Lumi vs Silktide
Enterprise web governance vs focused accessibility scanning
Silktide is a UK-based web governance platform that includes accessibility testing alongside content quality, SEO, and marketing analytics. It's well-regarded in the public sector - but it's an enterprise tool priced accordingly, and accessibility is one module among many rather than the core focus.
What Lumi finds that Silktide misses
Purpose-built for accessibility - not a module in a larger platform
Five scanning engines vs one proprietary engine
From £29/mo vs $400+/mo - an order of magnitude more affordable
CI/CD API with pass/fail gates for developer pipelines
Keyboard interaction testing (focus traps, tab order, focus obscured)
WCAG 2.2 checks included by default
Self-serve signup with 14-day free trial - no sales calls
Where Silktide falls short
Enterprise pricing - $400-2,000+/mo puts it out of reach for most teams
Accessibility is one module, not the core product
Single proprietary scanning engine
No CI/CD integration for developer workflows
Enterprise sales process with demos and contracts
No keyboard interaction testing
