Axeazy vs Pope Tech for Agencies

Opening answer

For an agency, Pope Tech and Axeazy solve different parts of client work. Pope Tech scales WAVE checks across many client sites, with groups, dashboards, scheduled scans and reports your team can track over time. Axeazy turns scan findings into code fixes, with pull request review for repo sites, white label reports and a 10 site agency plan. If your agency mainly reports and tracks, Pope Tech fits that workflow. If your agency mainly fixes and bills for code work, Axeazy fits that workflow. Start by picking the workflow you bill for.

What Pope Tech gives an agency

Pope Tech is built on the WAVE testing engine, so results are categorized as they are in WAVE, with explanations for each issue. That familiarity helps a team that already uses WAVE for single page checks, because the categories, errors, alerts and features carry over to sitewide work. The platform adds what the free checker does not: a crawler, scheduled scanning, reports, progress tracking over time, and organization by groups and dashboards.

Pricing is by page tier, not by site alone. The free plan is $0 for a 25 page tier, with 1 website, 2 users, 1 group and unlimited rescanning, as listed on Pope Tech pricing. Team page tiers start at $25 a month billed annually, or $30 a month billed monthly, for a 50 page tier, rising to 500 page tiers, with unlimited users, unlimited websites, unlimited groups and unlimited rescanning. Business Plus page tiers start at $225 a month billed annually, or $270 a month billed monthly, for a 500 page tier, rising to million plus page tiers, with manual testing tracking, an AIM score guided manual test, scanning behind login, a developer API, GitHub and Bitbucket CI/CD, and PDF scanning as an optional add-on in beta. Professional page tiers start at $400 a month billed annually for a 500 page tier, adding training seats, WebAIM training and help desk support.

That page tier model suits an agency with a few large client sites, because cost follows total pages under management, not just site count. It also suits an agency that needs group dashboards, because Team and higher tiers add multi-website dashboards, group scans and group reports. A team can assign users to groups, view a group dashboard, and track progress for that group over time, which is the reporting shape a client review meeting needs.

Pope Tech also lists resellers and agencies as a separate contact option, with no price stated on the pricing page opened. If you plan to resell Pope Tech, ask for reseller terms in writing before quoting a client.

What Axeazy gives an agency

Axeazy agency work starts from a different question: what code changed, and who reviewed it? The agency plan is listed on Axeazy agency at $199 a month or $1,799 a year, with up to 10 client sites included, a white label portal, white label badge and reports, bulk scanning and per-client risk indicators. Onboarding includes a 60-minute call to set up white label branding, configure GitHub App access and review the client roster, with help to get first client sites scanning. That onboarding shape matters, because the first weeks decide whether client work becomes a repeatable service.

Fix delivery follows the same code level model as the single site plans. Axeazy scans with 98 automated checks against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 AA plus best practices, then fixes code in 14 categories: alt text, skip navigation, language attributes, form labels, link names, button names, ARIA labels on custom widgets, ARIA attribute validity, keyboard tab order, pinch to zoom restrictions, iframe titles, table header structure, landmark structure and heading structure. For a client site with a GitHub repo, fixes arrive as a real pull request with a visible diff for the agency or the client developer to review and merge. For WordPress client sites, a free plugin applies 3 instant render time fixes, with paid plans adding alt text saved to the media library, auto captioning and weekly scans. Paid plans monitor weekly and give dated reports, so an agency can show a client what was found, what was fixed, and when, in date order.

The price unit differs from Pope Tech. Axeazy Agency prices by site count, up to 10 sites included, while Pope Tech prices by page tier. A 10 site agency with small client sites may find the site unit simpler to quote. A 3 site agency with very large client sites may find the page tier model clearer. Count both units for your actual roster before you pick.

How to choose for your roster

First, list your roster by site count and by page count. A roster of 10 small sites, each under 50 pages, totals under 500 pages. A roster of 3 large sites, each with 2,000 pages, totals 6,000 pages. Those two rosters price very differently under a site unit versus a page tier unit, so run both totals before you compare monthly figures. The cheaper headline on one roster can become the dearer total on another.

Second, decide what you bill for. If you bill for audits, tracking and client reporting, a monitoring platform with group dashboards and scheduled reports fits the invoice. If you bill for code work, a fix workflow with pull requests, white label reports and dated fix history fits the invoice, because the client can see the diff and the date. If you bill for both, keep the two records separate in the client file: a monitoring report for trends, and a fix record for code changes.

Third, check who reviews changes. Pope Tech findings are reviewed by your team and then fixed by whoever edits the client site, whether that is your agency or the client developer. Axeazy pull requests are reviewed and merged by the owner or developer before they go live. If a client site is live and changes need a second pair of eyes, that review step should weigh heavily in the choice, and it should be written into the client agreement.

Fourth, use the criteria guide at how to choose an accessibility tool, 10 criteria to score both tools on price unit, page limit, fix method, record, review step and support, for your largest client first, then for your smallest.

Axeazy in this comparison

Axeazy fits an agency that wants to sell code fixes and dated client reports, not just monitoring. Start with the free scan on Axeazy homepage, then review the agency terms on the agency page, remembering that paid prices on the main pricing page are shown at checkout. The agency figure of $199 a month or $1,799 a year for up to 10 sites is stated on the agency page itself, so use that figure for agency budgeting and confirm the checkout total for the billing period you pick. For a first client, run the free scan and test the pull request review step with the client developer before rolling the service out to the full roster.

FAQ

Is Pope Tech only for large organizations?

No. Pope Tech Free covers a 25 page tier, and Team starts at a 50 page tier, so a small agency can start small and raise the page tier as client pages grow. The higher tiers add manual testing tracking, training and larger page tiers, which fit larger rosters, but the entry tiers are sized for small teams.

Does Axeazy Agency cover more than 10 sites?

The agency page states up to 10 client sites included, and invites agencies that need more to talk to Axeazy. If your roster is above 10 sites, ask for a quote for the extra sites before you promise a client a fixed monthly figure, and check whether bulk scanning and per-client report pages cover the extra sites in the same way.

Can an agency use both tools?

Yes. Many teams use a monitor for trends and a fix workflow for code changes. The cost is two subscriptions and two records to keep in sync. Keep both records together in the client file, with dates.

What legal note should an agency give a client?

Give general information, not legal advice. Automated checks help you find and fix clear faults against WCAG 2.2, and ADA guidance on web accessibility notes that a clean automated report does not necessarily mean everything is accessible. If a client received a demand letter or was sued, tell the client to talk to a qualified attorney, and keep the dated scan and fix record ready for that conversation.
