Siteimprove is a strong detection and analytics platform. But detection is half the job: EqualWeb pairs monitoring with an AI widget that fixes issues in real time, certified human remediation, and a full PDF accessibility suite - so findings become fixes, not backlog.
The short version: both platforms will tell you what is broken. Only one of them also ships the widget, the experts and the PDF tooling that repair it - with liability & warranty on top.

Why teams switch to EqualWeb
The three gaps a widget alone cannot close.
Findings are not fixes
A dashboard of issues still leaves your team to fix every one. EqualWeb's AI widget remediates 80+ common WCAG 2.2 issues in real time, and certified experts handle what automation cannot.
PDFs: detected vs. remediated
Siteimprove can flag inaccessible PDFs. EqualWeb checks them (free, 80+ rules), remediates them with AI, serves them through an accessible viewer, and plugs into 16 platforms - from WordPress to SharePoint and Canvas LMS.
Proof, not just reports
Signed compliance certificates, VPAT/ACR, litigation support and liability & warranty - documentation that stands up to a complaint, not only an analytics export.
