OnlyEnable wins 8 of 11 categories

The better UserWay alternative

Looking for something better than UserWay? 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 is the clear winner versus UserWay. You save $20/mo while getting manual audits and source-code remediation bundled in — features UserWay sells as expensive separate services. The only reason to pick UserWay is if you specifically need their existing WordPress plugin (our plugin is coming soon).

Why teams switch

Why teams switch to OnlyEnable from UserWay

40% cheaper starting point ($29/mo vs $49/mo)
Manual WCAG 2.1 AA audits INCLUDED from $99/mo (UserWay sells them as costly add-ons)
Source-code fixes — not just an overlay band-aid
Free 5-page audit before you commit
Honest marketing without "compliance guarantee" claims
Lightweight 31KB widget (versus UserWay's heavier bundle)
Screen-reader testing available as an add-on
Same WordPress and platform support

Where UserWay falls short

Honest drawbacks to know before you sign up.

Primarily overlay-based — no source-code remediation included
Named in Overlay Fact Sheet opposition alongside other overlay vendors
Manual audits sold as separate premium service
Widget customization limited on lower tiers
Higher price for fewer features
Community criticism similar to other overlay-only tools
In fairness — UserWay's strengths:
  • Strong agency partner program
  • WordPress plugin available

When UserWay might still make sense

UserWay might make sense if you need a dedicated WordPress plugin today and can't wait a few weeks for our WP plugin release.

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