Transparent market comparison
Accessibility software compared: which approach holds up under the EAA?
When choosing a WCAG compliance partner, it comes down to facts, not marketing promises. We place solutions side by side based on public sources and technical architecture, so you can draw the conclusion yourself, independently and with solid grounding.
The platform grows with the law: alongside accessibility, Seviranta now also tests the AI Act disclosure obligation for chatbots (article 50, from 2 August 2026), as a separate product or with any plan.
What this comparison promises
Facts, not slogans
Every comparison rests on public documentation and recognized standards, so you can build on it.
Architecture instead of words
How tools work technically determines how well they hold up under the EAA.
Open, traceable sources
Every claim is traceable back to the original source.
You decide what counts
No scoreboards that fill in your priorities for you, the comparison shows the data.
38.5%
of sued companies already had a 'solution'
According to AudioEye's own 2026 Litigation Report, 38.5% of the organizations that were sued already had an accessibility widget or toolbar installed. Plaintiffs showed that vital functions, such as the checkout, were still unusable. An overlay masks errors; only fixing the code resolves them.
JavaScript overlay widgets
These providers place a temporary layer over your site. The source code stays defective, and independent experts and regulators are critical of the "100% compliant" promise that often comes with it.
