Accessibility reports are now part of how software is bought
50%
of US federal agencies routinely collect ACRs for every product during market research.
Section508.gov, FY2024 Governmentwide Section 508 Assessment28%
of 107 well-known SaaS vendors publish an ACR openly. Most have nothing a buyer can find.
Harbor Accessibility, ACR availability study, 2026$1.5k–10k
is what one manually tested ACR typically costs. Providers recommend refreshing it at least once a year.
Published prices from VPAT providers, 2026“Every time your product is changed or updated (e.g. version change, bug fix, etc.), an updated ACR may be required.”
Built for SaaS teams selling to regulated buyers
Government software
Under the ADA Title II rule, large state and local governments must meet WCAG 2.1 AA from April 2027, including the web content and apps they provide through vendors.
Public safety
Agencies buying records, analytics and evidence platforms fall under the same Title II rule and procurement reviews.
Healthcare
Hospitals and health plans covered by HHS's Section 504 rule increasingly ask patient-facing vendors for accessibility evidence.
Higher education
HECVAT 4, the standard university vendor questionnaire, asks whether your ACR covers the version being bought.
How Auditvia compares

| VPAT 2.5 / ACR included | Often an add-on | No | Yes |
| Public accessibility page | Rarely | Badge or statement | Yes, with revision history |
| Typical cost | $1,500–$10,000 per report | $490–$3,990 per year | From $500 per month |
Typical costs from published 2026 price lists. Overlay pricing from a leading overlay vendor's public plans.

What is a VPAT?
A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, published by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI). Once completed for a product, it is called an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). It states, criterion by criterion, whether the product supports, partially supports or does not support each accessibility requirement.
Does Auditvia certify that my product is compliant?
No. An ACR documents how your product conforms to each criterion, based on testing. It is not a legal certification, and no provider can honestly guarantee compliance.
Is Auditvia an overlay or widget?
No. Nothing is installed on your site or in your product. We test your product, your developers make the fixes in your code, and we re-test them.
Who does the testing?
Automated checks run on a schedule. People run the keyboard-only and screen-reader passes and judge each criterion, and an accessibility specialist reviews the report before it is published.
Which VPAT edition do I need?
US federal buyers usually ask for the Section 508 edition, EU buyers for the EN 301 549 edition, and many enterprise and university buyers for the WCAG edition. The international (INT) edition covers all three.
How long does the first report take?
The free gap check takes about a week. A full evaluation of your key flows typically takes two to three weeks, depending on the size of your product.
How is Auditvia related to Alterra Studio?
Auditvia is built by Alterra Studio, a design and development studio for funded startups. The studio can implement fixes for you, quoted separately.
“I run Alterra Studio, a design and development studio for funded startups. Auditvia began as our free website audit. Now it keeps a SaaS team’s accessibility report current: tested by people, updated as the product changes, and clear about what automation can and can’t check.”
