The short version
AudioEye sells three plans [1]:
- Automated: "Automated tools addressing ~50% accessibility issues," continuous monitoring, a help desk and online learning. AudioEye notes it "does not include expert testing for remaining issues."
- Self-Managed: developer tools, certified expert guidance, custom training, an accessibility scanner, expert audit and reporting, and "AudioEye MCP."
- Managed: automated tools, "Agentic Audits," continuous monitoring, custom-written fixes, expert audit and reporting, and AudioEye Assurance, which AudioEye describes as "limited, guaranteed financial protection against WCAG-related demand letters and/or lawsuits." Per AudioEye, it "requires purchase of a Managed package that includes Assurance."
Accessible finds barriers and records the evidence: axe-core scans of every URL on paid plans, simulated screen-reader journeys through multi-step tasks, and monitoring of real sessions. Your team makes the fixes in code.

When AudioEye may be the better fit
- You want a vendor to do the remediation for you. The Managed plan includes custom-written fixes [1]. Accessible only reports.
- You need human expert audits. AudioEye offers them [1]. Accessible's journeys are simulated and don't replace testing by experienced assistive-technology users.
- You want a financial-protection program from the vendor. AudioEye describes Assurance on Managed [1]. Accessible doesn't offer one.
When Accessible is the better fit
- You want published, per-domain pricing and a free tier you can start without a sales call.
- You want key tasks re-tested as you ship. Journeys re-run sign-in, search and checkout whenever you run them, within your plan's journey credits, and report the step that breaks.
- You want fixes in your own code and no runtime changes to your pages, plus a dated record of what was tested, found and fixed.
