SiteRemora vs Accessibly for Shopify (2026)
Accessibly adds a widget that adjusts your pages in the visitor's browser, from $5 a month. SiteRemora changes the theme and the catalog, records every change and re-checks the store as it changes, from $79 a month.
What Accessibly is
Accessibly is an accessibility widget from On The Map Marketing, based in Miami. It has been on the Shopify App Store since September 2019 and is rated 4.7 from 27 reviews; two give one star, and one of those, from May 2025, says the store was sued while running it. Visitors open the widget to change text size, contrast, brightness and fonts or add a reading line. Background features add AI alt text and a skip-to-content link without the visitor opening it.
The toolbar costs $5 a month. Premium, at $25, adds text-to-speech, AI alt tags and analytics. Enterprise, at $75, adds AI-powered automated fixes, ARIA fixes, form accessibility and automated audits. The upper two are $250 and $750 a year. The same widget runs on WordPress, Magento, Wix and any site that accepts custom JavaScript. Accessibly's FAQ says it cannot guarantee full ADA compliance and does not update a site's code, and that accessibility starts with fixing the site itself.
Side by side
| Aspect | Accessibly | SiteRemora |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | A widget: visitors choose adjustments, and background features add alt text and a skip link on the page. Accessibly says it does not update the site's code. | Edits the theme's Liquid, CSS and HTML and writes alt text into the product record, after a scan of the rendered storefront. The page itself is accessible, with or without JavaScript. |
| Where the fix lives | In the widget's script, for as long as it loads. | In your theme and your products. |
| What a scanner sees | Accessibly's FAQ says scanning tools leave its changes out of their reports. | The fixes are in the markup, so scanners, browsers and screen readers all get them. |
| Alt text | AI alt tags from the $25 Premium plan, added by the widget. | Drafted from the photo, approved by you, written to the product. |
| Color contrast | Visitors can change contrast and brightness for themselves. | Each failing pair comes with the nearest passing shade of your color. You choose, and that color is written into the theme for every visitor. |
| Undo | Remove the widget. | A revert per change, from the original code kept with each fix. |
| Price | $5, $25 or $75 a month, with a seven-day trial. | Free plan sees every issue; paid plans from $79 a month. |
| Built for | Any website: Shopify, WordPress, Magento, Wix and custom JavaScript. | Shopify themes and the Shopify admin specifically. |
| Shopify listing | On the App Store since September 2019; rated 4.7 from 27 reviews. | Launched on the App Store in June 2026. |
Where Accessibly is the better choice
- You want a visitor toolbar for text size, contrast, a reading line and fonts, and $5 a month is the budget.
- You run sites on several platforms and want the same widget on all of them.
Where SiteRemora is the better choice
- You want the issues fixed in the theme and the catalog, where screen readers and scanners read them.
- You want a dated record of what was found, what changed and when, with a revert for each change.
- You want to see every issue on your busiest pages before paying anything; the free plan shows them all.
If you are on Accessibly today
Keep the widget while the code gets fixed; the two run side by side. Run a scan, fix what it finds in the theme and catalog, then decide whether the toolbar still earns its place. If you remove it, scan once more to catch anything its background features were covering.
