EqualWeb offers website accessibility software, including a widget with visitor adjustments. This comparison focuses on that widget use case.
German-owned friendlyuse provides visitor controls and a separate automated scan. It does not establish feature parity with the full EqualWeb platform, replace manual remediation or guarantee compliance.

friendlyuse
Visitor-controlled accessibility aids from Germany
friendlyuse adds an accessibility panel to a website with one script tag. Visitors get over 25 aids, including text size and spacing, contrast and colour filters, text-to-speech, a reading ruler, focus highlighting and animation controls. The widget supports ten languages and saves preferences in the visitor’s browser without a visitor account.
GermanyEU controlledQuestions
Is friendlyuse a complete replacement for EqualWeb?
It is an option for visitor-controlled accessibility aids. Check your required features, integrations and audit services separately.
Does installing a widget make my site compliant?
friendlyuse makes no such promise. Accessible code and manual testing remain necessary; an automated scan covers only some issues.
Are all data and providers European?
German ownership is documented, but EU-only hosting is not. Review the product’s infrastructure notes and the provider’s unfinished processing disclosures.
