    • You're in a high-risk litigation industry.

    • You've received a demand letter or been sued.
      AudioEye has a documented courtroom case dismissal with no judgment, not a guarantee you'd have to lose in court to collect.

  • Consider UserWay if ...

    • You need a low-cost starting point, understand you're getting a widget and audit reports rather than a full platform, and are comfortable with conformance claims that are currently subject to a class action complaint.

“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.”
