Know what is broken, and keep the receipts

It depends which half of the problem you are buying. accessiBe is the stronger pick if you want changes applied in the visitor's browser without editing the site, or if you need the manual audits, VPAT preparation and attorney hours their higher tiers carry. Inclusify is the stronger pick if you want the full axe-core ruleset run in a real browser, findings your developers can act on with the selector and template named, and a dated record of every scan. On the visitor-facing widget the two are close, and ours is free on every plan.

For the widget, yes: all 35 Inclusify adjustments and all six profiles run on the free plan, and accessWidget's published tiers start at $59 a month after a trial. For scanning it depends on size. Inclusify is $39 to $279 a month per website by audited pages, and accessFlow is priced separately by pages and domains, so a large estate can land either way. Compare the page allowance behind the price rather than the headline figure, and remember that running accessWidget and accessFlow means buying two products.

Inclusify ships a widget, so the visitor-facing part looks similar. The difference is what sits behind it. Inclusify does not rewrite your pages to make them pass a rule. It audits the rendered page with axe-core, reports what it found with the selector to change, and keeps a dated history so you can show the work.

You get an audit trail rather than an adjustment layer. Inclusify re-scans each monitored page roughly every twenty hours, emails you when a scan finds something new, and keeps a monthly record for twenty-four months. If you keep accessWidget for the visitor toolbar, nothing stops you running Inclusify's scanning beside it.

No, and that is deliberate. Inclusify detects and reports. Automated fixes applied in the browser can mask a problem from a scanner while leaving it in place for someone using a screen reader, and they disappear the moment the script does. We would rather tell you exactly what to change.

It is public record and worth knowing. The FTC announced a complaint in January 2025 and approved a final order in April 2025 requiring accessiBe to pay $1 million. The order bars the company from representing that its automated products can make a website WCAG compliant, or keep it compliant over time, without evidence to support the claim, and it also covers third-party articles and reviews presented as independent opinions. That is a claim about marketing, not a verdict on whether the widget helps your visitors. We mention it once because it sets the line we hold ourselves to: no scan, and no widget, makes a site compliant.

Three cases, and they are real. When nobody on your side is going to change the code, so automatic remediation in the browser is the only improvement that will actually happen. When you need a person: a manual audit, a professionally prepared VPAT, or the ADA attorney consultation attached to their higher widget tiers. And when the estate is large, because accessFlow's published tiers run past 10,000 pages and 100 domains while our largest plan audits 100 pages.

Free is $0 and covers the widget on one language for up to 1,000 monthly visitors. Starter is $39 a month and adds widget customization, all 71 languages, daily monitoring of 5 pages and email alerts when a scan finds something new. Pro is $99 a month and adds 25 monitored pages, the on-demand full-site crawl, the AI content review, downloadable compliance reports and 30 days of day-by-day history. Enterprise is $279 a month with 100 monitored pages. Pricing is per website, annual billing costs ten months instead of twelve, and every paid plan starts with a 7-day trial.

Very little, and none of it is used for tracking. The widget stores a visitor's own preferences in their browser and sets no cookies. The only request it makes is a one-pixel beacon used to count monthly visits, and the visitor's IP address is hashed before it is stored, so the raw address is never written to our database. The widget does not read, copy or transmit the content of your pages.

Scans run on Inclusify's own infrastructure in a real Chrome browser, so the page is tested as a visitor's browser renders it rather than as static HTML. We store the findings, not copies of your site: rule identifiers, the selectors and short snippets needed to locate each issue, and the score. On Pro and above the AI review sends targeted material to an AI provider, specifically images that are missing alt text and short label or heading strings, never a dump of your page or your customer data. Inclusify holds no accessibility certification and is not SOC 2 audited, and nothing here should be read as implying otherwise.

Any site where you can add one script tag. There is a native Shopify app with a theme app embed, so Shopify stores install it with a toggle and no code, and documented install steps for WordPress, Magento, BigCommerce, Webflow, Wix and Squarespace. The scanner works against any URL it can reach, and password-protected Shopify stores are handled rather than failed.

Add the Inclusify snippet or install the Shopify app, confirm the widget appears, then remove the other vendor's script. There is no importer, so settings and any dismissed findings do not carry over, and the pages you want monitored are nominated once in the panel. The free plan has no time limit, so you can run both side by side for as long as you want before removing anything.
