typical annual cost of enterprise accessibility tools
Small cities across America are deleting website content rather than paying for expensive compliance tools. Some of these municipalities have total property tax collections of just $14,000. Enterprise tools that charge $300–500/month simply don't work for public budgets.
The federal requirement doesn't care about your budget. But your compliance tool should. That's why we built RatedWithAI — real WCAG scanning that costs less than a monthly office supply order.
You shouldn't have to choose between serving your community and meeting federal requirements.

FAQ
Common questions from government buyers
Do I need an RFP to purchase RatedWithAI?
At $249/year (Starter) or $749/year (Pro), RatedWithAI falls well under the federal micro-purchase threshold of $10,000 and most state/local thresholds. Most procurement officers can approve with a purchase order, P-card, or government credit card — no RFP needed.
What's the difference between ADA Title II and Section 508?
ADA Title II applies to all state and local government entities. Section 508 applies to federal agencies and federally-funded organizations. Both require WCAG Level AA conformance. RatedWithAI scans against WCAG 2.1 AA, covering both mandates with a single tool.
Can I try it before going through procurement?
Absolutely. Our free scan requires no signup, no credit card, and no procurement paperwork. Scan your site right now, share the report with your team, and use the results to build the business case for a subscription.
Do you offer .gov domain discounts?
Yes. Verified .gov domains receive 20% off all plans. Email hello@ratedwithai.com from your .gov address and we'll apply the discount. Government Starter drops to just $199/year.
Can you provide W-9s and formal quotes?
Yes. We support standard government procurement workflows including W-9s, formal quotes, invoices, and purchase orders. We also offer annual billing to align with your fiscal year. Email hello@ratedwithai.com.
Why not use an overlay widget like accessiBe?
The DOJ has explicitly warned against relying on overlay widgets for ADA compliance. Overlays don't fix underlying code issues and can actually make sites less accessible. Multiple government entities have faced lawsuits despite using overlays. RatedWithAI provides real scanning that identifies real issues you need to fix.
What happens if we miss the April 2026 deadline?
The DOJ can investigate non-compliant entities and pursue compliance agreements, which can include costly remediation requirements, monitoring obligations, and potential compensatory relief. Proactive compliance is significantly less expensive than reactive remediation after an investigation.
