Accessibility is only expensive when it's retro-fitted. Most browsers have excellent built in accessibility features that you get for free. As long as you do simple things like adding text alternatives to non-text items (alt tags to images). That way they can be translated to audio, large print, braille, different language. Even making sure your tabbed sequence makes sense and having focus on logical inputs is massively helpful. Decent descriptions for video/audio are great too.

Take a look at the WCAG. Focussing on accessibility may seem like a small return but to people with disabilities it means the difference between being able to use your app/site or not.
