How to choose an accessibility testing company

Decide first whether you need primarily an on-page assistive solution for visitors, a developer-focused testing tool, or an organisational governance platform that combines scanning, manual audits and programme management. Match the vendor to your primary buyer needs: engineering teams need CI-friendly tooling, content teams need continuous site and document scanning, and compliance teams need evidence and reporting. Also evaluate integrations (ticketing, CI, CMS), evidence export formats, and whether the vendor provides ongoing monitoring or manual-audit services.
