Switching
How to switch from accessiBe
We make Fixlight, a free WordPress plugin that fixes accessibility problems in your site's own HTML. This page is for people who have already decided to leave accessiBe. The cancellation steps come from accessiBe's own help pages, linked below.
1. Cancel your accessiBe plan
- Go to accessibe.com and select Login.
- In the sidebar, select accessWidget, then the license for your site.
- In Plan and payments, select Manage, then Cancel license.
- Select Continue to cancel.source [1]
- No "Cancel license" option? accessiBe says to email support@accessibe.com or use the chat on its site.source [1] Partners and Enterprise customers can't cancel themselves.source [2]
- When: licenses renew automatically. accessiBe asks for cancellation at least 30 days before the end of a yearly license, or 15 days before the end of a monthly one.source [1]source [3]
- After you cancel: the plan stays active until the end of the billing cycle, with no further charges.source [1] Its terms say fees are paid through the end of the current license period and aren't refunded except in the cases the terms list.source [3]
2. Remove it from your WordPress site
accessiBe notes that uninstalling doesn't cancel your subscription, so cancel first.source [4]
- Added with its WordPress plugin ("Web Accessibility by accessiBe")source [6]: go to Plugins → Installed Plugins, deactivate it, then delete it.
- Added as code: accessiBe says the code is usually in the footer or just before the closing
</body>tag; delete the whole script from every page it's on, then save and publish.source [4] - To check it's gone: accessiBe suggests searching the page's code for
acsb.source [5]
Fixlight can do the plugin part for you: when it finds accessiBe's plugin, its Overview screen offers to deactivate it, after you confirm. It never edits code pasted into your theme.
3. Put Fixlight in its place
Fixlight fixes common problems in the HTML your server sends (skip links, visible keyboard focus, alt text from your media library, names for icon buttons and links, form labels and more), checks your pages, and lists what still needs a person. It's free, with no account and no script for your visitors. The facts · how the two approaches differ.
