Lumi vs BrowserStack Accessibility
Dedicated accessibility scanning vs a dev testing add-on
BrowserStack is a well-known browser testing and developer tools platform that added accessibility testing as a feature. While convenient for teams already using BrowserStack, accessibility is an add-on module - not the core product - and it runs a single engine with limited rule coverage compared to dedicated accessibility tools.
What Lumi finds that BrowserStack Accessibility misses
Purpose-built for accessibility with five scanning engines
300+ rules vs axe-core's 84 - catches significantly more issues
64 custom checks that axe-core doesn't cover
Keyboard interaction testing (focus traps, tab order, focus obscured)
WCAG 2.2 checks enabled by default
Continuous monitoring with Slack/webhook alerts
Score tracking and scan comparison over time
Where BrowserStack Accessibility falls short
Accessibility is an add-on, not the core product
Single scanning engine (axe-core only)
No custom accessibility checks beyond axe-core
No keyboard interaction testing
No WCAG 2.2 specific checks
No continuous monitoring or scheduled scans
