Audit Cost

What Your Accessibility Audit Price Covers

An accessibility audit costs $500 for a Quick Accessibility Audit or $2,000 for a Complete Accessibility Audit. Our accessibility audit pricing is fixed, not hourly, and you get the number in writing before any work starts.

Audits are founder-led (IAAP CPACC, WAS, CPWA) with 10+ years of digital accessibility experience. Not sure what to scope? Start with a free 30-minute call. Need technical answers now? Book the $100 one-hour consultation (see what it covers).

  • $500 Quick Audit

    Up to 5 page templates, automated and manual spot checks, and a top-10 issues report mapped to WCAG 2.2. Best for small sites that need a first baseline.

  • $2,000 Complete Audit

    Up to 25 templates or key user flows, full manual testing in JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver, a re-test of fixed issues and an accessibility statement draft.

  • Fixed Price, Agreed In Writing

    No hourly billing. The price is agreed before work starts, and the same packages cover WCAG 2.2, ADA, Section 508 and EN 301 549.

  • Not Sure Yet? Talk First

    The free 30-minute call is for scoping and a quote. The $100 hour is a technical session: an audit walkthrough, time with your developer or a live site review.

Cost Factors

What Changes the Cost of an Accessibility Audit

Templates and user flows, not URL count

We price by the unique page templates and user journeys a person has to test, not by how many URLs your site has.

  • Example: A large blog built on a handful of templates can cost less to audit than a small web app with sign-up, search, checkout and a dashboard
  • Fits: Up to 5 templates in the $500 Quick Audit; up to 25 templates or key flows in the $2,000 Complete Audit

Interactive components

Carts, filters, modals, date pickers, chat widgets and third-party embeds each need keyboard and screen reader testing.

  • Why it matters: These are where most blockers hide, and a scan cannot operate them the way a person does
  • Covered in: The Complete Audit, with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and keyboard-only passes

The standard you have to meet

We test to WCAG 2.2 AA and report against the rule you answer to.

Documents and PDFs

PDFs, Word and PowerPoint files are tested separately from web pages.

Procurement paperwork

A VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Report is quoted on top of the audit, because every criterion has to be documented.

Fixes and re-tests

An audit tells you what to fix. Fixing it is a separate, quoted piece of work, done by your team or ours.

  • Included: The Complete Audit includes a re-test of fixed issues so you leave with evidence
  • Help fixing: Accessibility remediation, quoted after scoping

Is an Accessibility Audit Cheaper Than an ADA Lawsuit?

Lawsuit Risk At A Glance

For most sites, yes, by a wide margin. Defense, settlements, experts and remediation after a demand letter routinely cost far more than a planned audit, and a widget is not a defense. Our fixed packages ($500 Quick, $2,000 Complete, $2,000 Shopify Accessibility Audit) give you a documented WCAG 2.2 baseline before lawyers or buyers ask. Already received a letter? See ADA lawsuit remediation. For market ranges and lawsuit context, see our accessibility audit cost guide and ADA website lawsuit statistics 2026.

Why a Free Scan Is Not the Same as an Audit

We run automated checkers in every audit, but the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative is clear that evaluation tools “can not determine accessibility, they can only assist in doing so.” That manual work is what you pay for.

Free automated scan compared with a manual accessibility audit
Compare Free automated scan Manual accessibility audit
Cost Free Fixed: $500 Quick or $2,000 Complete
What it checks Machine-detectable issues, such as missing alt attributes, empty links and low contrast Everything a scan finds, plus keyboard paths, focus order, screen reader output and whether tasks can be completed
Human judgement None: it cannot tell whether alt text makes sense or a form error is clear A person judges meaning, order and usability, the way your users meet the site
What you get A score and a list of flagged rules A WCAG 2.2-mapped report with severity, fix guidance and (Complete Audit) a re-test of fixes
Best use A starting point before a call, for example AccessibilityScore.in Evidence you can show to lawyers, clients and procurement teams

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you decide between the Quick Audit and Complete Audit?

We scope the work first — pages, templates, components — and recommend the Quick Accessibility Audit ($500, up to 5 templates) when a small marketing site needs a clear top-10 issues list, or the Complete Accessibility Audit ($2,000, up to 25 templates or key flows) when checkout, dashboards or multi-step journeys need full keyboard and screen reader coverage. Not sure yet? Book a free 30-minute call to talk it through; if you already have a scan or another vendor’s report and need a live technical review, book the $100 one-hour consultation.

What does each package cost?

Your first conversation is a free 30-minute call to talk through where you stand, scope a project and get a quote. The 1-Hour Consultation is $100, a technical working session to walk through an audit, talk with a developer or review issues live. The Quick Audit is $500 for small marketing sites with up to 5 representative pages. The Complete Audit is $2,000 and covers larger or more complex sites, including full Shopify storefront and checkout coverage, or a WordPress Accessibility Audit for themes and builders. Need a standalone VPAT/ACR or PDF remediation? Ask when we scope — those are available as add-ons. Web apps with unusual interaction patterns may need a custom quote. We will tell you the number before you commit.

Is there a minimum engagement?

No ongoing contract is required. You can start with a single Quick Audit if that is what you need. Some clients keep us on for re-audits after each release, or move from audit into remediation and monitoring; that is optional, not a lock-in.

Do you offer a compliance guarantee?

We do not sell “guaranteed compliance” — nobody honestly can, because accessibility depends on content that changes daily. What we do provide is documented WCAG 2.2 findings, severity ranking, remediation guidance and a re-test of fixed issues so you have evidence for lawyers, buyers and procurement teams.

Can the $100 consultation apply toward a paid audit later?

Often, yes — ask when you book the consultation and we will factor it in when scoping your Quick or Complete Audit.

Is the Complete Audit only for Shopify stores?

No — it is our flagship offer for any website or app, and it is purpose-built with full coverage for Shopify storefronts and checkout flows. See our dedicated Shopify Accessibility Audit page ($2,000). WordPress and WooCommerce sites can use the same Complete package or start with a $500 Quick Audit; details are on the WordPress Accessibility Audit page.

How much does an accessibility audit cost?

It depends mainly on how many unique templates and user flows need manual testing, not on how many URLs your site has. Our fixed prices are $500 for a Quick Accessibility Audit (up to 5 page templates) and $2,000 for a Complete Accessibility Audit (up to 25 templates or key user flows, with a re-test), plus a $100 1-hour consultation if you want a technical working session first (an audit walkthrough or a live review with a specialist). Scoping questions and quotes start with a free 30-minute call. Larger platforms get a written quote before any work starts. For market rates and hidden extras, read our accessibility audit cost guide.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. Audits are sold as fixed-price packages, so you know the full cost before we start. Only Enterprise programs (several products, remediation sprints, monitoring or VPAT/ACR work) are custom-quoted after a free accessibility needs assessment.

Why does a manual audit cost more than a free accessibility scan?

Free scanners only flag issues a machine can detect. The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative says evaluation tools assist testing but cannot determine accessibility on their own. A free scan can surface obvious issues before a call; a manual audit still tests keyboard paths, screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver) and whether real users can complete tasks. That is what produces evidence you can stand behind. See also the “Why a free scan is not the same as an audit” section above.

Is the price different for ADA, Section 508 or EAA audits?

No. The same packages cover each standard. We test to WCAG 2.2 AA and report against the rule you answer to: WCAG 2.1 AA under the ADA Title II web rule (compliance dates April 26, 2027 / April 26, 2028), WCAG 2.0 AA for Section 508, or EN 301 549 for the European Accessibility Act. Tell us which rule applies when you book.

How do I get a quote for a larger site or web app?

Send your URL, the platforms involved and any deadline through the free accessibility needs assessment. Prefer to talk first? Book a free 30-minute call. We reply with a written accessibility audit pricing quote, usually within 2 business days.

What is the difference between the free 30-minute call and the $100 consultation?

The free 30-minute call is the first discussion: where you stand, what to scope, and how to start a project or get a quote. The $100 one-hour consultation is a technical working session — walking through an audit or its findings, talking with a developer, or reviewing website issues live. Pick the free call if you are exploring; pick the $100 hour when you need expert technical answers now.

Who performs the accessibility audits at HalfAccessible?

Audits are founder-led by Mohammad Shadab Saifi, who holds IAAP CPACC, WAS and CPWA credentials and is a DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester, with 10+ years in digital accessibility. You work with specialists who map every issue to WCAG 2.2 and re-test fixes — not an overlay widget.

Is a Shopify accessibility audit a different price?

The dedicated Shopify Accessibility Audit is $2,000 and covers storefront templates, cart and checkout flows with the same Complete Audit depth. It is not sold as a “free” scan or an hourly retainer.

Can I start with an automated score before paying for an audit?

Yes. Run a free automated accessibility check first if you like, then bring the results to a free 30-minute call or the $100 technical consultation. Automated scores complement a manual audit; they do not replace keyboard and screen reader testing.

How does accessibility audit cost compare to an ADA demand letter?

A planned audit is usually far cheaper than reacting after a demand letter or lawsuit. Public trackers show steady filing volume (EcomBack counted 2,045 ADA website lawsuits in U.S. courts from January to June 2026); defense, experts and forced remediation after the fact routinely exceed a $500 or $2,000 audit. If you already have a letter, see ADA lawsuit remediation and start with the needs assessment or a free 30-minute call.

How do I compare pricing for accessibility audits?

Compare what each quote covers, not just the number. Check how many templates and user flows are tested, whether a person tests with a keyboard and screen readers (not only an automated scan), what the report includes (WCAG 2.2 mapping, fix guidance, a re-test of fixes) and who does the work. Our packages are fixed: $500 for a Quick Audit (up to 5 templates), $2,000 for a Complete Audit (up to 25 templates or key flows) and $2,000 for a Shopify audit. See a sample audit report, read our accessibility audit cost guide for market rates, or book a free 30-minute call to go through another vendor’s quote with us.
