User reviews

As a product designer, Stark has transformed how I approach accessible design. The automated color contrast checking, focus order visualization, and color blindness simulation have helped me catch accessibility issues early. The touch target size checker is particularly useful for mobile designs. Their documentation and tips have also improved my understanding of WCAG guidelines. A must have for any designer serious about creating inclusive products

Not worth it. Nice UI, and I get that you have to monetize, but I'm not signing up just to get the same info dev tools can give me. At least make some features accessible without an account.

Stark says on their website that their "Starter" (free) version includes "WCAG Scans in browser", which is technically true I guess, it does let me scan the page... However, it won't show me the actual result unless I upgrade to a premium subscription, so that is pretty useless. Manual tools work fine though, I'm just annoyed with the false advertising.
