Founded in 1997, Level Access has an unparalleled history in helping customers achieve and maintain compliance with the full scope of accessible technology regulations and standards. The company completed its merger with eSSENTIAL Accessibility in August 2022 and acquired UserWay in January 2024 for almost $99 million, consolidating market leadership through platform consolidation and expanding its overlay and remediation capabilities.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Level Access was named a Leader in the first-ever Forrester Wave evaluation dedicated to digital accessibility platforms in Q4 2025.
