test for the following standards, guidelines, and legal requirements:

• WCAG 2.1
• With or without AAA success criteria
• WCAG 2.2
• With or without AAA success criteria
• EN 301 549
• Website & web apps
• Software (includes kiosk and desktop apps)
• Mobile apps
• BITV
• With or without WCAG 2.2
• Section 508
• ADA (exactly the same as WCAG testing, this is just for reporting purposes)
• RGAA

Audits as portable data (import, export, API access, transfers to remote storage systems)

In general, everything everywhere in Accessibility Cloud is exportable and audits are no exception! Formats supported for audits / manual tests:

Import and export:

• JSON
• WCAG-EM compatible JSON

Export:

• Excel (XLSX)
• HTML
• PDF

API calls and transfers to remote repositories

Enterprise Edition and Monitoring Agency Edition also support retrieving audits via API calls and automatically transfer them to remote repositories.

Automatic sample selection

Accessibility Cloud crawls and tests your entire site or a large number of pages by default. This enables automatic sample selection for audits. The following parameters determine the most important pages and a meaningful, manually testable sample: crawling data, menu structure, accessibility errors discovered, error/occurrence densities, errors' relationship with pages, and more.

Testing instructions

Accessibility Cloud offers detailed manual testing instructions from the open-source resource: WCAG Primer.

Custom everything

Accessibility Cloud’s advanced editions (Enterprise Edition, Partner Edition, and Monitoring Agency Edition) support complete customizations of all the below:

• Custom test rules (test against your own rules)
• Custom outcomes (passed, failed, yes, no, can be improved, anything)
• Custom report templates

Everything that is customizable also comes with editors that allow modifications by the owners of such content, including all associated information and language variations.
