AudioEye’s combination of industry-leading automation, expert testing, and custom accessibility fixes offers 400% more protection from legal claims than automation-only solutions.

WHY BRANDS CHOOSE AUDIOEYE
Industry-leading automation, backed by real end-user testing
If you’re considering automated accessibility solutions like accessiBe, UserWay, or EqualWeb, you likely recognize the value of using technology to improve your website's accessibility.
It's important to understand that these companies recently claimed that automation alone would fix 90-100% of your website, which is a false claim. Some have recently claimed that they do custom fixes, but these claims need to be taken with a grain of salt.

OUR APPROACH
Four ways we beat automation-only solutions on compliance
- Learn about our platform
1.
Our platform detects and fixes the most accessibility issues
Our platform can automatically test 33 of the 56 WCAG 2.2 Level A/AA criteria. That’s almost double what tools like accessiBe, UserWay, and EqualWeb can test.
We don’t just test the most criteria, either. Our platform can automatically fix up to 50% of issues detected within minutes of installation — more than any other automated solution. And unlike most automated tools, we back our technology with custom testing and fixes from real accessibility experts — giving you peace of mind that your website is fully compliant. - Learn about Expert Audits
2.
We back our technology with expert custom testing
Automation-only solutions can give you real-time insight into your website’s accessibility, but they’ll never tell you the full story — or help you be fully compliant.
At AudioEye, we supplement our Active Monitoring and Automated Fixes with a deep roster of accessibility experts, including 80+ people with disabilities. Our team audits key pages from your website we choose together to help ensure that your highest-trafficked pages also receive the most comprehensive testing and fixes — improving the user experience and reducing your legal risk. - Learn about Custom Fixes
3.
Our experts actually fix the issues that automation cannot
Due to FTC actions and class action lawsuits describing deceptive claims that automation alone is sufficient to become compliant, vendors like UserWay, accessiBe, and EqualWeb have recently said they can make fixes for you. However, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
We have the highest levels of protection in the industry because our accessibility experts write custom fixes for issues that can’t be fixed by automation. - Learn about AudioEye Assurance
4.
Our legal protection extends all the way to court, if needed
Other accessibility vendors boast large guarantees from $10K to $1M, but fine print protects them from virtually ever having to pay them out. At AudioEye, we stand behind our solution and pay out a set amount for any page we certify that receives a valid claim, if you purchase AudioEye Assurance.
We don’t just rely on our real guarantee, either. If you receive a demand letter or lawsuit about your website’s accessibility, our legal experts will work with you to examine the claims and craft a line-by-line response to each one. We've even appeared in court to defend our clients — and are the only accessibility vendor to get a lawsuit dismissed in court for no settlement.
“Working with AudioEye helped us save time and money corresponding with the Plaintiff. Overall, it saved us from anxiety about being hit with another lawsuit.”
— Melissa Risco, Brand Manager | Gendarme

Competitor comparison
How does AudioEye stack up to automated accessibility testing tools?
AudioEye
Detect and fix more accessibility issues with a scalable solution that pairs AI-powered automation with human expertise.
Enjoy peace of mind with 24/7 automated accessibility monitoring
Stay ahead of compliance with the industry’s most automated accessibility fixes
Catch what automation alone can’t with expert-led testing of your most important pages
accessiBe
Primarily an automated tool, with limited manual testing.
Promises full compliance in 48 hours, despite the FTC ordering accessiBe to pay $1M to settle allegations that it misrepresented the ability of its AI-powered tool to make any website WCAG-compliant.
Does not offer 24/7 accessibility monitoring, enabling violations to slip through the cracks.
Promotes “custom fixes” under certain plans but there is no evidence of this
Litigation support package only includes an automated report, not a custom debunk report addressing specific issues in a legal claim
UserWay
Automation-only tool with limited legal support and guarantee.
Claims to automatically detect and fix up to 90% of issues, leading to a class action lawsuit accusing the company of making misleading claims about its accessibility widget.
Does not offer custom accessibility fixes.
Refers customers to Level Access (parent company) even though they don’t fix it for you.
Legal guarantee of $10K requires you to lose in court to collect, which often costs many multiples of that.
EqualWeb
Discount accessibility solution that overstates the efficacy of its widget.
Falsely claims to automatically fix 85-95% of accessibility issues
Falsely claims that none of their clients have been sued, despite ~30 clients being sued in the last year.
Don’t appear to actually provide custom accessibility fixes despite promoting this service.
Don't settle for partial protection
Our combination of AI-based automation and expert custom testing offers up to 400% more protection from legal claims than automation-only solutions.
