Do you need a scanner, an accessibility platform, or both?
An accessibility scanner evaluates content for issues it can detect automatically. An accessibility management platform helps a team coordinate the ongoing work around those issues. Some products combine both, so compare actual capabilities rather than relying on the category name.
Start with the job you need to do.
Each team need, and the capability to evaluate for it.
Check a page for detectable issues
Automated evaluation
Understand coverage across a website
Page discovery, crawl scope, and evaluation results
Review results as the site changes
Scheduled or repeat monitoring
Give remediation an owner
Assignment, status, and prioritization
Preserve questions and decisions
Issue discussion and history
Check a deployed fix
Retesting and a way to record appropriate human evaluation
Explain the work to stakeholders
Accessible records and any reporting the team requires
A scanner may provide several of these capabilities. A management platform may require a separate testing tool. Ask the vendor to demonstrate the exact workflow you need.
Where Ility fits.
Ility combines full-site scanning and monitoring with collaborative issue tracking and AI-assisted code guidance. Its purpose is to help teams move from detected issues to owned remediation work and a record of what happened.

Where does an overlay fit?
An overlay changes aspects of a website’s presentation or behavior through added software. That is a different job from organizing testing and remediation. Ility does not add an accessibility overlay; your team addresses the underlying website.
Illustrative scenario.
A practical decision.
A developer testing a component during implementation may start with an evaluation tool. A team responsible for an evolving website also needs to decide who reviews results, who fixes issues, and where verification is recorded. Those responsibilities determine whether additional management capabilities are useful.
Questions teams ask
Still have questions?
Tell us about your website and what you need. We'll follow up personally.
Request accessThe team still needs to investigate barriers, implement changes, and test the experience. Management capabilities make that process easier to coordinate.
You can retain tools that serve your evaluation needs. Check how their results will enter the working process; do not assume a platform has an integration or importer without confirming it.
