What ADA Site Monitor Costs, and How the Quote Is Built
Accessibility monitoring pricing is quoted in writing, before any work starts, from a short scoping call. The price is built from your inventory, because the honest cost drivers are the number of websites, page templates, portals and documents you actually have. No published flat rate would be honest across a one-site town and a county with a dozen portals, so we do not publish one.

Key takeaways
- Initial assessment: quoted in writing after a scoping call, priced from your property inventory.
- Monthly monitoring: quoted together with the assessment, so you know the full cost before you start.
- Included in every engagement: human verification of every automated finding before it reaches your report.
- Optional add-on: a hands-on human review with a keyboard and screen reader, quoted separately because it is hands-on hours.
What drives accessibility monitoring pricing?
Four things, all of them countable in the scoping call: how many websites and subdomains you have, how many distinct page templates they use, how many portals and web applications sit behind them, and how large the document libraries are. Population size alone does not predict any of those, which is why we scope before we quote.
In detail
A small city with one well-kept site and a modest document library is a small job. A school district with a site per school, two vendor portals and fifteen years of board minutes is not. Pricing from the inventory keeps the quote fair in both directions: nobody subsidizes anybody, and nothing is discovered halfway through that changes the price. The inventory itself is the first deliverable of the initial assessment, so the thing you are quoted on is also the first thing you receive in writing.
What is included in every engagement?
The scoping call
Free. We list your properties together, agree the scope, and you get the written quote. No obligation follows from it.
Human verification
A person checks every automated finding before it reaches your report, in the assessment and in every monthly scan. This is included, never an upsell.
A written quote, honored
Scope, price and delivery date in writing before work starts. If the inventory was right, the price does not move.
The timestamped record
Every engagement builds the dated found-and-verified history that documents your continuing accessibility effort.
What does the optional human review add?
A person working through your highest-traffic pages and portals with a keyboard and a screen reader, testing the judgment calls no scanner can reach: whether alt text carries the image's meaning, whether a form makes sense read aloud, whether the keyboard order of a payment flow is usable. It is quoted separately, for an additional fee, because it is hands-on hours. The difference between included verification and this deeper pass is explained in automated scans vs human review.
Why is there no price list on this page?
Because a flat price would be wrong for most of the entities reading it, in one direction or the other. The W3C's own guidance on evaluating web accessibility makes the same point about scope: what it takes to evaluate a site depends on what the site contains. We would rather count what you have and put an honest number on it in writing. The quote that follows is the whole price for the scope it describes, and if the inventory was right, it does not move.
Pricing questions
Yes. It is how we count the inventory we quote from, so it costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.
They are quoted together, as two line items in one written quote: the one-time initial assessment and the recurring monthly monitoring. You see both numbers before any work starts.
Yes. The assessment stands on its own as a written baseline. We will tell you plainly that a baseline ages as the site changes, which is what the monitoring is for, but the choice is yours.
Not by itself. The price is built from websites, templates, portals and documents. A large county with a tidy web estate can cost less to assess than a small district with a sprawling one.
