Kept Record

UserWay sells an accessibility widget installed on your site, plus a separate monitoring scanner; Kept Record is only a scanner and installs nothing.

UserWay's main product is a widget that changes pages as they load and gives visitors personalisation tools, with monitoring, audits and VPATs alongside it. Its monitoring scanner is the closer match to Kept Record. UserWay has a free widget and a free one-page monitor; Kept Record costs less for monitoring one hundred pages.

What Kept Record is

Kept Record plans and prices

  • Free: one site, 25 pages, scanned weekly, 12 weeks of history, no PDF. It needs an account and showing control of the site.
  • Site: $19 a month or $190 a year. One site, up to 100 pages per weekly scan, full history, and a 12-month PDF report.
  • Studio: $59 a month. 10 sites, 100 pages each, PDF reports.
  • Agency: $149 a month or $1,490 a year. 30 sites, 100 pages each, and white-label: the agency's name and logo on every PDF and on a client-facing view.

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.
