Where Siteimprove falls short

Every accessibility vendor has a target customer and a target solution. Siteimprove's shape works for some teams and badly for others. The points below come up most often when buyers move off Siteimprove and what they wish they had asked sooner.

  • No AI code-fix generation

  • Expensive

  • Often overkill for SMB and mid-market

Why teams pick Certvo instead

  • Same audit depth, plus AI-generated code patches

  • Free public scan

  • Pricing accessible to indie and SMB

When you should still pick the other tool

Bluntly: if the only thing you need is a visible widget on your site (e.g. as part of a settlement consent decree that names a specific overlay product), an overlay vendor is the path of least resistance. Certvo does not ship a widget. We give you patches; the widget is only a UI for the audit.

If you have an enterprise procurement process that already has a long-running contract with a competitor and the buying motion would take six months to switch, you can use Certvo alongside as the audit-and-fix tool while the widget keeps sitting on the page.
