“How much does an accessibility widget cost” doesn’t have one answer, because the vendors in this category don’t all charge for the same thing. Some meter page views, some charge per domain, some bundle manual remediation into the subscription and some sell it as a separate line item, and a few don’t publish prices at all because their business is scoped work rather than a flat plan. We laid out all 11 tools we cover by pricing model and starting price, ordered roughly from lowest-friction entry point to fully custom enterprise quoting, so you can see the actual structure rather than a single number that doesn’t tell the whole story.

The four pricing patterns in this category
Free or freemium entry, paid upgrade for more coverage. UserWay and WebYes both offer a genuinely free ongoing tier, not just a trial: UserWay’s free widget plan covers smaller sites with paid tiers unlocking more of its automated remediation checks, and WebYes’s WordPress plugin has a free scanning tier with paid tiers for expanded reporting. Accessi+ isn’t free but is priced specifically for small business budgets with straightforward tiered plans by site size.
Free trial, then subscription. Wawsome uses a 7-day free trial covering its full widget, monitoring and manual checker bundle, after which it moves to paid subscription tiers billed per subdomain, meaning a business running several subdomains needs to budget for each one separately.
Tiered subscription scaled by traffic or domains, sold mid-market to enterprise. accessiBe, EqualWeb, AccessiWay, Eye-Able and AudioEye all fall into some version of this: an annual or monthly subscription that scales with page views, monthly visits, or number of sites, generally with higher tiers or custom enterprise agreements available on request. EqualWeb in particular spans a notably wide range, from small single-site plans up to large multi-domain enterprise agreements, and AudioEye publishes standard tier pricing while offering custom quotes for managed-services engagements.
Fully custom, quoted engagements. Deque and Allyant don’t sell a metered subscription at all. Deque’s core axe-core testing engine is free and open source, but its enterprise tooling (axe DevTools, axe Monitor) and manual audit and training services are quoted by seats and scan volume. Allyant is similar in spirit but for documents: pricing is scoped per document volume or project, which makes sense given its focus on large-scale PDF and publishing remediation rather than a script-tag widget.
What the sticker price doesn’t tell you
A low headline price often means the widget alone, with monitoring, manual review, audits or VPAT documentation priced as add-ons rather than included. Before comparing numbers across vendors, check whether the plan you’re looking at includes any human-reviewed component or just automated adjustments, since that difference affects both what you’re actually getting and how much you should expect to pay as your site grows.
What actually drives price up as you scale
Across nearly every vendor on this list, three variables push price higher regardless of which pricing model a vendor uses: traffic (monthly page views or visits), the number of separate domains or subdomains you need covered, and whether you add any manual, human-reviewed component on top of automation. A single small site on a metered plan can often stay in a modest starting tier for years, while the same business adding several regional subdomains, or growing into enterprise-level traffic, will move into meaningfully higher tiers even with the same vendor and the same feature set. Before comparing two vendors’ starting prices, it’s worth mapping your actual site count and rough traffic against each one’s tier structure rather than assuming the entry-level price is what you’ll pay in practice.
Regional and multi-brand pricing questions worth asking upfront
If your organization operates multiple domains, whether that’s regional sites, product-line microsites, or separate brands under one company, ask any vendor directly how licensing works before assuming a single subscription covers all of them. Some, like Wawsome, price by subdomain, meaning a company running content on several subdomains needs to budget per subdomain rather than expecting one flat fee to cover the whole footprint. Others, like EqualWeb, build multi-site management into higher tiers specifically so a franchise or multi-brand company can consolidate under one agreement. Getting a clear answer to this question before signing avoids the common surprise of a quote that’s much higher than expected once your actual site count is factored in.
Comparing quoted pricing against published pricing
It’s tempting to treat Deque and Allyant as “expensive” simply because they don’t publish numbers, but that’s not really a fair comparison. Both operate in categories, developer testing tooling and large-scale document remediation, where cost genuinely depends on scope in a way a flat subscription tier can’t capture: the price of testing a ten-page marketing site with a small development team looks nothing like testing a complex enterprise web application, and remediating a hundred PDFs looks nothing like remediating a hundred thousand. If your organization’s need actually falls into one of those categories, a quoted engagement scoped to your real volume is likely to be more accurate, not more expensive, than trying to force the work into a flat per-page-view subscription that wasn’t built for it.
