Which one is for you

Pick Fax.Plus if

  • Fits if you fax a few hundred pages a month from email or your phone
  • Works for small teams that want shared fax numbers under one admin

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want to receive faxes free, as the free account sends 10 pages in total and has no number
  • Pricey if you need a signed HIPAA BAA, the API or Zapier: all three are on Enterprise, from $79.99 a month billed yearly
  • Tight if you send long documents on Basic, which caps a fax at 60 pages and charges 10 cents a page over 200
  • Watch out: porting a US or Canadian number and toll-free numbers start on Premium at $13.99 a month billed yearly
  • Watch out: numbers beyond the two on Business are $4.99 a month each, and picking a specific number is $19.99 once

Pick Faxage if

  • Fits if you want a small base fee and mostly receive faxes
  • Works for offices that want unlimited users and an API on one account

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you fax outside the US and Canada, as only those two are covered
  • Pricey if you send a lot: Lite and most plans charge 5 cents a minute past any allowance
  • Watch out: a $5 setup fee on every plan and $3.49 a month for each extra number
  • Tight if you have many lines: Volume plans are capped at three, and Carrier plans need at least three

Value for money
BBasic is $6.99 a month billed yearly ($8.99 monthly) for a number and 200 pages, right at the edge of this category's cheapest quarter. Extra pages are 10 cents, and the BAA and API need Enterprise at $79.99.
BLite is $3.49 a month per line and Professional $7.95 with 300 minutes in and out, both in the category's cheaper quarter. Lite has no minutes included, and each one costs 5 cents.
Free plan and trial
CA free account sends 10 pages in total and then stops. It has no number, so it can't receive a single fax. Enough for one form, not for a month.
FNo free plan and no trial. A $5 setup fee applies on every plan.
Features
BLocal, toll-free or ported numbers in 48 countries, faxing from email, print menus and apps, broadcast to 500 people, scheduling, AI text extraction, a team console and an API. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job.
CWeb, email, API, a Windows print driver, HIPAA options and number porting on every plan. But faxing is limited to the US and Canada.
Ease of use
BFax.Plus rates 4.7 on the US App Store from 13,183 ratings, which puts it at B on our ease ladder.

Platforms and integrations
AWeb, Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with Gmail, Google Drive, Word, Teams, Slack, Dropbox and Zapier, and an API. Slack needs Business, and Zapier and the API need Enterprise.

    How this page was made

    • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
    • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
