Perceivly vs Siteimprove: accessibility monitoring for small teams
Facts checked , with sources below.
Siteimprove is an enterprise platform that brings accessibility, search (SEO and AEO), content strategy and analytics together. Its accessibility tools cover websites, documents and PDFs, social content and apps. It says it is trusted by more than 5,000 organizations and was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Accessibility.
Perceivly does one part of that: accessibility monitoring of websites. It is made for small businesses and web agencies that want to start without a sales process, with prices on the website.
At a glance
| Feature | Siteimprove | Perceivly |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | One platform for accessibility, SEO and AEO, content strategy and analytics. | An accessibility monitor: it crawls your site on a schedule, tests each page in a real browser with axe-core against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 (A and AA), and tracks every issue. |
| Script added to your site | No overlay widget on the pages we checked; it is a scanning and monitoring platform. | None. Perceivly never changes your site. |
| Pricing | No published prices; pricing starts with a demo request. | Published: Starter $29 a month (1 site, 500 pages per check, weekly), Growth $59 (3 sites, 2,000 pages, daily), agency plans $99 to $349. Annual billing is 10 times the monthly price. |
| Free option | Free checkers (accessibility, contrast, PDF, EAA, ADA Title II, SEO) and a free Digital Insights Report. | A free single-page scan without sign-up, a Free plan (1 site, 50 pages, monthly) and a 14-day trial with no card. |
| Scanning and monitoring | Accessibility across websites, documents and PDFs, social content and apps, with remediation agents. | Daily, weekly or monthly crawls. Issues are open, in progress, fixed or won't fix (with a reason), and close on their own when a check no longer finds them. |
