accessiBe sells an AI-powered overlay widget that claims to make your site accessible automatically. The accessibility community, the FTC, and courts have repeatedly shown this approach doesn't work. Overlays can't fix structural HTML problems, and they've been specifically called out in ADA lawsuits. Litmus takes the opposite approach: we scan your site, identify real WCAG violations in your code, and give you the data to fix them properly. Real compliance comes from real fixes, not JavaScript patches.
We tailor plans to your team and volume. Reach out and we'll get you a quote.
Contact for pricingOverlay widgets add a JavaScript layer on top of your site that attempts to modify the user experience for assistive technologies. They can't fix structural HTML issues like missing alt text in your CMS, broken form labels, or incorrect heading hierarchy. The FTC fined accessiBe $1M for deceptive claims, and major accessibility organizations have signed statements opposing overlay products.
Litmus and accessiBe take fundamentally different approaches. accessiBe adds an overlay that attempts to paper over issues. Litmus identifies the actual code-level violations so you can fix them properly. Courts and regulators consistently favor actual remediation over overlay solutions.
No, and that's by design. Automated fixes via overlays create a false sense of compliance. Litmus identifies violations, shows you exactly which elements are affected, provides WCAG references, and gives fix guidance — so your team can make real, lasting fixes in your code.
