What drives the cost?
The four main factors that determine the effort of an accessibility audit:
Website scope
Up to 50 pages included in full audit
Technical complexity
SPAs, shops and portals require more testing effort
Testing depth
Automated scan vs. manual tests + screen reader
Documentation
Prioritized report + optional conformity declaration
ROI: Audit vs. Fine
BFSG §18 provides for administrative fines of up to €80,000 per violation. A single violation exceeds the audit price by a factor of 178.

Frequently Asked Questions on Audit Costs
- What does an accessibility audit cost in Austria?
- An automated audit starts at €0 (free quick check for 1 page). The full BFSG audit with manual testing, report, and conformity declaration costs a one-time €449 (incl. 20% VAT) — ongoing monitoring from €99/month.
- What does non-compliance under BFSG cost?
- Violations of Austria's BFSG can result in administrative fines of up to €80,000 per violation (BFSG §18). An audit at €449 is therefore a low-cost insurance against fines and legal notices.
- What is included in the €449 price?
- Included: automated WCAG 2.1 AA scan (axe-core + Lighthouse), manual check on up to 50 pages, prioritized issue report, fix instructions per problem, screen reader and keyboard test, PDF report by email in approx. 10 minutes.
- Are there cheaper alternatives?
- Free tools like Google Lighthouse detect only 20–30% of WCAG issues — without manual testing, without screen reader checks, without a legally usable report. BFSG-Scan delivers all three for a one-time €449.
- Are there any recurring costs?
- No — the full audit is a one-time payment with no subscription. Optionally, you can add ongoing monitoring (€99/month) to automatically detect new issues after updates.
