AccessGO

What AccessGO does

AccessGO is a Berlin-based SaaS provider of automated digital accessibility compliance software, positioned primarily for the German and broader European market. The platform addresses regulatory obligations under the German Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) and the public-sector BITV 2.0 standard, delivering an integrated solution that combines an end-user accessibility widget (Webseiten-Plugin), AI-powered Auto-Optimierung (including generative alt-text creation, contrast optimization, and keyboard/screenreader fixes), Audit & Monitoring, and an automated Accessibility Statement generator. Technically, the product is deployed via a lightweight JavaScript snippet that operates independently of any CMS, shop system, or backend, enabling minutes-long implementation and compatibility with any website environment.

The company serves three core customer segments: companies and enterprises required to comply with BFSG (10+ employees or €2M+ revenue), public-sector institutions subject to BITV 2.0 (municipalities, public administrations, educational institutions), and digital agencies reselling accessibility services to multiple clients. Pricing is a four-tier self-serve subscription model (STANDARD €39/mo, STANDARD+ €69/mo, PRO €79/mo, PRO+ €139/mo) with an INDIVIDUAL custom tier for larger organizations and multi-year contracts, plus a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. A free 60-second website scan serves as the primary lead-generation funnel, supported by an SEO-optimized German-language knowledge base and an agency partner program for channel distribution.

AccessGO operates as a commercial brand of DGfB Deutsche Gesellschaft für Barrierefreiheit (German Society for Accessibility), is headquartered in Berlin, and is positioned as a DSGVO-compliant "Made in Germany" solution with explicit GDPR-safe AI processing limited to publicly accessible images. The company reports 1,000+ websites deployed and 4,200+ free scan checks, with disclosed customer logos spanning sports, hospitality, healthcare/biotech, publishing, and agencies. The GTM motion is hybrid: product-led growth for SMBs (self-serve trial → JS snippet deploy) paired with sales-assisted motion (30-minute expert consultations) for PRO/INDIVIDUAL tiers and the public sector.
