When it makes sense. Keep Stark, or challenge it?
Keep if
You design interfaces and must meet WCAG standards.
You work in Figma.
Stark becomes worthwhile when
+You use it at least once a week
+The monthly cost ($6.06) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You have no legal accessibility requirements.
You're looking for a full accessibility audit post-project.
Stark becomes too expensive when
−You use it less than once a month
−A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
