Here's a basic comparison of Open Source vs. Proprietary projects from [An Open Source Survey](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265411256_Open_Source_Software_A_Survey_from_10000_Feet):

## What does Equalify currently do?
3729

38-
It should go without saying that the values of Open Source projects are more ethical than the values of proprietary projects.
30+
The app currently scans websites for WCAG errors.

If the Pro plan is indeed designed to sustain Equalify, we must focus on that goal (and temper our desires with [basic income nest eggs](https://bbertucc.notion.site/Basic-Income-Nest-Eggs-4b555b09d02d40389086c01ec84c1424)).
32+
You can import pages from WordPress, XML sitemaps, and single URLs. Equalify then crawls all your pages for WCAG 2.1 errors using the popular [WAVE scan](https://wave.webaim.org/).

Onward and upward!

Every alert is reported on a filterable dashboard.
