With the entry into force of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) in June 2025, digital accessibility becomes a regulatory requirement 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 analyze the main solutions on the market today AccessiWay, accessiBe, UserWay, AccessiBit explaining why Accessibi stands out as the most solid, modern and strategic choice for Italian and European companies.
AccessiWay: an intermediary that relies on external technologies
AccessiWay operates as an Italian reality in the field of digital accessibility, offering a solution based on the widget integration developed by accessiBe, a U.S. company. This model, which relies on external technology, has some issues to consider for European companies seeking a platform aligned with 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 upgrades.
- Adopting technology that is not developed in-house may result in less flexibility and customization for those with specific regulatory requirements or complex contexts.
accessiBe and UserWay: standardized tools for the U.S. market.
Both accessiBe and UserWay offer prepackaged solutions designed primarily for the U.S. market and designed to meet U.S. regulatory (ADA) requirements. However, their application in the European context is limited.
The main critical issues:
- Lack of specific adaptation to EU regulations.
- Reports and documentation inconsistent with European standards.
- Language localization and technical support often inadequate for an Italian or European user base.
These are solutions that may be quick to install but do not offer the depth and accuracy needed for the regulatory and cultural requirements of our market.
AccessiBit: a useful tool for analysis
AccessiBit offers a suite of tools for website accessibility analysis, offering reports and technical guidance. The platform is useful for companies that have in-house expertise and prefer to manage adaptation activities directly. For realities that seek a more comprehensive and technical service, solutions that combine analysis, development and operational support in a single offering may be more suitable.
