A11y Pulse vs WebYes

WebYes counts credits.
We count pages.

WebYes meters usage at 2 credits per page audit, with credits expiring every 30 days. A11y Pulse has a flat per-page quota, daily scans on every plan, and no end-of-month forfeiture.

What is WebYes?

WebYes is an all-in-one website audit platform aimed at freelancers, small businesses, and agencies. The accessibility module is one piece of a broader offering that includes SEO scoring, performance scoring, and best-practice checks, all under a single credit-metered subscription. The pricing model is the most distinctive thing about it.

Credit model 2 credits per page
Desktop and mobile audit separately, so a single page costs 2 credits. Credits reset every 30 days and don't roll over.
Bundled scope a11y + SEO + perf
Accessibility, SEO, and performance share one credit pool. Real appeal if you'll use all three, dead weight if you won't.
Free tier 10 credits / month
Enough for around five page audits a month with no commitment. A useful way to evaluate the engine before moving to a paid tier.

Why teams switch to A11y Pulse

Three reasons to skip the credit accounting

WebYes's credit model rewards careful planning and punishes spontaneity. The focused scanner is the version that doesn't ask you to forecast usage every month.

1

Predictability

Flat bill, no usage forecasting

Credits punish spontaneity. A team that verifies a fix on Wednesday, then re-verifies across mobile, has spent 4 credits on what feels like one check. A flat quota you can budget against doesn't ask you to forecast usage.

2

Cadence

Daily scans, unlimited rescans

WebYes scans on-demand and meters every page. A11y Pulse runs every tracked page daily, with unlimited manual rescans on top, so you can verify a fix the moment you ship it without watching a credit counter.

Every page, every day

3

No forfeiture

Unused capacity doesn't expire

WebYes credits reset every 30 days and don't roll over, so a quiet month donates the unused allowance back. We don't meter scans; your page quota is yours, all month, every month.

No month-end resets
