accessiBe Pricing 2026: What accessWidget Costs and What It Actually Buys

Last updated: October 20, 2026

accessiBe pricing for its accessWidget overlay runs $59 to $479 per month across three published tiers, priced by monthly site traffic, with custom Enterprise pricing above 100,000 visits (accessiBe pricing page, listed as of August 2026). Annual billing cuts each tier by roughly 30%. The subscription price is only half the story — what it buys decides whether it's actually cheap.

Key numbers: accessWidget's three tiers list at $59, $179, and $479 per month — $490, $1,490, and $3,990 billed annually — for sites with up to 5,000, 30,000, and 100,000 monthly visits (accessiBe pricing page, listed as of August 2026). Based on TestParty's analysis of Court Listener public records, 1,000+ businesses with accessibility widgets installed were named in lawsuits in 2024. In April 2025, the FTC approved a final order requiring accessiBe — specifically — to pay $1 million under a 20-year consent order over its marketing claims. Typical accessibility-lawsuit settlements run $5,000–$20,000, per industry settlement tracking as of August 2026 — several years of even the top accessWidget tier. WebAIM's 2026 Million report found detectable WCAG failures on 95.9% of the top one million home pages, averaging 56.1 errors per page.

How much does accessiBe cost in 2026?

accessiBe's accessWidget lists three tiers by monthly site traffic, from $59 to $479 per month, with custom Enterprise pricing above 100,000 monthly visits (accessiBe pricing page, listed as of August 2026).

Annual billing runs roughly 30% cheaper than monthly at every standard tier. Traffic means monthly site visits, not pageviews or orders, which matters for ecommerce where one shopper views a dozen product pages per session. Each subdomain also needs its own separate license, so a multi-brand portfolio multiplies the subscription rather than sharing one tier, per accessiBe's own support documentation as of August 2026.

What does each accessWidget tier actually include?

Every tier runs the same overlay architecture — automated scans and fixes every 24 hours, an accessibility statement, and monthly audit reports; what changes tier to tier is legal-facing support and testing cadence, not the underlying technology.

Per accessiBe's own tier breakdown, Micro adds only help-center, email, and chat support. Growth adds a dedicated case manager for litigation support, a claims portal, and multi-user management. Scale adds one hour of ADA attorney consultation and yearly expert testing. Enterprise adds 5–10 attorney hours, on-demand testing, and single sign-on. accessiBe's own materials describe the widget as using AI to infer alt text and form labels where markup provides none.

What doesn't change at any tier, including Enterprise: accessWidget is a script that runs in the visitor's browser at page load. It adjusts what the browser renders — it does not edit the site's HTML, CSS, or JavaScript source files. Even Scale's "custom fixes to improve accessibility conformance" apply through the widget layer, per accessiBe's own product description, not as a commit to the codebase.

What's NOT in the subscription price?

The subscription buys the widget script, its dashboard, and — at higher tiers — human support hours. It does not buy immunity from a lawsuit, and widget-equipped stores keep getting sued regardless of tier.

Based on TestParty's analysis of Court Listener public records, 1,000+ businesses with accessibility widgets installed of any brand were named in lawsuits in 2024. Ecommerce and retail account for 69–77% of digital accessibility suits, per Seyfarth Shaw's tracking — the exact buyer profile shopping accessWidget tiers. Typical settlements run $5,000–$20,000, per industry settlement tracking as of August 2026: a single $12,000 settlement costs roughly three years of Scale, or 24-plus years of Micro's annual price — before adding the legal fees and staff time spent getting there. TestParty estimates its customers have avoided roughly $1 million in legal fees in aggregate as of August 2026 by remediating source code before a demand letter escalates (TestParty internal data). The FTC's April 2025 order against accessiBe specifically shows regulators scrutinize "AI-powered accessibility" marketing on its merits — not that any given tier is safer.

How does accessiBe pricing compare with source-code remediation?

accessiBe and TestParty price different things: a monthly script subscription tiered by traffic, against remediation scoped to what a store's theme and code actually need — a dollar spent with each buys a different layer of the stack.

In our assessment, the fair comparison isn't sticker price but what a dollar changes. Every accessWidget dollar buys more of the same runtime layer, plus more human support at Growth and Scale. In TestParty's audits of small stores that had installed accessWidget first, the same checkout-flow and template-level issues a plaintiff's expert would later flag were still present in the code, regardless of tier. See our head-to-head on architecture and cost and the widget-vs-remediation matrix.

When is the low price actually worth it?

accessiBe's price is genuinely worth it for a very small, low-traffic site with no engineering budget that needs a live accommodation today — provided it's installed as a documented, dated interim step, not mistaken for a finished compliance program.

A brochure-style storefront under 5,000 monthly visits, where Micro's $59/month beats doing nothing this quarter, is a defensible starting point — as is a merchant who wants the contrast and font-size toolbar as a visitor feature, independent of any compliance claim. What turns the low price into a mistake is treating it as permanent: paying for a higher tier doesn't change the architecture, so "worth it" only holds alongside a written plan to move the underlying WCAG issues into source code. Our fuller assessment walks through that decision, and our accessiBe review covers the product beyond price.

What should you ask accessiBe sales before buying?

Five questions separate a defensible purchase from an expensive mistake, and none of them can be answered from the pricing page alone.

1. Does anything at this tier change the underlying HTML, CSS, or JavaScript — or does every fix run through the widget script at page load, tier included?
2. What documentation would a defense attorney actually receive if we're named in a suit — proof of what changed in the code, or a record of what the widget claims to do?
3. What notice is required to cancel before auto-renewal? accessiBe's own documentation lists 30 days for annual plans and 15 for monthly.
4. What happens if traffic crosses the tier's ceiling mid-contract — automatic upgrade billing, or renegotiation at the next cycle?
5. What happens to the site's accessibility features the day we cancel? Per accessiBe's own policy, "your website may no longer be accessible" once billing ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does accessiBe cost per month? Micro is $59/month, Growth $179/month, and Scale $479/month, keyed to sites with up to 5,000, 30,000, and 100,000 monthly visits (accessiBe pricing page, listed as of August 2026). Enterprise, above 100,000 visits, is custom-quoted. Annual billing runs roughly 30% cheaper than monthly at every standard tier.

Does accessiBe pricing scale with ecommerce orders or revenue? No — tiers key to monthly site visits, not orders or revenue. A high-traffic, low-conversion storefront and a lower-traffic store with equal order volume can land in different tiers, and each subdomain needs its own separate license.

Does a higher accessiBe tier mean better WCAG conformance? No. Every tier runs the same overlay architecture; a higher tier adds legal-facing support and yearly manual testing, not code-level coverage. WCAG 2.2 conformance is assessed against 55 criteria at Levels A and AA, and no tier changes what the underlying markup contains.

What happens to my site's accessibility features if I cancel? Per accessiBe's own documentation, the site "may no longer be accessible" once the billing cycle following cancellation ends, since adjustments run through a script that stops loading. No tier commits a change that persists independent of the subscription.

How does accessiBe's pricing model compare with source-code remediation? They price different units of work: a runtime script subscription that scales with traffic, versus remediation scoped per store based on the site's actual theme and code rather than its visit count. See our guide to remediation costs for market rates across approaches.
