A11y Pulse vs Equally AI

Equally AI patches at runtime.
A11y Pulse finds the source.

Equally AI ships a JavaScript widget that patches the DOM in your visitors' browsers. A11y Pulse scans your site from outside and gives your developers a source-level issue list they can fix in code.

What is Equally AI?

Equally AI is an AI-driven accessibility platform built around a JavaScript widget. The widget renders an accessibility menu for visitors (contrast, font size, navigation profiles) and applies runtime DOM remediation. A separate testing surface, Flowy, and a bundled attorney-reviewed accessibility statement sit alongside the widget.

One-line install. End-user menu plus runtime DOM patches. Plugins for WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and Drupal.
Flowy Testing surface
Equally AI's testing and collaboration layer for the accessibility work the widget can't do at runtime.
Pricing model Per page view
$38 / month up to 100K views, $115 / month up to 1M, custom above that. Cost scales with traffic, not with site size.

Why teams switch to A11y Pulse

Three reasons a scanner beats a widget

Equally AI is one of the more thoughtful entries in the overlay category. The architectural choice still matters.

1

Fix in source

Durable code-level fixes

A scanner gives your developers an issue list with the failing element, selector, and remediation guidance. The fix lives in your codebase, survives the next deploy, and works whether or not a third-party script is loaded.

Real HTML, not runtime patches

2

Pricing shape

A busy month shouldn't cost more

Page-view pricing punishes traffic. A campaign that doubles your visitors doubles the widget bill, even though your site isn't twice as inaccessible overnight. We bill by pages tracked, not by people visiting.

Per page, not per view

3

Architecture

No third-party JavaScript on your pages

A scanner visits your pages from the outside, the way Googlebot does. Nothing loads in your visitors' browsers, nothing to debug when it conflicts with another script, nothing to remove if you migrate platforms.

Zero code on your site

Where we fit

The fix lives in your code, not in a script tag

A11y Pulse scans every page on your site daily and reports issues with the failing element, the CSS selector, the WCAG rule, and the remediation guidance your developers need to fix the underlying HTML. Nothing loads on your live site. The widely circulated Overlay Fact Sheet, signed by hundreds of accessibility practitioners, makes the same architectural case at length.

  • Source-level issue list with selectors, elements, and guidance
  • axe-core daily across your full sitemap, in real Chrome
  • WCAG 2.1, 2.2, ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549
  • Equality Act (UK), ACA (Canada), JIS X 8341-3 (Japan), DDA (Australia)
  • Email, Slack, and Microsoft Teams regression alerts
The A11y Pulse page details view showing a critical 'Form elements must have labels' issue, the failing input element with its full HTML markup, and the WCAG remediation guidance a developer can act on directly in source.
