EqualWeb Pricing in 2026: Full Cost Breakdown

EqualWeb Pricing Tiers

Hidden Costs You Won't See on the Pricing Page

• ⚠ Per-site pricing with no multi-site discount — agencies pay full price per client site
• ⚠ Overlay widget creates subscription dependency — cancel and all modifications vanish immediately
• ⚠ Source code is not remediated, so developer time for real fixes is an additional cost on top of the subscription
• ⚠ Courts have ruled overlays insufficient for ADA compliance, leaving ongoing legal exposure despite paying for the tool
• ⚠ Ongoing subscription required to maintain any accessibility improvements — unlike source-code fixes which are permanent

What EqualWeb Actually Costs

EqualWeb’s pricing follows the standard overlay model: a monthly per-site fee in the $50-$200 range depending on which tier you’re on. For a single site with modest requirements, the Basic plan runs around $50/month. Advanced adds an accessibility statement and extended features for around $100/month. Premium tops out near $200/month per site with enhanced reporting and account management.

The structure is identical to accessiBe. That’s not a coincidence — it’s the same product category.

Per-Site Pricing Adds Up Fast

The per-site model works fine for a single site. It becomes a problem the moment you have more than one.

An agency managing 5 client sites on EqualWeb’s Basic plan pays $250/month. On Advanced, that’s $500/month. On 10 sites at Premium, you’re at $2,000/month for overlay coverage that does not fix a single line of your clients’ code.

Compare that to A11yProof’s Agency plan: $199/month for up to 25 sites with unlimited scans, AI-generated code fixes, and white-label compliance reports. The per-site math doesn’t compare.

The Overlay Tax

The monthly subscription is the visible cost. The hidden cost is the source code that never gets fixed.

EqualWeb’s overlay runs in the browser and patches the presentation layer. Your underlying HTML, CSS, and JavaScript remain exactly as they were before installation. If a screen reader navigates your DOM, it’s reading the original code — not the overlay’s modifications. The violations that existed before EqualWeb installed are still there.

For organizations that need actual WCAG compliance, source-level remediation is a separate line item from the overlay subscription. Developer time to identify and fix violations properly can run $2,000-$10,000 or more depending on site complexity. The overlay doesn’t replace that work — it adds to the total cost without delivering the outcome.

Total Cost Comparison for 5 Sites

The EqualWeb subscription keeps running as long as you pay. Cancel it and the overlay stops. A11yProof’s code fixes go into your codebase and stay there permanently regardless of subscription status.
