Best fit for each option
- accessiBe accessWidget Micro. A buyer evaluating an automated widget as one part of an accessibility program, after checking its limits.
- axe DevTools Extension Free. A developer checking common detectable accessibility issues during changes.
- WebAIM evaluation services. A team that needs a specialist accessibility engagement and a scope-specific proposal.
- BCT manual website review. A business that needs a fixed-scope practical fix list across several website topics.
What does the FTC accessiBe action establish?
The FTC approved a final order in April 2025 requiring accessiBe to pay $1 million to resolve allegations about unsupported or deceptive accessibility claims and other conduct.
The action concerns the conduct described in the complaint and order. It does not establish that every widget is unlawful or replace a technical evaluation of your website.
What still needs manual testing?
Keyboard journeys, screen reader behavior, form recovery, dialog states, and the meaning of content need testing within a defined sample. A clean automated result is not the same as a completed manual evaluation.
Where BCT loses
BCT provides a sampled practical review. It does not certify full WCAG conformance or implement remediation. For a specialist conformance engagement, review an accessibility audit provider and agree on its methodology.
