Based on accessiBe's $49/mo pricing vs HandyPal's $49/mo. No hidden fees or price increases with HandyPal.

Why HandyPal is the better choice

The truth: accessiBe spends millions on aggressive sales teams, TV ads, and inflated marketing budgets. They pass those costs to you through higher prices and surprise increases.

HandyPal is built lean. We don't have expensive sales reps or flashy ad campaigns. We invest in product quality and customer support instead. All 43 accessibility features included.

Bottom line: Lower overhead = lower prices for you. $49/mo instead of $49/mo—with fixed pricing that never increases.

A note about accessibility overlays

We believe in transparency, so here's what you should know.

The overlay industry has problems. The FTC fined AccessiBe $1M in 2025. Disability advocates have signed open letters against overlays. 25% of accessibility lawsuits in 2024 cited overlays as barriers, not solutions.

We're not pretending these problems don't exist. Instead, we're doing things differently: being honest about what widgets can and can't do, getting tested by real disabled users, and building tools that actually fix issues rather than just overlay them.

What HandyPal does: Adds helpful accessibility features (contrast, text size, reading tools) that visitors can choose to use. It's not a replacement for proper accessible design, but it fills gaps and shows you care.

What HandyPal doesn't do: Fix missing alt text, broken keyboard navigation, or missing form labels. Those need code fixes. We don't claim "full compliance" because no overlay can deliver that.
