A11yProof vs AudioEye: SMB Pricing vs Enterprise Platform

The Pricing Gap

The most obvious difference between A11yProof and AudioEye is cost. A11yProof’s Starter plan is $29/month for one site. AudioEye’s entry point is $199+/month. For a single site, that is a 7x price difference.

At scale, the gap widens further. A11yProof’s Agency plan covers 25 sites for $199/month total. AudioEye charges per domain, so the same 25 sites would run $4,975+/month. For agencies and multi-site businesses, this is often the deciding factor.

What You Get for the Price Difference

AudioEye’s higher price pays for human accessibility experts who review your site alongside automated scanning. Their team provides managed remediation, meaning they do some of the fix work for you. They also generate VPATs (Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates), which some enterprise procurement processes require.

A11yProof uses AI to automate what AudioEye’s human auditors do. The AI scans your site against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria and generates specific code fix suggestions. You or your developer applies those fixes to the source code. There is no human audit component, but the automated scanning catches the same mechanically-detectable issues.

The Overlay Question

AudioEye uses a hybrid approach that includes a JavaScript layer for some automated fixes. This puts it somewhere between a pure overlay like accessiBe and a pure scanning tool like A11yProof. The JavaScript component fixes some issues at the rendering layer without changing source code, while human auditors provide recommendations for deeper structural fixes.

We built A11yProof to avoid any overlay dependency. Every fix it generates targets your actual source code. Apply the fix once, and the issue is resolved permanently, regardless of whether A11yProof’s script is running.

Who Should Choose What

Choose A11yProof if: you have developer resources to implement code fixes, you want SMB-friendly pricing, and you need month-to-month flexibility without annual contracts.

Choose AudioEye if: you have no developer resources and need managed remediation, you need VPAT generation for enterprise procurement, and the $199+/month price point fits your budget.

Verdict

A11yProof wins on price and AI-powered remediation. AudioEye offers more managed services but at 5-10x the cost. For SMBs that have a developer who can apply fix suggestions, A11yProof is the practical choice. AudioEye makes more sense for organizations that want someone else to handle everything.
