The best accessiBe alternative that actually works
accessiBe uses an overlay that sits on top of your website. Courts and the DOJ have repeatedly rejected overlays as a compliance solution — and ADA lawsuits have specifically targeted sites using accessiBe. WCAGsafe takes a different approach: real scanning, real fixes.

Why overlays like accessiBe fail
Accessibility overlays add a JavaScript widget to your site that attempts to modify the page for screen reader users on-the-fly. The fundamental problem: they don't fix your actual code.
The National Federation of the Blind, Disability Rights Advocates, and dozens of accessibility experts have publicly stated that overlays do not make websites accessible. The DOJ's 2024 final rule on web accessibility under the ADA requires conformance with WCAG 2.1 AA — not installation of an overlay widget.
WCAGsafe scans your actual HTML with axe-core, the same engine used by Google Chrome DevTools and Microsoft, identifies real violations, and gives your developer the exact fix instructions to remediate them in the source code.
