With the entry into force of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) in June 2025, digital accessibility becomes a legal obligation for all European companies. It is no longer just an ethical issue, but a legal requirement. In this context, it is crucial to choose a solution that ensures adequate compliance, effective technical management and a truly inclusive user experience.
In this comparison we analyse the main solutions on the market today AccessiWay, accessiBe, UserWay, AccessiBit and explain why Accessibi stands out as the most solid, modern and strategic choice for Italian and European companies.
AccessiWay: an intermediary relying on external technologies
AccessiWay operates as an Italian company in the digital accessibility sector, offering a solution based on the widget integration developed by accessiBe, a US company. This model, which relies on external technology, has some aspects to consider for European companies seeking a platform aligned to local regulations.
In particular:
- Adaptation to European regulations may be less straightforward than solutions designed in-house with specific reference to the EAA and the Stanca Law.
- Dependence on a non-EU supplier means less direct control over technological developments and updates.
- Adopting technology that is not developed in-house may mean less flexibility and customisation for those with specific regulatory requirements or complex contexts.
accessiBe and UserWay: standardised tools for the US market
Both accessiBe and UserWay offer ready-made solutions, designed primarily for the US market and intended to meet the requirements of the American regulations (ADA). However, their application in the European context is limited.
The main critical issues:
- Lack of specific adaptation to EU regulations.
- Reporting and documentation inconsistent with European standards.
- Language localisation and technical support often inadequate for Italian or European users.
These solutions may be quick to install, but they do not offer the depth and precision required for the regulatory and cultural demands of our market.
AccessiBit: a useful tool for analysis
AccessiBit offers a suite of tools for analysing the accessibility of websites, providing reports and technical guidance. The platform is useful for companies that have in-house expertise and prefer to manage adaptation activities themselves. For companies seeking a more comprehensive and technical service, solutions combining analysis, development and operational support in a single offer may be more suitable.
Accessibi: the European solution combining technology and regulatory compliance
Today, Accessibi represents the most advanced platform for digital accessibility in Europe. It is an in-house developed solution, designed from the outset to ensure full compliance with Italian and European standards.
This is what makes Accessibi truly unique on the market:
