Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Reviewers keep calling it easy to install and quick to configure, they praise the support team by name, and the only gripes are incomplete language handling on non-English sites.

    I have replaced all other ADA plugins on my active sites with this one. It is super simple to integrate and the customer service is absolutely superb.

    It was simple to install and I saw an immediate increase in traffic to websites, and it works well with html pages.

    Simple to install, free and working. New features being added. Language management is not yet 100% (for non-English websites)

    AccessYes is one of the best free accessibility widgets I’ve found. It’s fully self-hosted, with no external CDN scripts, no telemetry, and no phone-home behavior during normal operation. The only outbound call is an optional uninstall survey you can skip entirely. Feature-wise, it blows the competition away: dyslexia-friendly fonts, reading mask, contrast modes, text sizing, pause animations, highlight links, language support, and more, all completely free with no upsells locked behind a paywall. The only negative thing I could say is there’s no option to remove branding on the frontend, but it’s understandable and that’s a small price to pay for everything you get. Clean code, easy setup, and genuinely privacy-respecting. Highly recommended for any WordPress site.
