Stark
2026 a11y leader suite for Figma + web, with AI Code Remediation, extended contrast checking (gradients, images, APCA), native mobile scanning, MCP integration, and auto-generated compliance docs. Stark covers the full a11y pipeline from designer (Figma audit) to dev (fix snippet) via DS manager (auto-generated compliance docs).
Strengths
- Full coverage Figma + web + mobile + AI Code Remediation
- Extended contrast: gradients, images, APCA, beyond plain WCAG 2 text
- MCP integration: AI agents see a11y rules before generating
- Auto-generated compliance docs, saves days of audit prep
Limitations
- Pricing quickly high for advanced features (AI, mobile, MCP)
- No open-source a11y engine like axe-core underneath, vendor lock-in
Best for
- Multi-profile DS teams (designers + devs + DS managers) with dedicated a11y budget
- Orgs under legal obligation (DOJ April 2026 WCAG 2.1 AA, EAA June 2025) that must ship compliance docs
