If your organization is considering a website accessibility audit, the first question is often: How much does a WCAG audit cost?
The short answer is that cost depends on the product's size, unique views and user journeys, and the depth of testing. Not every website needs dozens of hours of work, and not every organization needs a full enterprise-system review.
The figures below are indicative ranges for the Polish market in 2026. They are not a price list or a commercial offer; every product requires an individual scope.
What determines the price?
Auditors price meaningful differences, not simply URL count. Twenty pages built from two templates may require less work than a five-screen application with complex dialogs, validation, and live updates.
The main factors include:
- the number of unique templates and components
- critical journeys such as registration, checkout, and payment
- forms, authentication, and dynamic states
- PDF documents and multimedia
- target standard and conformance level
- browser, device, and assistive-technology coverage
- report detail, consultation, and follow-up testing
Indicative 2026 ranges in Poland
Simple business site or landing page
Approximately PLN 700–1,500 for a small set of representative pages and a limited number of interactive elements.
Standard business website
Approximately PLN 1,500–3,500, depending on templates, navigation, forms, and reusable components.
Online store
Approximately PLN 3,000–8,000. E-commerce testing should cover product discovery, cart, checkout, payment, account functions, errors, and confirmations—not only product pages.
Web applications and complex systems
These usually require an individual quote. Role-based access, data tables, editors, dashboards, and highly dynamic workflows can materially increase the test scope.
Why quotes differ
A low-cost scan and a professional audit are different services. Automated tools catch useful technical issues, but they cannot determine whether focus order is logical, an error message is understandable, or a complete journey works with a screen reader.
A lower quote may also exclude remediation guidance, assistive-technology testing, consultation, or verification after fixes. Compare scope and deliverables, not just the final number.
What should a good report contain?
Each finding should identify the affected location, explain the barrier and user impact, reference the relevant WCAG criterion, rate severity, and offer a practical recommendation. Screenshots, code examples, and reproduction steps make remediation much faster.
How to request an accurate quote
Provide the website or test-environment URL, a list of key templates, critical user journeys, information about PDFs and media, the expected WCAG level, and whether a follow-up audit is required.
An audit is valuable even without an explicit legal obligation. It reveals barriers, protects future development from repeated mistakes, and gives the team concrete evidence for prioritizing improvements.
