UserWay Pricing: What You Pay For

Opening answer

UserWay prices its Accessibility Widget by year and by monthly page views. On its own pricing page, a small site up to 100,000 page views a month costs $490 per year, a medium site up to 1,000,000 page views a month costs $1,490 per year, and a large site over 1,000,000 page views a month is priced as Custom. All paid plans list the same core set of functions, support, monitoring and a seven day free trial. This article explains each tier, what drives the price up, and how a code fix route compares.

What UserWay charges per year

UserWay's own pricing page, read October 31, 2026, lists three widget tiers by monthly page views. The list below uses the vendor page only, not directory figures.

• Small site: up to 100,000 page views per month, $490 per year.
• Medium site: up to 1,000,000 page views per month, $1,490 per year.
• Large site: over 1,000,000 page views per month, Custom, so ask UserWay for a written quote for your traffic.

All paid plans on that page include the same core set:

• A suite of more than 100 accessibility functions.
• Professional customer support.
• Remediations based on WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA, and Section 508.
• Real time accessibility monitoring and reports.
• A seven day free trial.

The tier you pick changes the page view band you sit in, and for a large site it moves you to a written quote.

What drives the price

Page view volume is the main driver on the vendor page. A site under 100,000 page views a month sits in the small band, a site past that mark moves to the medium band, and a site over 1,000,000 page views a month leaves the published yearly figures behind and needs a Custom quote.

Traffic is not always steady, so count page views the way the vendor counts them. Check your analytics for monthly page views, not visits and not unique visitors, because the vendor tiers are set in page views. Look at a busy month as well as an average month, since a seasonal peak can push a site into a higher band.

The second driver is what you need beyond the widget. If you need an audit, document work, or help across many sites, ask UserWay what that costs in writing. Do not assume an add on is part of the yearly widget price. A written quote for your own site count and traffic is the only safe way to compare a Custom tier with a published tier.

What you get, and what to check before you pay

A UserWay paid plan gives visitors controls on the page and gives the site owner monitoring and reports. The vendor page describes remediations based on WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA, and Section 508. That is a useful starting point for a shortlist, not a substitute for reading what changed on your own pages.

Before you pay, use the seven day free trial on your own site, not on a demo site. Turn on the visitor controls and check them with a keyboard, with text enlarged, and with contrast settings changed. Read a monitoring report for a page you know well, and ask UserWay what a fix looks like in your code and what record you will hold after six months.

Also ask how billing works for your band. Ask what happens if page views rise past your band, how a renewal is charged, and how you cancel. Ask whether one plan covers one site or more than one site, and whether a subdomain needs its own plan.

The Axeazy comparison

Axeazy takes a different route, and it fits a reader who wants fixes in site code plus a dated record. Start with Axeazy's free scan, which takes about 60 seconds, needs no signup, and needs no card. It scans with axe-core and covers 14 fix categories at code level, so the work lands in the source rather than only in a menu on the page.

For a site with a GitHub repo, fixes arrive as a real pull request with a visible diff for owner review. For WordPress, a free plugin applies exactly three instant fixes at render time: a skip navigation link, a page language attribute, and an alt text fallback, with no account needed. For Shopify, Axeazy scans the store and gives a guided plain English checklist, with no automatic Shopify fixes and no pull request for Shopify. For other sites, Axeazy gives computed fix values plus a guided checklist, with no automatic changes to the site.

Colour contrast shows the same care with owner control. Axeazy detects a contrast issue and calculates a WCAG correct colour, but it never applies that colour without owner approval. Every scan and fix carries a date, so you hold a dated record of the work, and paid plans give PDF reports and weekly monitoring. The capabilities page lists Starter at $29 a month, Pro at $79 a month, and Agency at $199 a month, while paid prices on the Axeazy pricing page show only at checkout, with annual billing saving 20 to 25 percent.

How to choose, and common mistakes

First, name the job in one sentence. Do you want visitor controls fast, fixes in code, monitoring across many pages, or a record you can show a client? A visitor menu and a code fix workflow do different jobs.

Second, count the right unit for each vendor. UserWay counts monthly page views, while Axeazy plans are set by site and plan. If you compare a page view price with a per site price without converting the units, the comparison will mislead you. Write down your monthly page views and site count first.

Third, try the free step before you pay. Use the UserWay trial on your own pages, and run the Axeazy free scan on the same pages. Compare what each one flags, what each one fixes, and what record each one leaves.

Common mistakes are easy to avoid once you see them. One mistake is buying the small tier on an average month, then passing the page view band in a busy month. Another is judging a widget only by its menu, without asking what changes in code over time. A third is skipping the trial and the free scan, then finding the fit is wrong after payment. A fourth is comparing a published yearly price with a Custom quote as if they were the same kind of figure.

FAQ

What is the cheapest UserWay yearly price on its own page?

The small site tier on UserWay's own pricing page, read October 31, 2026, is $490 per year for up to 100,000 page views per month. That tier sits in the same core set as the medium tier, with the same listed functions, support, monitoring and trial. A large site over 1,000,000 page views per month is priced as Custom, so no published yearly figure applies there.

Does UserWay pricing change if my traffic grows?

Yes, on the vendor page the tier follows monthly page views. A site that moves from under 100,000 page views a month to a higher band moves to the medium tier price of $1,490 per year. A site that passes 1,000,000 page views a month moves out of the published figures and needs a Custom quote. Check a busy month before you choose, so a seasonal peak does not surprise you.

How does Axeazy pricing compare with UserWay pricing?

Axeazy pricing is set by plan, not by page views. The capabilities page lists Starter at $29 a month, Pro at $79 a month, and Agency at $199 a month, while paid prices on its pricing page show only at checkout, with annual billing saving 20 to 25 percent. The free scan takes about 60 seconds with no signup and no card. The fit question is the work itself: visitor controls and monitoring on one side, code level fixes and a dated record on the other.

What should I do if I received a demand letter about my site?

This is general information, not legal advice. If you have received a demand letter or been sued, talk to a qualified attorney. A lawyer can read the letter, check the claims made about your site, and set out your options. In parallel, run a free check on the pages named in the letter, so you know the scale of the work before you decide on a fix route.
