DWS Accessibility API uses monthly, plan-based quotas.
How pricing works
Plans are based on remediation volume and include the quota categories below:
- Auto-tagged pages quota — Number of pages you can process through PDF/UA auto-tagging in each billing period.
- Validation quota — Number of validation operations included in each billing period.
What counts toward quota
Quota usage is tracked by operation type:
- Each successful auto-tagging request consumes quota based on processed content.
- Validation activity is tracked separately from auto-tagging.
If you hit your limits
With pay-as-you-go, reaching your quota doesn’t have to stop your remediation pipeline. When you exhaust your monthly quota, we pre-authorize charges in $25 increments and add pages above your quota as you process them, repeating until you reach your spending cap (by default, half your monthly subscription value). We never charge beyond the cap.
When you reach the cap — or if you’ve set it to $0 to turn pay-as-you-go off — the API blocks additional requests in that category until one of the events below occurs:
- The next billing cycle starts.
- You move to a larger plan.
You control the cap in your dashboard. Pay-as-you-go is available on paid subscriptions only.
Choosing a plan
Estimate monthly volume with the factors below:
- Average number of documents remediated per month.
- Average pages per document.
- QA and validation needs.
