Best European Web Accessibility

#1 Eye-Able

Würzburg, Germany No prices are published on eye-able.com. The site offers a free website accessibility check (PDF report in under 2 minutes), a 'Get started free' sign-up and a free initial consultation; paid plans are arranged through the vendor. Free website accessibility check and free start offered; trial terms not detailed

Best for: German-speaking teams needing scanning plus widget

• Operating company. Web Inclusion GmbH
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Where the data sits. Website on Hetzner (Germany); dashboard API on Scaleway (EU data centres), CDN Bunny (Slovenia, European servers); dashboard database at PlanetScale, Inc. (US company, SCCs in place)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. AccessiBe, UserWay, Siteimprove Accessibility

Eye-Able is a German platform from Web Inclusion GmbH in Würzburg that bundles several layers of web accessibility in one account. The Audit and Report module scans pages against WCAG, EN 301 549 and national rules such as BFSG, and keeps a monitoring history. Guided and manual test workflows add checks that automated scans miss, and an accessibility statement generator covers the paperwork.

On the visitor side, the Assist widget offers more than 25 functions such as text size, contrast, reading aids, plain language and translation. The Access module uses AI to fix certain issues with one click, and a PDF module analyses documents. Compared with narrower peers like PDFix or axes4 (PDF only) or Web Accessibility Checker (scanner and widget), the scope is wide.

Weaknesses are mostly commercial and architectural. Prices are not published, so budgeting requires a demo call, unlike AccessiWay or PDFix which show figures. Widget-style fixes remain debated in the accessibility community and do not replace fixing source code. The dashboard database runs at PlanetScale, a US company, under SCCs, which matters for strict EU-only buyers.

Standout feature. Few European vendors combine a scanner, monitoring dashboard, user widget and PDF checks under one German contract.

#2 Silktide

Birmingham, United Kingdom (Silktide Limited); Copenhagen, Denmark (Silktide ApS) Founded 2001 Silktide does not publish prices. Its pricing page states that it provides a tailored quote based on the organization's requirements, with the proposal confirming areas, coverage, usage allowances, support and contract terms. Plans are Grow (AI visibility and analytics), Protect (governance: content, accessibility, user experience, compliance) and Complete (all three, adding SOC 2 Type II assurance, VPAT, SAML SSO and role-based access).

Best for: Teams monitoring accessibility, content and compliance together

• Operating company. Silktide ApS (CVR 45514420) for customers in Europe outside the UK and Ireland; Silktide Limited (England and Wales, company number 04242422) for UK and Ireland customers
• Jurisdiction. EU (Denmark)
• Where the data sits. Selectable hosting region: Europe (AWS EMEA SARL, processing in the European Union), United States or APAC. Optional AI features can be processed in an EU region (Google Cloud EMEA, Mistral AI SAS). Some support and identity sub-processors (Intercom, Inc.; Okta, Inc.) process in the US or regionally.
• Independent checks. SOC 2 Type 2 attestation; VPAT available
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Siteimprove, Monsido, Sitemorse

Silktide is a website governance platform that started in 2001 and sells accessibility testing as one part of a wider package. Its Protect plan bundles accessibility, content quality, user experience and compliance checks, and covers PDFs as well as web pages.

Tests run on a schedule, issues are scored against WCAG success criteria, and fixes can be retested before the score updates. That makes it a monitoring and project-management tool for the people who run a site, rather than something visitors see.

The workflow is where it differs from the peers on this page. AI analysis groups findings by shared cause and proposes fixes with priorities and effort estimates, which become tasks that any number of users can work on or that are pushed to an existing task system. A draft accessibility statement can be generated from the test results. Administrators can switch AI providers off, and the testing and reporting still work without them.

For European buyers the contracting entity is Silktide ApS in Denmark (Silktide Limited for the UK and Ireland), and the hosting region can be set to Europe on AWS in the EU. Compared with Eye-Able or AccessiWay it is not an end-user widget, and unlike Siteimprove or PDFix it is not a pure accessibility or document specialist. Pricing is quote-only.

Standout feature. It turns scheduled accessibility test results into prioritised, assignable fix tasks alongside content and compliance monitoring.

#3 Siteimprove

Copenhagen, Denmark Founded 2003 No prices are published on siteimprove.com; the Master Subscription Agreement refers to fees in a Service Order, so plans are quoted after a demo request.

Best for: Large organisations monitoring many sites and documents

• Operating company. Siteimprove A/S (CVR 25537017)
• Jurisdiction. EU (Denmark)
• Where the data sits. Per the EU DPA, personal data is stored within the EU/EEA by an organisation established in the EU/EEA unless the customer instructs otherwise; sub-processors listed in DPA Appendix 2
• Independent checks. Listed in the CSA STAR registry (Level One self-assessment) since 2018; data centre providers follow ISO 27001 practices per the DPA
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Deque axe Monitor, Level Access, Monsido

Siteimprove A/S is a Copenhagen company, founded in 2003, whose privacy notice names it as primary controller (CVR 25537017). Its accessibility product scans websites, PDFs, documents and content behind logins or VPNs on a schedule, prioritises issues and tracks progress over time. Newer AI agents suggest code fixes, check whether alt text matches the image and remediate PDFs. The company reports more than 5,000 organisations as customers, mostly enterprises, universities and public bodies.

Compared with the other tools on this page, it sits at the large-platform end. Eye-Able and Silktide also monitor sites and add reporting, while AccessiWay and Wawsome centre on a visitor-facing widget, and PDFix and axes4 specialise in PDF tagging and validation. Siteimprove covers monitoring, document checks and remediation guidance in one account, and adds SEO, analytics and content strategy modules that other tools here do not offer.

The trade-offs are cost and scope. Prices are not published, so you need a demo and a quote, and the platform is built for organisations with a dedicated web or compliance team. Small sites will find it heavy next to Web Accessibility Checker or a free PAC check. It also does not give end users an assistive toolbar the way Recite Me does.

Standout feature. One platform for accessibility monitoring across web and documents, built by a Danish company that serves thousands of enterprise customers.

#4 Web Accessibility Checker

Aubagne, France Prices exclude VAT. Starter: €29/month or €290/year, 1 website, monthly scans, accessibility widget, compliance certificate, email alerts, WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 checks. Pro: €79/month or €790/year, up to 10 websites, weekly scans, widget, certificate, PDF reports and export, API access (100 requests/hour), priority support. Agency: €199/month or €1990/year, up to 50 websites, daily scans, white-label widget, API access, team management (20 seats), custom branding, dedicated support. One-time Audit Report: €49 (written report, fix guidance with WCAG references, no subscription). Free scan without signup. Free scan without signup; no free trial of paid plans found

Best for: Small sites wanting cheap EAA monitoring

• Operating company. METIS SAS
• Jurisdiction. EU (France)
• Where the data sits. Hosting provider named in legal notice: o2switch (France); privacy policy does not state data location and lists Cloudflare, Stripe and Google (US) as processors
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. AccessiBe, UserWay, Siteimprove (basic monitoring)

Web Accessibility Checker is a French service from METIS SAS (Aubagne) that combines a free scanner, scheduled monitoring and a user-facing widget. Its public pricing runs from €29 per month for one site to €199 per month for up to 50 sites, plus a one-off €49 audit report. That is unusually transparent next to Eye-Able, Silktide, Siteimprove or Recite Me, which all sell on request.

The scope is narrower than the enterprise platforms. It scans for WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 issues and EAA readiness with a fixed set of automated checks (the homepage states 21 per scan), delivers reports, alerts and a certificate, and adds an optional widget. It has no manual audit programme, no content or SEO modules like Siteimprove, and no PDF remediation like PDFix or axes4.

The vendor is candid that no widget makes a site compliant and says fixing the reported code is what counts, which is a healthier stance than many overlay sellers, including AccessiWay's overlay-first approach. The company is young, with no stated founding date or certifications, and its privacy policy lists several US processors, so larger buyers should ask about data handling.

Standout feature. One of the few accessibility monitoring services on this page that publishes plain euro prices, starting at €29 per month.

#5 Accessiway

Turin, Italy Annual plans start from €1,500/year (Bronze: platform dashboard, accessibility statement, basic WCAG 2.2 AA audit; Silver: expert audit, continuous monitoring, remediation guidance, badge, litigation support; Gold: retesting, governance across sites, dedicated expert and manager; Enterprise: custom). Accessiway Widget billed annually by site size: up to 1,000 pages €490/year, up to 10,000 pages €1,490/year, up to 100,000 pages €3,490/year, above 100,000 pages on request. The pricing page states a widget alone will not make a site compliant.

Best for: Italian and DACH sites wanting widget plus audits

• Operating company. Accessiway S.r.l.
• Jurisdiction. EU (Italy)
• Where the data sits. EU: legal overview states data is processed within the European Union on EU-based infrastructure; widget IP addresses are anonymised via a proxy in the EU
• Independent checks. Vendor says its experts hold IAAP certifications (staff credentials, not a product certification); Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Accessibility 2026 listing claimed by vendor
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. accessiBe, UserWay, AudioEye

Accessiway is an Italian vendor (Accessiway S.r.l., Turin) that sells two quite different things under one name: a managed audit and monitoring platform, and a front-end widget. The widget is an overlay product, meaning it adds a toolbar and automated fixes on top of an existing site instead of changing the source code. The vendor's own pricing page admits that a widget alone will not make a site compliant.

That honesty matters, because overlays are the part of this market where regulators, disability groups and courts are most sceptical. The audit tiers are the more defensible offer: a WCAG 2.2 AA audit, continuous monitoring, remediation guidance, an accessibility statement and litigation support for EU and US cases, with expert staff holding IAAP certifications according to the vendor.

Compared with Eye-Able, Silktide, Siteimprove or Web Accessibility Checker on this page, Accessiway is more of a services bundle than a pure scanner, and prices are only partly public. Its privacy policy says the widget is developed by accessiBe Ltd. and distributed by Accessiway, so check data flows and the supplier chain in your contract.

Standout feature. A euro-priced widget and managed audit service from a team.blue group company, with honest wording about overlay limits.

#6 Recite Me

Gateshead, United Kingdom Founded 2010 Recite Me does not publish prices. The vendor's site offers a free automated homepage scan and a personalised 30 minute demo; quotes are given after the demo. Free automated homepage scan; demo on request (no self-serve trial found)

Best for: UK and enterprise sites wanting a managed toolbar plus audits

• Operating company. Recite Me Limited
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. UserWay, accessiBe, Browsealoud

Recite Me is a UK accessibility company based in Gateshead, incorporated in 2010 as Recite Me Limited. Its best known product is a cloud assistive toolbar that lets visitors change fonts, colours and spacing, hear the page read aloud, translate it and use a screen mask. Around it sit an accessibility checker aimed at WCAG 2.2, PDF remediation, manual audits, documentation and training.

Compared with the other candidates in this category it sits closest to the widget-plus-services end. Eye-Able and AccessiWay also combine a visitor-facing widget with scanning, while Silktide and Siteimprove lean towards monitoring and governance dashboards. Recite Me is the one that most explicitly packages audits, documentation and training for compliance evidence, with strong UK public sector and charity positioning (PSBAR, Equality Act).

Weaker points are openness and fit. Prices are not published and a demo is needed for a quote, unlike AccessiWay or Web Accessibility Checker where euro figures are visible. A toolbar also does not fix the underlying code, so it complements rather than replaces remediation. Ownership is private (a UK investment manager and a founder each hold 25 to 50 percent per Companies House), with offices in the US and Australia.

Standout feature. One UK vendor covering visitor toolbar, scanner, PDF remediation and manual audits for compliance evidence.

#7 Wawsome

Bucharest, Romania Founded 2024 Accessibility Widget: Starter up to 100k monthly page views €29.90/mo (€23.75/mo billed yearly); Medium Business up to 1M page views €99.90/mo (€75.90/mo billed yearly); Enterprise unlimited page views, custom price. Accessibility Monitor: 50 pages €34.90/mo (€27.90/mo yearly), 250 pages €159.90/mo (€123.33/mo yearly), 1000 pages €579.90/mo (€416.65/mo yearly). 7-day free trial on the widget plans, 30-day money-back guarantee stated on the pricing page. Free one-off URL scan with the Accessibility Checker. 7-day free trial on the widget plans, 30-day money-back guarantee (pricing page)

Best for: Small EU sites needing a quick widget

• Operating company. Wawsome Accessibility SRL
• Jurisdiction. EU (Romania)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. accessiBe, UserWay, AudioEye

Wawsome is a young Romanian vendor (Wawsome Accessibility SRL, Bucharest) that sells three connected products: an AI-driven accessibility widget, a scheduled monitoring service and a free URL checker. It targets small and mid-sized shops and agencies that must show progress on the European Accessibility Act. Setup is one line of code, with ready-made Shopify, WordPress and Google Tag Manager routes.

Pricing is public and euro-based, which is not the case for Eye-Able, Silktide, Siteimprove or Recite Me, where you must ask for a quote. The widget starts at €29.90 per month for up to 100k page views, and monitoring starts at €34.90 per month for 50 pages. That is easy to compare with AccessiWay and Web Accessibility Checker, which also publish prices.

The weak spot is depth and track record. It is a widget-first, overlay-style approach: the Terms say it only covers HTML content, does not work inside iframes and needs JavaScript. Eye-Able and Silktide go further on audits and reporting for larger organisations, and nothing here covers PDFs, where PDFix or axes4 are the specialists. Hosting location is not stated, and the Terms say website data may be used to train AI models.

Standout feature. One of the few vendors on this page that publishes both widget and monitoring prices in euro, with a free checker as the entry point.

#8 Sitemorse

London, United Kingdom Fixed list prices on the vendor's pricing page, shown in US$ per month (two months free when paid annually, fourth year free on three years in advance): each domain $300, each extra schedule $30 (including a mobile-site schedule), key pages add-on $30, content activity add-on from $450, content update add-on $250 (requires the in-CMS option), supported setup $1,675 one-time, managed service from $500. Self-service support is included. A 30-day free trial is offered. 30-day free trial, no credit card required (per the About page)

Best for: Large organisations monitoring many pages continuously

• Operating company. Sitemorse (UK Sales) Ltd
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Siteimprove, Monsido, Silktide

Sitemorse is a London-based assessment and monitoring service that checks websites against WCAG 2.2, and also against code quality, links, email, brand and other categories. Its accessibility tests are framed around the ADA, Section 508 and the EU Web Accessibility Directive 2016/2102. It works by remotely crawling your content, so there is nothing to install on the site itself.

Compared with the widget-style tools in this category, such as AccessiWay or Wawsome, Sitemorse does not change how a page renders for visitors. It is a diagnostic tool: it scores pages, covers PDFs and documents, and produces a prioritised list of what to fix, on which page, and by whom. That suits compliance and quality teams more than a site owner wanting a quick fix.

Against Eye-Able, Silktide or Siteimprove it targets a similar monitoring audience, with an emphasis on unlimited testing per domain and benchmark indexes. Pricing is published in US dollars per domain, which is unusual for a UK vendor, and the wording on the site is somewhat informal and dated. Hosting location and certifications are not stated on the pages we read.

Standout feature. Unlimited testing per domain with fixed, published prices makes cost predictable for large multi-site organisations.

#9 PDFix

Stupava, Slovakia Founded 2016 PDFix Desktop Lite is free (no time limit, no registration). PDFix Desktop Pro is €350 per user per year (AI auto-tagging and full remediation; the pricing page also shows $599 USD/year). PDFix Desktop Enterprise is €1,000 per user per year (adds batch processing and command-line automation). PDFix SDK and PDFix Services (managed remediation) are quote-based, depending on deployment scale and document volume. Permanently free Desktop Lite checker and a free SDK tier (per vendor pricing page)

Best for: Teams remediating PDFs for PDF/UA and EAA

• Operating company. PDFix s.r.o.
• Jurisdiction. EU (Slovakia)
• Where the data sits. On-premises: documents are processed locally on the user's machine or network, no cloud upload (per vendor FAQ)
• Independent checks. Member of the PDF Association (per vendor about page); validation built on veraPDF
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Adobe Acrobat Pro accessibility tools, CommonLook

PDFix covers a different part of accessibility work than most tools in this category. Where Eye-Able, Silktide, AccessiWay or Wawsome scan and assist on live web pages, PDFix works on the documents: it tags, validates and repairs PDFs against PDF/UA (ISO 14289) and WCAG. For organisations whose compliance gap sits in annual reports, invoices, forms and downloads, that is exactly the missing piece.

The product line is a free Desktop Lite validator built on veraPDF, paid Desktop Pro and Enterprise editions with AI-assisted auto-tagging and batch actions, and an SDK with bindings for Python, C#, Java, C++ and Node.js. Everything runs on-premises on Windows, macOS or Linux, and the vendor states that documents are not uploaded to a cloud, which suits banks and public bodies.

The trade-off is scope. PDFix does not scan websites, monitor pages or offer a user-facing widget, so it complements rather than replaces a site scanner. Remediation still needs human review, and the vendor says so itself. Its closest peers are axes4 (PAC, a freeware checker), Recite Me (which includes PDF remediation inside a broader platform) and SensusAccess (conversion service). Pricing is public for the desktop editions, unlike most peers.

Standout feature. A PDF-only specialist that pairs a free veraPDF-based validator with on-premises auto-tagging and a developer SDK.

#10 axes4

Zurich, Switzerland Founded 2015 PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker) and axesCheck (web checker) are free of charge. Desktop add-ins are sold as subscriptions in the axes4 shop, shown in EUR, USD or CHF for 1 user, Team licence: axesWord €329 per year or €629 for 2 years; axesWord & axesSlide €399 per year; axesPDF €549 per year or €1,049 for 2 years; axesWord & axesPDF €839 per year; axesWord & axesSlide & axesPDF €949 per year. Larger user numbers by custom quote. The axesPAC API (automated PDF checks via REST) is offered through a demo request, no public price. PAC and axesCheck are free to use; axesWord shows a 'Try now for free' offer and a download page (trial terms not verified)

Best for: Teams that must publish accessible PDF documents

• Operating company. axes4 GmbH
• Jurisdiction. Switzerland (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Independent checks. ISO 27001 (stated on axes4.com)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Adobe Acrobat Pro accessibility checker, CommonLook, Equidox

axes4 is a Zurich-based software company that has focused on PDF accessibility since 2015. Its best-known product is PAC, the free PDF Accessibility Checker that tests PDFs against PDF/UA and WCAG, with a web version called axesCheck.

PAC is funded in part by the German Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, and the 2026 release adds AI-assisted checks that cut down manual testing. This puts axes4 in a different corner of web accessibility than most tools on this page: documents rather than web pages.

Around the checkers sits a paid toolset. axesWord and axesSlide add accessible PDF export to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, axesPDF finds and fixes issues in existing PDFs, and axesPAC exposes the PAC engine as a REST API that returns JSON for batch checks.

Compared with PDFix, which also automates PDF tagging, axes4 leans on Office add-ins and a validator that is widely used by public bodies. Compared with SensusAccess, it is a tool you run yourself rather than a conversion service.

The limits are clear. axes4 does not scan live websites, does not monitor a domain over time and has no visitor-facing widget, so it cannot stand in for Eye-Able, Silktide, Siteimprove, AccessiWay or Web Accessibility Checker. Its desktop add-ins target Microsoft Office on Windows, PAC runs on Windows only, and pricing for the API is on request. It is best viewed as the document layer next to a website scanner, not a replacement for one.

Standout feature. A specialist PDF accessibility vendor whose free PAC checker is a common reference tool, with Word, PowerPoint and API products around it.

#11 SensusAccess

Hillerød, Denmark Founded 1987 No public prices. Institutions need a service agreement with Sensus; SensusAccess Remediator and SensusComply are quoted on request (demo or price quote via the contact forms). Try the Service form on the site; demo bookable. Terms of any free trial not verified.

Best for: Universities converting documents to accessible formats

• Operating company. Sensus ApS
• Jurisdiction. EU (Denmark)
• Where the data sits. Own data centre in Denmark; source documents deleted after processing, results kept up to seven days
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Kurzweil 3000, Blackboard Ally, Adobe Acrobat accessibility remediation

SensusAccess solves a different problem from most tools in this category. Where Eye-Able, Silktide, Siteimprove, AccessiWay or Wawsome look at your website, SensusAccess works on files: students, staff and alumni upload a document and receive it back as MP3 or DAISY audio, EPUB, digital braille, large print or BeeLine Reader. It is operated by Sensus ApS in Hillerød, Denmark, and sold to institutions under a service agreement.

For compliance work, the Remediator product is the closest peer to PDFix and axes4. It processes single files or batches, generates context-aware alternative text with AI, rebuilds structure in scanned or poorly tagged PDFs and validates against PDF/UA and WCAG. SensusComply is a separate manual remediation service for teams that want a guaranteed result instead of automation. Both are quoted on request.

The scope is narrow and the price is not public. SensusAccess does not scan sites, monitor pages or offer a widget, so it complements a web scanner rather than replacing it. Buyers get hosting in Sensus' own Danish data centre, no user sign-up and deletion of source files after processing, which suits education and public bodies with strict privacy rules.

Standout feature. One of the few services here that turns documents into audio, braille and EPUB as well as accessible PDF.

#12 Tingtun

Lillesand, Norway Founded 1996 No pricing is published. The site offers online checker tools for demonstration, an API for the page checker 'available upon request', and manual evaluation and benchmarking services. Contact contact@tingtun.no for terms. Online checker tools are offered for demonstration, no sign-up terms published

Best for: Public bodies needing WCAG scoring and benchmarking

• Operating company. Tingtun AS
• Jurisdiction. EEA (Norway)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Siteimprove, Silktide, Sitemorse

Tingtun AS is a small Norwegian company in Lillesand, registered in Brreg since 1996, that builds accessibility checkers for web pages and PDF documents. Its Page Checker tests a page against WCAG 2.1 success criteria after JavaScript and CSS are applied, and reports each test as pass, fail or to be verified. That is a different shape from the widget tools in this category, which mostly add a toolbar for visitors.

The Site Checker samples a representative set of pages, computes a score and tracks it over time, which suits monitoring and benchmarking lists of websites. The checkers have been deployed for the Swedish regulator project WTKollen, a European Commission funded initiative (EIII) and a monthly government monitoring programme for Mada in Qatar. The PDF Checker uses WCAG 2.0 PDF Techniques and accepts a URL or an upload.

Compared with Siteimprove, Silktide or Eye-Able, Tingtun is much smaller and looks less like a packaged SaaS: there is no published pricing, the site copyright is 2022, and the API is available on request. It fits teams who want a transparent checker and optional manual evaluation, less so those who need a polished dashboard or remediation workflow.

Standout feature. A long-running Norwegian checker with site scoring over time and a PDF checker, aimed at public sector use.

#13 TAW

Gijon (Asturias), Spain The online web accessibility test is free to use. The site says the TAW project has promoted web accessibility for free for 15 years and asks visitors to donate to keep it running. No paid plans are shown on the site. Free to use, no account shown on the test form

Best for: Quick free WCAG checks of single pages

• Operating company. CTIC Foundation Technology Centre (Fundacion CTIC Centro Tecnologico), tax ID G-33906637
• Jurisdiction. EU (Spain)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. WAVE, Siteimprove, Silktide

TAW is a free online accessibility test run by CTIC Foundation Technology Centre in Gijon, Spain. You enter a URL, choose conformance level A, AA or AAA, and get a report on the page's HTML, CSS and JavaScript against WCAG 2. The vendor has run it for about 15 years and funds it through donations rather than subscriptions.

Compared with the other tools in this category, TAW is the narrowest. Eye-Able, Silktide, Siteimprove and Sitemorse add monitoring across whole sites, dashboards and reporting. AccessiWay and Recite Me add user-facing widgets. PDFix and axes4 cover PDF accessibility. TAW offers none of this on its public site: it checks one page at a time.

That makes it a sensible first check or a free second opinion next to a paid scanner, not a compliance programme. Automated tests only catch part of WCAG, and the site does not publish its coverage. The undated news item mentions an engine update, and the site is live, but we could not confirm a recent release date.

Standout feature. A free, donation-funded WCAG page test from a Spanish foundation, useful as a no-cost second opinion.

#14 friendlyuse

Starnberg near Munich, Germany Visitor-based plans, all features in every plan: Starter €19/month (up to 10,000 visitors/month), Growth €49/month (up to 50,000), Pro €99/month (up to 200,000), Business €249/month (up to 1,000,000). Larger volumes on request. 14-day free trial, no credit card. 14 days free, no credit card

Best for: small sites wanting a cheap widget with a scanner

• Operating company. Peter Csipkay (sole proprietor), trading as friendlyuse
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. UserWay, accessiBe

friendlyuse is an accessibility widget plus a WCAG scanner and a customer dashboard, added to a site with one script tag. The widget offers more than 25 visitor aids in six groups, such as text size, contrast, colour correction, a reading ruler and read aloud, in 10 languages. The free scanner lists issues by severity with a fix hint for each.

Pricing is published and simple: every feature is in every plan and only the monthly visitor count differs, from €19 per month (up to 10,000 visitors) to €249 per month (up to 1,000,000), with a 14-day trial and no credit card. That is more transparent than Eye-Able, Silktide or Siteimprove, which sell through demos.

It is also an early-stage, one-person product. The provider is Peter Csipkay as a sole proprietor in Starnberg, Germany. The imprint is still a draft: it has no street address, no register entry or VAT ID, and carries a note that these must be added before go-live. Hosting region and sub-processors are not final. Treat it as pre-launch.

Standout feature. A transparent, all-features-included widget and scanner from €19 per month, but still a pre-launch solo project.
