Kept Record

Scandiary and Kept Record are both weekly scanners that install nothing on your site; they differ on price, standard version and agency features.

Both products run axe-core in a real browser on a weekly schedule and report what changed rather than claiming a site is accessible. Scandiary costs less at every paid level and its free plan needs no account. Kept Record checks a newer WCAG version, lets you pick the scan day and hour, and offers white-label PDFs on its Agency plan.

Where Scandiary is better or cheaper

Scandiary is the cheaper choice at every level where both products publish a price.

Kept Record's differences are the WCAG 2.2 standard, a scan day and hour you choose, a 12-month PDF report on the Site plan, and white-label PDFs and a client-facing view on the Agency plan.

For one site with one hundred pages, Scandiary charges $12 a month against Kept Record's $19.

How Kept Record scans

  • A real Chromium browser running axe-core, checking WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA.
  • Weekly scans on the day and hour you choose.
  • It installs nothing on the site. There is no widget or overlay.

What Kept Record records

  • Each defect is recorded with the element, the measurement and the failing markup.
  • Later scans are compared with earlier ones. A defect that stops being detected is marked "no longer detected", never resolved.
  • A defect whose page failed to load, or whose reading was taken mid-animation, is held open rather than dropped.

What Kept Record does not claim

  • Automated scanning detects a subset of problems and is not a legal assessment.
  • It makes no compliance claim and promises no legal outcome.
