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.
Pricing — we cost less, include more
