Compare Online Fax Services
See how PerPageFax stacks up against other online fax services. We compare pricing, features, and ease of use so you can make the best choice.
Which type of service fits you?
There is no single “best” fax service — the right pick depends on how often you fax and whether you need to receive.
Faxing a few times a year (send-only)
Pay per page and skip the subscriptions. PerPageFax is $0.50/page with no account, no free-tier games, and nothing to cancel — a 3-page fax is a one-time $1.50.
Faxing weekly, or need to receive
A subscription genuinely wins here. Fax from iPhone ($9.99/wk), SRFax ($9.70/mo billed annually), iFax ($14.99/mo, or $12.49/mo billed annually), eFax (~$15/mo), and Dropbox Fax include a fax number and volume pricing for regular use.

FaxZero’s free tier sends up to 5 faxes per day at 3 pages each. The trade-off: FaxZero branding on your cover page and PDF/DOC/DOCX files only.
