OnlyEnable wins 8 of 10 categories

The better Silktide alternative

Looking for something better than Silktide? OnlyEnable gives you the same widget capability plus manual WCAG 2.1 AA audits and source-code remediation — at a lower starting price and without annual contract lock-in.

Our Verdict

OnlyEnable delivers better accessibility outcomes at 90% lower cost. Silktide charges $299+/mo for scanning dashboards that don't include a visitor widget or source-code fixes. OnlyEnable provides all three — widget, manual audits, and source-code remediation — starting at $29/mo. Unless you specifically need Silktide's SEO and content quality modules, there's no reason to pay 10x more.

Where Silktide falls short

Honest drawbacks to know before you sign up.

Significantly more expensive than OnlyEnable ($299/mo+ vs $29/mo)
Accessibility module is scanning/monitoring only — no visitor-facing accessibility widget
No source-code remediation included — issues are reported but fixing is your team's job
Manual audits are a separate, premium service engagement
Annual contracts standard — limited monthly billing flexibility
UK-centric support hours may be inconvenient for US-based teams
In fairness — Silktide's strengths:
  • Broad website monitoring platform: accessibility, SEO, performance, content quality in one tool
  • User-friendly scoring dashboards make it easy to track improvement over time
  • Popular with UK public sector and local government organizations

When Silktide might still make sense

Silktide is a reasonable choice for UK local councils, universities, or public sector bodies that have a budget for website governance platforms and need integrated accessibility, SEO, and content quality monitoring in a single dashboard.

For everyone else — which is the vast majority of businesses — OnlyEnable is the better choice.
