6 Solutions for Digital Accessibility in Comparison
Since June 28, 2025, the EAA (BFSG) applies to many companies in Germany and the EU. We compared SiteCockpit with other solutions on the market. Status: 03/30/2026.
Why This Comparison Matters
Since June 28, 2025, companies exceeding certain thresholds are legally required to make their digital offerings accessible. If your company doesn't use an appropriate tool today, you risk warnings, fines, and loss of customers with accessibility needs.
There are now several tools that can help with implementation. The downside: they differ significantly in price, functionality, data protection, and location. Some solutions are hosted outside the EU, lack legally compliant accessibility statements for Germany, or offer monitoring, translations, custom configurations, or alt attributes only at premium prices.
We pay special attention to GDPR compliance, German hosting, proper implementation of accessibility statements according to BFSG, and actual costs for companies with multiple domains. All information is based on publicly available data and was collected on 03/30/2026.
