Best Stark Alternatives

Looking for a Stark alternative? Stark is catches contrast and accessibility problems in Figma before a developer ever touches the code. That's a good fit for plenty of teams, but not everyone — here are 4 real accessibility tools worth comparing it against, each with an honest take on what it does differently. axe DevTools is the one people mention most: built on axe-core, the engine quietly powering most other a11y scanners — go to the source instead of a wrapper around it. WAVE is another solid option — paste a URL, get an instant visual overlay of every WCAG violation — the fastest gut-check before reaching for anything heavier. None of these are ranked by who pays the most to be listed first; they're ordered the same way the rest of this directory is, sponsors aside.
