This video covers how accessibility audits are priced, what factors affect the cost, and what organizations should expect when budgeting for an evaluation.
Most accessibility audits start at 1,000 dollars and range up to 3,000 dollars depending on the size and complexity of the site. Per-page pricing typically falls between 100 dollars and 250 dollars per page or screen. The total cost depends on how many pages are in scope, the type of content involved, and whether the site includes authenticated areas or dynamic functionality.
Audit pricing also reflects the depth of work involved. A proper audit is conducted by a human evaluator who reviews each page using screen readers, keyboard interaction, code inspection, and visual review. Automated scans are sometimes included as one component, but they only flag approximately 25 percent of accessibility issues. The remaining evaluation requires skilled professional judgment, which is where most of the cost originates.
Organizations comparing audit providers should look at what the quoted price includes: the number of pages covered, the WCAG conformance level being evaluated against, the format of the final report, and whether remediation guidance is part of the deliverable.
