An accessiBe alternative that fixes the code
accessiBe is best known for accessWidget, a script a site installs to scan and adjust pages in the visitor's browser. Accessibility Pro takes the other approach: it finds the problems in your site's code and gives your developers tested changes to ship. This page compares the two using what accessiBe publishes on its own website, as it read on 2026-09-13.
| Aspect | accessiBe, per its website | Accessibility Pro |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | accessWidget, a script added to a site that scans and applies fixes in the visitor's browser; accessFlow, a developer tool; accessScan, a free checker. | A scanner that reports problems in your code and offers code changes; no script is added to your site. |
| How fixes reach users | accessWidget describes remediation applied automatically, with "session-based UI modifications". | You apply a diff to your code and deploy it, so every visitor gets the fix. |
| Developer workflow | accessFlow lists CI/CD integration for Jenkins, CircleCI and GitLab, and ready-to-commit fixes. | A GitHub Action on every pull request; each Copy-as-PR diff is re-scanned in a sandbox before it is offered. |
| Pricing | accessWidget from USD 59 a month, priced by monthly site visits; accessFlow on request. | Free plan; Developer EUR 49, Team EUR 249 and Business EUR 899 a month, priced by pages scanned. |
| Compliance claims | Pages say "WCAG 2.2 AA-based remediation for legal compliance". | No compliance claims: reports name the criteria automation cannot test. |
A widget or a change to the code
accessWidget is installed with a code snippet, and its product page says it scans a site and remediates the issues it finds, re-scanning every 24 hours. Its own FAQ notes that there are errors it cannot fix, including captions for videos and remediating PDFs. The European Commission's web accessibility page states that overlays are not an appropriate solution and that it is best to fix accessibility issues at their source.
Accessibility Pro never changes your live site. Each finding comes with the element, the evidence and, where a code fix is possible, a diff that has been applied to a captured copy of the page and re-scanned. Your team reviews and merges it like any other change. The difference between the two approaches is covered in more depth in accessibility overlays versus scanners.
The FTC order
In January 2025 the U.S. Federal Trade Commission announced a proposed order under which accessiBe agreed to pay USD 1 million to settle allegations that it misrepresented the ability of its AI-powered tool to make websites compliant with WCAG, and that it ran advertisements formatted to look like independent reviews. The Commission approved the final order on 22 April 2025. It bars accessiBe from claiming its automated products can make any website WCAG-compliant, or keep it compliant over time, unless it has evidence to support the claim. accessiBe describes it as a non-admission settlement and says it disagrees with the FTC's claims.
Which fits your team
- If your site has no developers and nobody will change its code, a code-level scanner will find the problems but cannot fix them for you.
- If you have developers, fixing the code is what every visitor and every assistive technology benefits from, and what a later audit will look at.
- If you need to show progress to a legal team, a report that names what was tested, what failed and what automation could not check is more defensible than a claim of compliance.
See the GitHub Action and developer workflow, the plans and prices, and how accurate the scanner is in the published benchmark.
