Verdict
Why teams choose AccessComply.
UserWay's free tier is an overlay widget — it does not change your theme. AccessComply's free tier scans your store and shows you exactly what to fix.
AccessComply's paid plans actually rewrite your Liquid/HTML/CSS so violations are removed at the source, not painted over.
AccessComply ships EAA-oriented reporting and accessibility-statement support on paid plans, instead of hiding basic documentation behind enterprise pricing.
