About axe DevTools
axe DevTools Extension is a browser extension from Deque for testing web pages for accessibility issues. It runs automated checks based on axe-core and adds AI-enhanced guidance that explains issues and suggests next steps. The homepage describes a free automated scan and paid review features.
The extension includes in-product remediation guidance and can scope scans to specific components or page sections. Users can customize tests against standards such as WCAG. Results can be shared through Jira or exported as JSON, CSV, or JUnit XML. The package comparison lists features such as SSO, CI/CD integration, and a monthly AI-credit allotment, but the text does not clearly show which features apply to the Free and Pro packages. The homepage states that AI-enhanced results should be reviewed and approved by users. Broader testing beyond the browser is offered through a separate product, Axe DevTools for Web.
