Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (MAYA) — UserWay periodic & annual report 2023: revenue $13.76M vs $7.75M in 2022 (+77.5%). Delisted March 2024 on the Level Access merger.UserWay H1 2023 results (PR Newswire) — first-party: about $12M ARR, +81% YoYLevel Access to acquire UserWay (BusinessWire) — $98.7M cash, Dec 2023UserWay (Wikipedia) — FY2023 $13.8M, 2024 class action, FT criticism, buyoutOverlay Fact Sheet — 800+ accessibility experts: overlays cannot deliver complianceUserWay pricing — $49-$149/mo self-serve plans
Revenue is first-party: UserWay was TASE-listed (ticker UWAY) and reported FY2023 revenue of $13.8M, up 78%; its own H1 2023 release showed about $12M ARR (+81% YoY). The $98.7M Level Access buyout is from a BusinessWire release. Scale claims (1M-plus sites, 60M-plus users) are the company's own and unaudited. The drama is documented, not inferred: the Overlay Fact Sheet (800+ accessibility experts), a 2024 class action alleging exaggerated claims, and FT reporting that overlay-equipped sites remain non-compliant. [our read]: the real moat is distribution and fear, not accessibility. Corrected 13 July 2026, twice over. The card said SMBs pay '$49-149/mo'; userway.org/pricing now runs $49 / $119 / $249 a month ($490 / $1,190 / $2,490 a year). And the $13.8M FY2023 figure — which is right — was cited to a Wikipedia page that does not contain it. UserWay was listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, so the number is genuinely filed, but a reader following our source could not have landed on it. A citation that does not carry the number is a trust bug even when the number is true. We never score you.
