Why Equally AI customers switch to AccessProof
Equally AI ships an AI-flavored accessibility overlay that auto-remediates your DOM at runtime. AccessProof runs deterministic axe-core audits and gives you timestamped, defensible evidence — without injecting anything into your site.
AccessProof vs Equally AI
| Criterion | AccessProof | Equally AI | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | External audit (axe-core 4.9.1, deterministic rule set) | AI-driven overlay + runtime DOM modifications | AccessProof |
| Reproducibility | Same input → same audit result (deterministic) | AI-mediated DOM changes vary across runs and pages | AccessProof |
| ADA evidence | Timestamped PDF with element selectors + WCAG citations | AI-generated statement, no per-element trail | AccessProof |
| Site performance impact | Zero — never runs on your site | AI overlay payload + runtime mutations on each load | AccessProof |
| Setup | Add URL, get audit — no code on your site | JS snippet + AI agent config | Tie |
| CI/CD integration | REST API + JSON, block deploys on threshold | Overlay-focused; CI integration limited | AccessProof |
| Entry pricing | $0 (Free) → $29/mo Starter | Paid tiers from ~$30/mo, free trial limited | Tie |

An overlay does not remove your ADA risk.
Overlay vendors market a one-line JavaScript snippet that injects a widget into the DOM and claims to "fix" accessibility at runtime. The widget toggles contrast, resizes text, and exposes an ARIA-styled menu. The underlying HTML is left untouched.
US plaintiff firms have repeatedly argued that overlays do not make a site WCAG-conformant and do not insulate operators from ADA Title III claims. Web accessibility advocates published the "Overlay Fact Sheet" (overlayfactsheet.com), now signed by 900+ accessibility professionals, stating that overlays cannot reliably fix the most common WCAG failures. Public lawsuit trackers maintained by UsableNet and Seyfarth Shaw show ADA web suits filed against sites with widgets or overlays installed continue to proceed in US federal courts.
AccessProof takes the opposite stance: we do not modify your site. We audit it, surface the exact selectors and WCAG criteria that fail, and produce a timestamped PDF you can hand to engineering, counsel, or a court.

Audits, not band-aids.
Vendored axe-core 4.9.1
We ship the audit engine ourselves. Same rule set used by Deque, GOV.UK, and the W3C — 90+ rules across WCAG 2.2 A/AA/AAA, Section 508, EN 301 549.
Court-ready timestamped PDFs
Each scan produces a signed PDF with site URL, scan time (UTC), exact element selectors, WCAG criterion citations, and remediation steps. Designed to be admissible.
Scheduled scans, regression alerts
Daily, weekly, or hourly cadence. Email + Slack + webhook alerts when a regression introduces a new critical or serious issue.
Multi-site, multi-tenant
One dashboard for a portfolio. Agencies manage 25+ clients on a single Pro account; enterprises run unlimited sites on Business.
REST API + CI/CD gate
Block deploys with an accessibility threshold in your pipeline. POST a URL, get JSON back with violations, score, and a fail/pass gate.
No JavaScript on your site
AccessProof does not inject anything into your pages. We render them in Chromium and inspect — your DOM stays exactly as your team built it.
Pay for an audit, not a widget.
1 site · monthly · HTML report
5 sites · weekly · PDF reports · email alerts

Questions we hear from Equally AI customers.
Does AI auto-remediation make my site ADA compliant?
No. AI-driven overlays apply visual and ARIA-style patches at runtime — they don't fix the underlying HTML, and they can't produce a verifiable per-element conformance report. The DOJ ADA Title III guidance requires operators to conform to WCAG; the overlayfactsheet.com letter — signed by 900+ accessibility experts — argues overlays of any kind, AI or not, cannot reliably remediate the most common WCAG failures.
Why switch from Equally AI to AccessProof?
Three reasons: (1) determinism — AI-mediated patches vary across visits and pages, making evidence unstable; AccessProof runs the same axe-core rules every time; (2) defensibility — you get per-element selectors and WCAG citations instead of a generated statement; (3) zero runtime impact — no AI agent or JS payload on your visitors' browsers.
Can AI replace a real WCAG audit?
AI can summarize an audit, draft remediation steps, or accelerate categorization — but the audit itself needs to be deterministic and reproducible to be useful as legal evidence and as a CI gate. AccessProof uses axe-core (deterministic, peer-reviewed) for detection and reserves AI assistance for downstream tasks like report summarization where reproducibility matters less.
Does AccessProof inject anything into my site?
No. AccessProof never adds JavaScript, CSS, or DOM nodes to your pages. We render your URLs in headless Chromium on our infrastructure, run axe-core 4.9.1, and produce a PDF. Your DOM stays untouched.
