Detailed Review
Tingtun AS is a small Norwegian company in Lillesand, registered in Brreg since 1996, that builds accessibility checkers for web pages and PDF documents. Its Page Checker tests a page against WCAG 2.1 success criteria after JavaScript and CSS are applied, and reports each test as pass, fail or to be verified. That is a different shape from the widget tools in this category, which mostly add a toolbar for visitors.
The Site Checker samples a representative set of pages, computes a score and tracks it over time, which suits monitoring and benchmarking lists of websites. The checkers have been deployed for the Swedish regulator project WTKollen, a European Commission funded initiative (EIII) and a monthly government monitoring programme for Mada in Qatar. The PDF Checker uses WCAG 2.0 PDF Techniques and accepts a URL or an upload.
Compared with Siteimprove, Silktide or Eye-Able, Tingtun is much smaller and looks less like a packaged SaaS: there is no published pricing, the site copyright is 2022, and the API is available on request. It fits teams who want a transparent checker and optional manual evaluation, less so those who need a polished dashboard or remediation workflow.
What Tingtun does well
- Checks both web pages and PDF documents
- Site score tracked over time for monitoring
- Deployed in public sector and government projects

Where Tingtun falls short

- Website looks dated and shows copyright 2022
Standout feature. A long-running Norwegian checker with site scoring over time and a PDF checker, aimed at public sector use.
