Axeazy vs Siteimprove for Small Teams

Opening answer

A small team choosing between Axeazy and Siteimprove is choosing between two different jobs. Axeazy scans a site and fixes code in 14 violation categories, on fixed tiers by site and page count. Siteimprove monitors website content across Quality Assurance, Accessibility, SEO, and Policy Compliance, on a quote that follows page count, modules, and term. If the team only needs accessibility fixes, the bundle can cost far more than the fix job. If the team also needs SEO and content governance across many pages, the bundle may be the honest fit.

Quick comparison

• Job: Axeazy fixes code. Siteimprove monitors content across four areas and reports issues for a team to resolve.
• Axeazy Free: $0, homepage scan only, 3 scans per month, scan in about 60 seconds, no signup, no card.
• Axeazy Starter: $29 a month on the capabilities page, $348 a year at that monthly rate before any annual discount shown at checkout, 1 site up to 500 pages.
• Axeazy Pro: $79 a month on the capabilities page, $948 a year at that monthly rate before any annual discount shown at checkout, 3 sites up to 500 pages each.
• Axeazy Agency: $199 a month or $1,799 a year on the capabilities page, up to 10 sites.
• Siteimprove small organisation range: $15,000 to $40,000 a year for 1,000 to 5,000 pages with 1 to 2 modules, from Vendr transaction data, not a vendor list price.
• Siteimprove Accessibility range: $12,000 to $30,000 a year for 1,000 to 5,000 pages, from the same Vendr data.
• Siteimprove SEO addition: $8,000 to $20,000 a year when added to an existing Accessibility contract, from the same Vendr data.

What Siteimprove bundles

The Siteimprove help page describes the Content Suite as a platform that helps organisations monitor and improve website content across Quality Assurance, Accessibility, SEO, and Policy Compliance. Quality Assurance finds broken links, typos, and outdated content. Accessibility checks for WCAG issues and usability issues. SEO analyses metadata, structure, and crawlability. Policy flags content that breaks internal or legal guidelines.

That bundle suits a team that owns content quality, search, and accessibility together, and that reports on all four areas to different owners. A university team, a government team, or a large company team with many editors can use one dashboard for all four jobs. A small team with one site, one editor, and a short fix list may open only the Accessibility area, while the quote still reflects the bundle shape, the page tier, and the term.

Siteimprove pricing follows page count and module choice. The Vendr page states that Siteimprove does not publish standard list pricing publicly, and that quotes follow pages monitored, modules selected, contract term, and organisation size. Bundles typically give a per module discount compared with buying each module apart, and multi year terms commonly give a 10 to 25 percent discount compared with annual terms on that page. Those discounts still sit on top of a five figure annual range for a small organisation, so a small team should ask for the annual total for Accessibility alone, then for Accessibility plus SEO, and keep both figures in writing.

What Axeazy does differently

Axeazy runs 98 automated checks, using axe-core rules, against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 AA plus best practices, and it fixes code in 14 categories. The categories are 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 site with a GitHub repo, fixes arrive as a real pull request with a visible diff, reviewed and merged by the owner or developer, with nothing applied without review. For WordPress, a free plugin applies 3 instant render time fixes, and paid plans add AI written alt text saved to the media library, auto captioning, and weekly scans. For Shopify, Axeazy scans the store and gives a guided plain English checklist, with no automatic fixes or pull requests for Shopify. For other sites without a repo, Axeazy scans and gives computed fix values plus a guided checklist.

The dated record matters here. Every scan and fix is dated on paid plans, so a small team can show work done in order, with dates, rather than showing a score alone. Automated checks cannot test every WCAG criterion, so manual review still matters for reading order, captions, and other points that a machine cannot judge alone. That limit applies to both products in this comparison, and a buyer should ask each vendor what stays for human review.

Price in yearly terms

Work in yearly totals, because both vendors price in yearly terms in practice, even though Axeazy tiers are listed by month on the capabilities page. At the listed monthly rates, before any annual discount shown at checkout, Starter is $348 a year, Pro is $948 a year, and Agency is $2,388 a year at the monthly rate, or $1,799 a year on the annual Agency figure on the capabilities page. The pricing page states that paid prices appear at checkout and that annual billing saves 20 to 25 percent, so the checkout total is the figure to record.

Siteimprove, by contrast, has no list price to multiply. The Vendr ranges give a planning figure: $15,000 to $40,000 a year for a small organisation with 1,000 to 5,000 pages and 1 to 2 modules. Accessibility alone for that page range is $12,000 to $30,000 a year in the same data. Adding SEO is $8,000 to $20,000 a year in the same data. A small team that needs only accessibility fixes should compare $348 to $948 a year on Axeazy tiers with $12,000 to $30,000 a year for Siteimprove Accessibility in the Vendr range, and should ask whether the extra spend buys work the team will actually use.

Page count also changes the answer. A site with 200 pages and a site with 4,000 pages sit in different Siteimprove tiers, and a site with 600 pages sits above the Axeazy Starter page limit on the pricing page. Count pages before asking for a quote, and count them again before signing, because a page tier rise mid term can trigger a pro rated fee or a contract change on the Vendr page.

Axeazy for a small team

A small team that wants fixes in code, on a fixed tier, can start with the free scan from Axeazy, then read the tiers on Axeazy pricing. The free scan covers the homepage only, in about 60 seconds, with no signup and no card, so it suits a first check, not a full site audit. Paid plans add weekly scans on the pricing page, and the same 14 fix categories on every paid tier, with higher tiers adding more sites and deeper audit coverage.

How to choose

First, list the jobs the team actually owns this year. If the list is accessibility fixes only, a fix service fits. If the list includes SEO tracking, broken link checks, spelling, and policy checks across many pages, a bundle fits, and the quote should be judged on all four jobs, not on accessibility alone.

Second, ask for two Siteimprove figures: Accessibility alone, and Accessibility plus SEO. If only the bundle figure is offered, ask what is included in it and what can be removed, and get the answer in writing.

Third, check who applies fixes. Axeazy pull requests wait for owner or developer review. Siteimprove reports issues for a team to resolve, so the team needs staff time to apply fixes after the report arrives. A small team with no developer time should weigh that difference heavily.

Fourth, read the renewal terms. Ask about annual rises, page overage, and the cost of adding a site or a module mid term, for either product. A related guide to the criteria that matter most is how to choose an accessibility tool in 10 criteria.

FAQ

Does Siteimprove fix accessibility issues in code?

Siteimprove describes monitoring, reporting, and remediation workflows, with issues routed for a team to resolve. Axeazy describes code level fixes, through a pull request for GitHub sites, a WordPress plugin, or a guided checklist for Shopify. The difference is who applies the change, and where the change is recorded.

Is Siteimprove too large for a small team?

Not in every case. A small team that owns SEO, content quality, and accessibility together, across many pages, can use the bundle. A small team that owns accessibility fixes alone, on one site, will usually find a fixed tier service a better fit on price, because the bundle price reflects modules the team may never open.

What should a small team ask Siteimprove before signing?

Ask for the annual total for Accessibility alone, the page tier, the module list, the renewal rise, the page overage rule, and the cost of adding a module mid term. Ask the same questions of any tier service, and compare the answers side by side, in yearly totals.

Does either product remove legal risk?

No tool can promise a result in a legal claim. A dated record of scans and fixes can show work done, and that record can help in a reply to a claim, but it is not a promise about an outcome. This article gives general information, not legal advice. If a demand letter has arrived, or a case has been filed, talk to a qualified attorney.
