TrueConform and Kept Record are both axe-core scanners that install nothing; TrueConform adds a free public scan, a letter rating and expert audits, and scans monthly.
Both load pages in a real Chromium browser, run axe-core against WCAG A and AA, and say an automated scan cannot prove a site meets the law. TrueConform offers white-label reports at a lower entry price than Kept Record and sells a human-reviewed audit. Kept Record is cheaper for a single site, scans weekly, and records each defect across scans without rating the site.

What Kept Record is
Kept Record plans and prices

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.
