Axe Platform
Enterprise accessibility testing across code, browsers, sites, and teams.
Axe Platform is Deque’s suite for finding, fixing, monitoring, and reporting digital accessibility issues across websites, mobile apps, and content. It combines automated checks, guided manual testing, developer workflow integrations, site-wide monitoring, AI assistance, and training resources for organizations managing accessibility at scale.
Why it stands out
- Built around axe-core, one of the most widely adopted accessibility testing engines in development workflows.
- Covers the full accessibility lifecycle: coding, automated checks, manual audits, monitoring, reporting, and training.
- Designed for organization-wide governance, with centralized rulesets, permissions, trend reports, ROI views, and compliance tracking.
- Explicitly supports both developer workflows and executive/program reporting rather than focusing only on one-off page scans.
- Combines automation with manual testing guidance, acknowledging the limits of automated accessibility checks.
Good to know
- The platform is aimed at organizations and teams; it may be more extensive than needed for a simple one-page accessibility check.
- Deque notes that automated testing can find up to 80% of issues, so manual review is still necessary for full coverage.
- Pricing is not listed on the page, and access to the full platform appears to require a demo or trial signup.
- Implementation value depends on integrating the tools into development, QA, and reporting workflows rather than using them only occasionally.
Under the radar: Before requesting a platform demo, try the free axe-core or Axe DevTools Chrome extension on a representative page so your team can bring real findings and workflow questions into the evaluation.
