An accessibility overlay adds a toolbar or script on top of a store; it does not change the theme code a screen reader reads. In 2025 the FTC approved a final order requiring overlay vendor accessiBe to pay $1 million and restricting certain unsupported claims about what its tool does. These articles explain the difference and compare the apps merchants weigh up.
AccessComply is not an overlay: its fixes change your theme’s own code, you approve each one, and the original is kept so any change can be undone.
