AudioEye layers AI automation and JavaScript fixes on top of your broken code. Their own 2025 report found 297 accessibility issues per page across 15,000 sites — because automation alone can't fix what's wrong with your HTML. Compliapoint repairs your actual source code. Permanently.
AudioEye is a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: AEYE) that offers a tiered approach: AI-powered automation that scans and injects JavaScript fixes, plus optional managed expert services at higher price tiers. While more comprehensive than a simple widget, the fundamental limitations of overlay-based automation remain:
AudioEye's own research reports 297 issues per page on average. Automated tools — even advanced ones — can only detect a fraction of WCAG violations. Keyboard traps, logical reading order, cognitive accessibility, and complex ARIA patterns require human evaluation and manual code repair.
AudioEye's automation injects fixes at render time. The underlying source code remains unchanged. This creates a dependency: remove AudioEye, and your site reverts to its original inaccessible state. You're subscribing to compliance rather than owning it.
AudioEye offers "limited, guaranteed financial protection" — but only with their most expensive managed packages. The protection is subject to terms in applicable orders, and requires ongoing subscription. Source-level compliance documentation doesn't come with limitations or ongoing payment requirements.
