Better Tools, Better Price
AudioEye offers solid automated scanning and remediation tooling, and their monitoring dashboard is well-designed. For large enterprises that can absorb custom-quoted pricing, it can be a workable solution.
However, developer-centric features like REST API access, CLI tooling, and CI/CD integration are gated behind enterprise tiers with opaque pricing. Teams that need these capabilities often face long sales cycles and annual commitments before they can even test the workflow.
AllyShield puts every feature on the table from day one. Our REST API and CLI ship on the Starter plan at €49/mo, CI/CD pipelines are included at €99/mo, and there is no hidden pricing — ever. You pick a plan, you see the price, you start building.
