FixMyWeb vs accessiBe
Two different ways to handle web accessibility: a source-level audit versus an automated overlay. See which approach fits your team, and run a free scan in about 60 seconds.
FixMyWeb and accessiBe at a glance
Both products aim to improve web accessibility, but they take opposite approaches. accessiBe installs an AI-powered overlay widget that applies adjustments in the browser at runtime. FixMyWeb scans your site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and returns a report with the exact issues and fixes, so your team can remediate at the source. One layers changes on top of the live site; the other helps you correct the underlying code.
| Feature | FixMyWeb | accessiBe |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Source-level WCAG scan + fix guidance | AI overlay widget applied at runtime |
| What it adds to your site | Nothing — you get a report | A JavaScript widget and interface |
| How you start | Paste a URL, no code | Install a JavaScript snippet |
| Source-level fix snippets | Yes — criterion + code fix | Automated runtime adjustments |
| White-label client reports | Yes (Enterprise) | Not a focus |
| VPAT / ACR generator | Built in | Separate audit or services |
| Free scan, no signup | Yes | Free trial, then subscription |
| Pricing model | Free + 9 / 29 / 79 USD per month | Annual subscription per site |
| EAA / ADA framing | Deadlines and documentation | Accessibility statement + widget |
When accessiBe fits
accessiBe is fast to deploy: you add one JavaScript snippet and it applies a set of automated adjustments, an on-page accessibility menu and an accessibility statement. For a site that wants a quick automated layer with minimal developer effort, that convenience is the main draw.
When FixMyWeb fits
Choose FixMyWeb when you want to fix issues at the source, which is the approach most accessibility specialists recommend. Paste a URL and get a WCAG 2.2 report in about 60 seconds, with the exact criterion, severity and a fix snippet for each issue. FixMyWeb adds white-label reports for clients, a VPAT/ACR generator and an accessibility statement generator, and it does not place any third-party widget on your site. For EU businesses, findings are framed against the EAA, enforceable since 28 June 2025.
A note on overlays: automated overlays apply changes in the browser at runtime. Many accessibility specialists recommend fixing issues in the source code as well, and some organisations prefer not to rely on an overlay alone for conformance. FixMyWeb is built to support that source-level approach.
Frequently asked questions
Is FixMyWeb an alternative to accessiBe?
Yes, with a different approach. accessiBe installs an AI overlay widget on your site, while FixMyWeb scans your site against WCAG and gives your team the exact issues and fix snippets, plus reports and a VPAT, without adding any widget.
Does FixMyWeb add a widget or overlay to my website?
No. FixMyWeb does not inject anything into your site. You paste a URL and receive a WCAG report with fixes you apply at the source.
Does an accessibility overlay make a site EAA or ADA compliant?
An overlay can apply some automated adjustments, but many accessibility experts and advocacy groups caution that overlays alone may not achieve full WCAG conformance. Fixing issues in the source code is the widely recommended path, and FixMyWeb is built to support it.
Does FixMyWeb cover the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?
Yes. FixMyWeb checks against WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA, the standard referenced by the EAA, which has been enforceable across the EU since 28 June 2025. Reports can be exported for compliance records.
Is there a free version of FixMyWeb?
Yes. FixMyWeb offers free scans with no signup, and paid plans start at 9 USD per month for higher volume, monitoring and exports.
