The short version
UserWay's Accessibility Widget uses what UserWay calls Automated Remediation Technology to "automatically and continuously fix many common accessibility issues directly within your website or application in real time, with in-platform insight on applied remediations, supported by human-in-the-loop oversight," plus "100+ user personalization tools" for visitors [2]. Widget plans include monitoring of a set number of pages; audits and VPATs are add-ons, and annual plans include a Litigation Support Program [2].
Accessible is a diagnostic. On paid plans it scans every URL on the domain with axe-core, tests whole tasks such as sign-in and checkout with a simulated screen-reader user, and monitors real sessions. Its monitoring script only reads your pages and never changes them, and every fix lands in your code.

When UserWay may be the better fit
- You want a visitor-facing personalization widget and value that more than code-level testing. Accessible doesn't offer one.
- You want live site translation in the same product. UserWay's Pro Plus lists translation into 50+ languages [2].
- You want expert manual audits and VPATs from the same vendor. UserWay offers both as add-ons [2]. Accessible's VPAT/ACR is a draft from your own test evidence, and it doesn't offer human audits.
When Accessible is the better fit
- You want every page checked without buying page tiers. Paid plans scan every URL on the domain with no page cap.
- You need to know whether a task can be finished. Journeys test sign-in, search and checkout the way a screen-reader user would.
- You want fixes in your own code, where they work for every visitor and every assistive technology, and you want a dated record of the work.
