Pricing details
The cost of the Accessibility Checker Author Tool is $299/year for single-institution networks and $499/year for shared networks.
To provide frequently-requested accessibility checker functionality, Pressbooks incurs ongoing costs to maintain and support this feature. By offering it for an add-on fee, clients may choose whether to make it available with a network-level opt-in.
How to enable
If you’d like to activate this new feature for your network, please email Premium Support or reach out to your account manager.
