CocoFax vs WiseFax (2026): which should you pick?

Pick CocoFax if

• Fits if you fax now and then and are happy to pay for a year up front
• Works for people who fax from Gmail, as email to fax is on every plan

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you fax more than 60 pages a month on Lite, as extra pages are 20 cents each
• Pricey if you want the Windows or Mac app, Slack, the Google add-on or porting, which start on Premium at $16.99 a month billed yearly
• Skip it if you need a signed BAA, as none is on record, or the API, which is on the custom Enterprise plan
• Watch out: every price is shown cut from a crossed-out figure, with no end date given
• Watch out: the pricing page lists iOS apps, but the site links only web, Android, Windows, Mac and Chrome

Pick WiseFax if

• Fits if you send a fax a few times a year and don't want a monthly bill
• Works for anyone who needs a receiving number for a few weeks, on the weekly plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to try it free, as there's no free plan or trial
• Pricey if you send often: tokens are $1 each, one a page for domestic faxes, and the number plan includes only 10 a month
• Not for you if you need a fax number outside the US or Canada
• Watch out: porting your number costs a fee the pricing page doesn't state
• Watch out: the weekly plan is $4.25 on one line of the pricing page and $4.24 on another
