Free Hoverify alternative for inspecting fonts, colors and CSS

Updated 2026-10-06 · Hoverify facts from its pricing page, checked 2026-10-06

Short answer: if you mostly use Hoverify to inspect CSS, pick colors and identify fonts, Kernhue does those three jobs for free in Chrome — plus a WCAG contrast check and design-token export. Hoverify remains the better buy if you need its full toolbox: responsive viewer, SEO checker, screenshots and assets.
