  • Consider accessiBe if ...

    • You’re a small business taking a first step toward accessibility and want a low-cost entry point, though it's worth noting automation alone has limits the FTC formally documented in its $1M settlement with accessiBe in 2025.

“When we received the ADA complaint, which came with a large settlement demand and potentially significant legal costs, we were confident there was no merit in the claim because of AudioEye. Before AudioEye, we really didn't know which accessibility vendor was right as there are confusing options out there, including ones that make false promises.”
