The accessibility controls you need, without the accessiBe price tag
AccessiYes is a free accessibility widget that gives visitors the same category of controls as accessiBe: text, contrast, reading, navigation, motion, and sound. It's packaged as a WordPress plugin, with a JavaScript embed for every other platform.
There's no trial clock to watch and no plan to outgrow, every control here is already unlocked.
accessiBe's plans scale with your monthly visitors, so growing your audience means a bigger bill. AccessiYes doesn't charge by traffic, or at all.
accessiBe asks you to register and start a trial before you can use it. AccessiYes installs from a script or plugin and goes live in minutes, nothing to create first.

accessiBe doesn't have a free version, only a 7-day trial of its paid experience before it starts at $490/year. AccessiYes puts a broader range of 21 visitor control features into its free widget, permanently.

Why others said goodbye to accessiBe
Don't just take our word for it, here's why accessiBe's own customers switched away.
"They posted many fake positive reviews, and when WordPress found out, the reviews were removed."
"There is no such thing as a quick fix (one plugin to fix everything) for accessibility... This plugin cannot provide that."
"There is no free/lite version. Plugin will not work without a paid license."
On a plugin listed in WordPress's free repository, where a $490/year cost is the entry point.
"I was charged $389 for a license renewal for a website that doesn't work/doesn't exist."
"I felt the pricing was not transparent and it was difficult to cancel."

“AccessYes is one of the best free accessibility widgets I’ve found. It’s fully self-hosted, with no external CDN scripts, no telemetry, and no phone-home behavior during normal operation. The only outbound call is an optional uninstall survey you can skip entirely. Feature-wise, it blows the competition away: dyslexia-friendly fonts, reading mask, contrast modes, text sizing, pause animations, highlight links, language support, and more, all completely free with no upsells locked behind a paywall. Clean code, easy setup, and genuinely privacy-respecting. Highly recommended for any WordPress site.”
“Not only is it an excellent plugin, but the support is incredibly efficient. I had a small problem following WordPress updates, which was resolved quickly and easily. There are real people behind this plugin. I highly recommend it.”

Frequently asked questions
accessiBe doesn't offer a free version to compare against: only a 7-day trial before its accessWidget starts at $490/year and scales up to $3,990/year on higher-traffic sites. AccessiYes gives you the same category of controls (text, contrast, reading, navigation, motion, and sound) for free, permanently, with no trial to run out and nothing to cancel.
No accessibility widget can single-handedly guarantee legal or WCAG compliance, and any overlay claiming to do so is misleading. AccessiYes gives your visitors practical UI tools to adjust reading, contrast, and navigation to their personal needs, but underlying site accessibility (like alt text, clean heading structures, and keyboard flow) must still be handled in your design and code.
No. You can download the WordPress plugin or grab the JavaScript embed code and go live instantly: no sign-up, no email required, and no dashboard setup.
Not at all. AccessiYes is built to be lightweight and fast. Furthermore, all visitor settings are stored locally in their browser. We do not track visitors or send user preference data back to our servers.
For non-WordPress platforms, simply paste our single-line JavaScript embed code into your site's <head> tag or header settings. It works seamlessly across Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Framer, Next.js, and custom codebases.
