accessiBe vs. Equalweb

Using accessiBe is a no-brainer for any website. It stands head and shoulders above all other tools that would call themselves a competitor. It can be integrated into a website by anyone that has access to the website templates or can manage content in a CMS. The tool will do everything else automatically through the API. It is unobtrusive but super simple to use for the end-user. I can't think of a scenario in which accessiBe would not be appropriate for a website.
