About WAVE

WAVE is a free web accessibility evaluation tool by WebAIM. It's browser-extension based, provides visual overlays on the page showing accessibility errors, and is widely used by accessibility professionals. It's an excellent tool for developers doing manual checks. What it lacks: no PDF report generation, no downloadable documentation, no compliance letter, no monitoring, and you have to check each page individually.

Pricing: Free
Approach: Browser extension for manual per-page checks

The Key Difference

WAVE is great for developers doing manual checks. OPA adds PDF reports, compliance letters, and legal defense documentation for businesses that need documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WAVE better than OnePageAudit?▾
They serve different needs. WAVE is excellent for developers doing detailed, visual, manual audits and is a trusted tool in the accessibility community. OnePageAudit is better for business owners who need shareable reports, PDF documentation, or compliance letters they can hand to an attorney or developer.
Is OnePageAudit free like WAVE?▾
The basic scan is free — enter a URL and get your score and the top 3 violations at no cost. The full detailed report (every violation with fix instructions and PDF download) is $19 one-time.
Does OnePageAudit replace WAVE for developers?▾
Not necessarily. WAVE's browser extension is excellent for in-depth page analysis. OPA is better suited for scanning any URL quickly, getting sharable results, and generating documentation. Many developers use both.
Can I use OnePageAudit for free like WAVE?▾
Yes. The free scan shows your compliance score, violation count by severity, and top 3 issues. No account required. The paid report ($19) unlocks all violations with fix instructions and a PDF.
