We use SortSite. The info states that it runs 312 tests covering WCAG2.1 A, AA & AAA guidelines however I haven't done a deep dive into what those tests are. It's more affordable compared to some of the others but is more technical and less user friendly for the non-techy (like me!) so mainly I rely on my web developer to translate the info it returns.

Best,
Amy

Subject: [Athen] WCAG 2.1 automated accessibility checker tool

Hello,

My institution is looking for an automated accessibility checker tool that checks for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. The tool we currently use tests very few of the newer 2.1 criteria and we're wanting to get a better handle on the accessibility of our websites on mobile devices. Does anyone have a tool that the recommend for 2.1 testing?

Thanks,
Kasey
