Any tool recommendation for WCAG 2.0 validation? [closed]

I believe everyone now a days is working hard to make web pages WCAG 2.0 compliant. Can you share any good tool for the same that you have come across?

Here are some good tools that I came across-

1. http://www.powermapper.com/products/sortsite/index.htm

Advantages:

1. It does WCAG 2.0, WCAG 1.0, browser compatibility and many other checks
2. Low cost

Disadvantage:

1. it seems it doesn't have command line API.(as per my initial evaluation)
2. Web mode doesn't support HTML upload

2. http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php

Advantages:

  1. Free!!!
  2. Supports WCAG 2.0
  3. Has web service API

Disadvantages:

  1. Web service API doesn't support HTML file upload. It expects that the HTML file is deployed somewhere on web

Is WCAG 2.0 a legal requirement?

For federal agencies and their contractors, yes, they are required to conform with WCAG 2.0. For private businesses, the answer is more complicated: they're not required by law to comply with any specific standard like WCAG, but their websites do have to be accessible.

What is WCAG Compliance Checker?

The accessibility checker auditing tool scans your website and checks for accessibility errors and issues worldwide (WCAG 2.1 level AA) and local (selected countries only) standards and legislations.

I used to work for a company that produces a free Chrome and Firefox extension that tests against accessibility standards including WCAG 2.0, based on an open source accessibility testing library.

Slightly nervous as this might be viewed as promotion but I don't work there any more. I will delete this answer if this is frowned upon.
