Why switch from AudioEye?
AudioEye is a capable tool but has real gaps that WCAGsafe was built to fill.
Lower cost, more features
WCAGsafe starts at $7/mo vs AudioEye at $49/mo — saving you $504/yr. WCAGsafe includes developer fix instructions, legal risk scoring, and built-in PDF scanning. AudioEye offers PDF remediation only as an enterprise add-on.
No overlay widget
AudioEye requires installing a JavaScript widget on your site. WCAGsafe scans your code and tells your developer exactly what to fix — no widget, no runtime injection, no dependency on a third-party script.
Plain-English reports
AudioEye reports are written for developers. WCAGsafe uses AI to translate every violation into plain English with the business impact explained — so you understand the risk without needing a technical background.
Legal risk scoring
Every WCAGsafe scan includes a legal risk level for your site and each violation individually — critical for prioritising what to fix first and understanding your ADA lawsuit exposure.
PDF document scanning
WCAGsafe scans your actual PDF files for accessibility issues and PDF/UA compliance — something AudioEye does not offer. Essential if your site publishes documents, forms, brochures, or reports.

Frequently asked questions
Is AudioEye worth the price?
AudioEye offers solid WCAG scanning but lacks plain-English explanations, developer fix instructions, PDF document scanning, and one-time audit options. WCAGsafe provides all of these starting at $7/mo — $42/mo less than AudioEye's starting price.
Does AudioEye fix accessibility issues?
AudioEye includes a JavaScript overlay/widget component that modifies your page at runtime. This does not fix the underlying source code. WCAG 2.1 AA conformance requires fixing actual code — not patching its presentation through a widget.
Does AudioEye scan PDF documents?
AudioEye offers PDF document remediation as an enterprise add-on service — not as part of standard plans. WCAGsafe includes automated PDF accessibility scanning on the Pro plan (up to 3 PDFs) and Agency plan (up to 25 PDFs with PDF/UA compliance checking), with no enterprise contract required.
Can I get a one-time audit instead of a subscription?
Yes. WCAGsafe offers a one-time audit for $29 — a full scan of up to 25 pages plus up to 5 PDFs, with a full PDF report. AudioEye does not offer a one-time option.
How do I switch from AudioEye to WCAGsafe?
Run a free WCAGsafe scan first to see your violations. Then remove the AudioEye widget from your site, use WCAGsafe fix instructions to remediate issues in your source code, and set up monthly monitoring to catch regressions.
What does WCAGsafe actually scan?
WCAGsafe uses axe-core — the same engine used in Google Chrome DevTools — to scan your HTML for WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA violations. It also scans PDF documents for accessibility issues. Every violation includes a plain-English explanation, business impact, and step-by-step fix instructions.
