Facts about other products checked on September 28, 2026, with sources below.
The short version
WP ADA Compliance Check is a direct competitor: a WordPress checker with a free Basic version and a paid version. Basic checks each post as you save it, but limits full-site scans to 15 posts or pages and runs 52 of the 83 checks; the paid version adds theme-file scanning, 28 automatic corrections, publish blocking, white-label reports and a visitor widget. Lumtera's free plugin runs every check on every page, checks the rendered page with your theme in review mode, keyboard included, and saves only the fixes you approve, with undo. Lumtera Pro adds scheduled page checks, form tests, an evidence log and a conformance report.

Can I switch without losing work?
Install Lumtera alongside, check all content, and compare the findings before removing either plugin. Lumtera does not import another plugin's results.
Does either plugin make a site ADA compliant?
No automated tool can. Both find a share of the barriers; keyboard, screen reader and cognitive testing by people is still needed.
Are these details current?
They come from the plugin's WordPress.org readme and the vendor's website on the date shown. Check their site before you decide.
