Big Changes are Coming!

Equalify has officially transitioned to a project of the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) Technology Solutions department! This marks a new chapter for Equalify, but we remain focused on our goal: bringing top-in-class acessibility scanning and reporting tools to the widest possible audience.

We built Equalify as a multi-tenant, SaaS platform, but after 3 years and tens of thousands of scans, we believe users want something different - something simple, robust, and easy-to-use, and that can be deployed by users themselves, without a dedicated DevOps team. That means we'll be moving in a new direction for Equalify, with the goal of a streamlined application, with straightforward deployment. We aim to make Equalify as easy to install as any popular open source project. Here's what this means:

What to Expect:

• Ease of Deployment Our priority will be to make it as simple and painless as possible for users to spin up their own instances of Equalify
• Unified Codebase A consolidated codebase, to make it simpler for developers to contribute and act as a single entry point for end users and developers
• Customization Prioritize extensibility, and make it as straightforward as possible for users to add their own scans, modify the user interface, etc
• Better Documentation Simplify adoption by unifying and expanding existing documentation
• Always Open Source Continued Open Source development under the AGPL.
• Best Accessible User Experience Fixing accessibility bugs is mission-critical to Equalify.

Beta Roadmap (Q1 2026)

• Technology that Promotes our Open Source Community
  • Deployment in 30 minutes or less
  • Handles 100 pages/minute without breaking a sweat
  • Costs less than $1000/month for typical usage
  • No critical bugs
  • Documentation that doesn't suck
