Would you pay for an automated site audit?

Imagine a service that would find unhandled form errors, broken UI elements, 404s, etc. Would you pay for it? What things would you want it to check for?

    Would I pay for an automated site audit? Probably not. There are already free tools that do a pretty good job of analyzing various different aspects of a site.

    Would I pay for a human site audit? Of course, but that's more along the lines of a usability test. I'm honestly not sure I would trust an automated test to give me what I'd want to hear. I'd want less tangible results and more holistic results, if that makes sense.

    For example, how would an automated audit know if a form sends data to the right email, or if the links are going to the correct places (maybe not just broken links) or if the copywriting is confusing?
