AudioEye vs UserWay: Which solution is right for you?

UserWay’s combination of automation and manual audits can appeal to organizations looking for more than just automation. But it ignores how much time and expertise is required to solve the high-risk issues that drive web accessibility claims. UserWay leaves those fixes to your team, and its legal guarantee only pays out if you lose at an appellate court. AudioEye resolves ~97% of issues through automation and expert-written custom fixes, so your team isn't the last line of defense.

“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.”
