Inclusify vs AudioEye

See what is broken, and keep the record that you fixed it

AudioEye pairs automation with certified experts who write custom fixes, and a legal assurance behind it. Inclusify is the engineering side: real-browser audits, dated reports, findings your agents can query.

Where Inclusify fits

Inclusify is the engineering side of this: audits, findings and a dated record, at a published price. Here is what that fits, and where AudioEye is the better call.

  • 4 fit Inclusify
  • 1 no tool settles on its own
  • 2 we would point at AudioEye
  • Inclusify

    You want to read the price and start today

    Their plans page routes every tier to a conversation. Every Inclusify price is published.

  • Inclusify

    You want the rule set named, and run against the page a browser renders

    The full axe-core ruleset in headless Chrome, and it is open source, so what it tests is checkable.

  • Inclusify

    Your developers want findings in Slack, Jira or their own AI tools

    22 MCP tools over OAuth on the account's own scans. Their developer tools document CSV export you upload yourself.

  • Inclusify

    You want per-page history with dates on it, not a report at review time

    Re-scanned roughly every 20 hours, 30 days of daily history on Pro, 24 months of monthly record.

  • Neither

    You want one script to take care of accessibility on its own

    Nothing here does that, ours included. Automated testing reaches part of WCAG 2.1 AA, not all of it.

  • AudioEye

    You want somebody else to write the fixes for your site

    Their managed plan puts certified experts on what automation leaves. Inclusify has no equivalent.

  • AudioEye

    You need a certification, an expert audit, or a commercial assurance

    AudioEye issues one for the pages it covers and sells Assurance. Inclusify signs nothing.

What automated testing reaches, and what it does not

These shares are percentages of WCAG success criteria, not percentages of the issues on your page. The two get quoted as if they were the same number and they are not. Six evaluation tools benchmarked against WCAG 2.0 covered between 23% and 50% of the success criteria, and one criterion in two was not analysed by any tool at all.

  1. A tool decides

    23%

    of WCAG success criteria

    Criteria a scanner can pass or fail on its own, such as contrast ratios, missing alt attributes, unlabeled form controls and duplicate ids. 23% is the conservative end of the 23% to 50% range measured across the six tools.

  2. A tool points, a person decides

    27%

    of WCAG success criteria

    Criteria a tool reaches for some of the ways they can fail but not all, so it narrows the page down to candidates and a person makes the call. This is the rest of the covered half, up to the 50% ceiling the same benchmark measured.

  3. Only a person can judge

    50%

    of WCAG success criteria

    Criteria no tool analysed at all: whether alt text describes the image, whether focus order follows the visual order, whether an error message can be understood, whether a custom component behaves under a screen reader.

Including Inclusify

This is a limit of automated testing, not a gap in one vendor's product, and Inclusify sits inside it with everyone else. Our scanner runs axe-core in a real browser and it reaches the same kind of criteria the benchmark describes, which means the larger half of this chart is still work for a person and still needs changes in your code. We detect, report and track. Anything sold as covering the rest on its own is describing a product that does not exist yet.

Where these figures come from

More than an overlay

Where Inclusify is the stronger choice.

  • Widgets and overlays

    Acts on
    The visitor's browser, on top of the page your server already sent.
    Changes
    What that visitor sees and hears: text size and spacing, contrast, color filters, motion, reading aids and text to speech.
    Cannot do
    It cannot change the markup your developers ship, so the underlying page is unchanged for everyone who never opens it, and that is as true of Inclusify's widget as of any other.

  • Compared on this page

    Enterprise platforms

    Acts on
    Your roadmap, through audit hours, remediation help and an account team.
    Changes
    Which findings get prioritized and fixed, with people attached to the software rather than software alone.
    Cannot do
    The work is bounded by the hours in the contract, so coverage stops where the retainer stops.

  • Testing and monitoring platforms

    Acts on
    Your pages, crawled and tested on a schedule from outside the site.
    Changes
    Nothing on the site itself. It produces the list your developers work through.
    Cannot do
    It reports rather than repairs, so nothing improves for a visitor until someone ships the change.

  • Platform-native apps

    Acts on
    Your store, installed from the platform's own marketplace and billed through it.
    Changes
    Whatever the platform lets an app change, usually a theme embed and settings in the admin.
    Cannot do
    It is scoped to the one platform it is sold on, so it does not follow you to a site that marketplace does not cover.

  1. A price you can read

    Every Inclusify plan price is published, the free plan needs no card, and a paid plan starts with a trial. AudioEye routes all three tiers to a conversation.

  2. A rule set you can read

    The full axe-core ruleset in headless Chrome, against the page a browser actually renders. It is open source, so what it tests is checkable.

  3. Findings your own tools can pull

    22 MCP tools over OAuth expose the account's violations, history and crawl results. Their developer tools document CSV export you upload yourself.

  4. Behaviour, not only rule counts

    A real Tab walk that names focus traps and obscured focus, plus a screen-reader transcript taken from the live accessibility tree.

  5. Every domain in one account

    Multiple domains under one organisation, one set of findings, one bill, and a partner portal for agencies, priced by audited pages rather than by service tier.

Being straight about it

What Inclusify does not do

Four things AudioEye does that we do not. If one of them is what you came for, better to read it here than to find out after installing.

  1. Human remediation, included

    Automation reaches a limit on every site. Their managed plan puts certified experts, including testers who use assistive technology daily, on the rest. Inclusify has no equivalent.

  2. Expert audits and a certification

    AudioEye pairs automation with manual auditing and issues a certification for the pages it covers. Inclusify produces a dated scan record and nothing a specialist has signed.

  3. A legal support offering

    AudioEye Assurance is a commercial commitment on the pages they cover. Inclusify makes no promise of that kind and does not sell one.

  4. Scale, volume and longevity

    More than 129,000 customers, over 20 years in the market and a public listing, against our 100-page ceiling. That is a different kind of assurance from a feature table.

What price actually buys

Only one side of this comparison publishes a figure. The honest version of a pricing section is to say so.

  1. $0FreeWidget, 1,000 visitors
  2. $39Starter5 monitored pages
  3. $99Pro25 pages, crawl, AI review
  4. $279Enterprise100 monitored pages

Per website. Annual billing costs ten months. The free plan needs no card; paid plans start with a 7-day trial.

What AudioEye publishes

Three tiers, Basic, Self-Serviced and Managed, and no monthly or annual figure published for any of them: one routes to a sign-up, the other two to a conversation. Third-party listings quote numbers and we are not going to repeat them. Ask what the remediation hours cover.

How to decide between Inclusify and AudioEye.

  1. Software, or software with people attached?

    Their proposition is automation plus experts plus an assurance. Ours is a tool. Work out which one you are short of.

  2. Who is going to make the fixes?

    This decides it. If the answer is nobody, a reporting tool changes nothing and their managed plan is the realistic route.

  3. Do you need something signed?

    They issue a certification for the pages they cover. We produce the dated evidence underneath one, not the statement.

  4. How many pages really need auditing?

    Count templates, not URLs. If the answer is still in the thousands, our 100-page ceiling is the wrong shape.

  5. What happens between engagements?

    A managed engagement fixes what exists today, and the site changes every week. Ask who hears about a regression.

Same table, other tools: Inclusify vs accessiBe, Inclusify vs UserWay, Inclusify vs EqualWeb.

They are not really the same purchase. AudioEye is the stronger pick if you want certified experts writing custom fixes, an expert audit and certification, a commercial assurance offering, or coverage of an estate running to thousands of pages. Inclusify is the stronger pick if you want a published price and a free plan, the full axe-core ruleset run in a real browser, keyboard and screen-reader behaviour tested rather than only rules counted, and findings your developers can pull into Slack, Jira and their AI tools. Plenty of teams would sensibly run one after the other rather than choose.

We cannot claim that, because AudioEye publishes no price. Their plans page lists three tiers and routes them to a conversation, and quoting a figure from a review site would not be their price list. What we can state is ours: $0 on the free plan, then $39, $99 and $279 a month per website by audited pages, with the widget, the scanner and the crawl on the same plan. Compare that against whatever they quote you, and count the remediation hours in their number.

Engineering visibility. Inclusify audits your pages in a real browser, keeps issue history per page, and exposes findings to Slack, Jira and AI agents through the MCP server so your developers can work on them directly. It does not replace the remediation work AudioEye does for you.

Yes, and we say so in the table. AudioEye publishes a testing SDK as an MCP server for developers to run against a page they are building. Inclusify's MCP server answers questions about the scans already recorded on your account, which is a different job.

Less than that, deliberately. Inclusify does not present itself as fixing issues automatically. It detects and reports them against WCAG 2.1 AA, suggests fixes for the rules where a suggestion is safe to make, and records what changed between scans so the work can be tracked.

No, and neither can any automated product on its own. Inclusify detects and reports WCAG 2.1 AA issues, tracks them per page over time, and gives you dated documentation of that work. Fixing them is a decision your team makes.

When the work needs a person or a signature. Certified manual auditing, custom remediation written for your site, a certification covering the pages they are engaged on, or the AudioEye Assurance commitment. Also when the estate is large: our plans top out at 100 audited pages. And when nobody on your side is going to act on a report, because then a tool that only detects and reports will not move anything.

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.
