| Category | Standalone alt text generator | Accessibility overlay widget |
| Price | Free (5 images/day) or $29 one-time/year for Pro | Widget Pro from $69/mo (~$490/yr for up to 100K monthly pageviews); Pro Plus $169/mo, Ultimate $359/mo |
| Strength | Purpose-built for alt text only, free to start, and writes text into your own HTML rather than an injected overlay. | One JavaScript snippet remediates an entire site — alt text, contrast, keyboard navigation, VPAT generation and legal support — as a single bundled product. |
You need a broad, all-in-one accessibility layer across an entire site — contrast, navigation, legal documentation — and alt text is just one item on that list.
Alt text is your actual problem, and you don't want to pay for a full overlay subscription starting around $490/year just to get image descriptions.
UserWay's free tier does not include AI alt text at all — it's a paid-tier feature. Overlay-based alt text also lives in injected JS rather than your page's HTML, which can limit its SEO value.
