Faxage vs Sfax (2026): which should you pick?

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

Pick Sfax if

• Fits if your medical office needs an audit trail on every fax
• Works for practices that fax from desktop programs through a print driver

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to see a price first, as none could be read from Sfax's pages
• Watch out: the trial is a paid plan you must cancel within 14 days, and monthly plans need 30 days' notice to cancel
• Skip it if you use Android, or Windows older than 11, as neither is supported
• Tight if you need several lines, since plans include one toll-free line and each extra is $5 a month

Faxage

• Faxing is limited to the US and Canada; the home page says faxes can be sent to those two countries.
• Most plans charge by the minute: 5 cents over the included minutes, and 4 cents on Volume plans.
• There is a $5 setup fee on every plan, and extra virtual numbers cost $3.49 a month each.
• Volume plans are capped at three lines, and Carrier plans need at least three lines at $15.00 each.

Sfax

• Prices could not be read: the Sfax pages on scrypt.com turned away automated reading, and the help center lists no prices.
• Plans include one toll-free line; each extra line is $5 a month on monthly plans or $48 a year on annual plans.
• Cancelling a monthly plan needs 30 days' notice by support ticket or email, with no refunds or partial months after the first 14 days.
• The Windows app supports only Windows 11 on x64 or x86, and the help center lists an iPhone app but no Android app.

Faxage

Every channel on every plan

Web faxing, email to fax, fax to email and the API are included on all plans, with unlimited users and email addresses.

Mobile app

iOS and Android apps send PDF, PNG or JPG files, scan photos as faxes, and let you sign and annotate received faxes.

Print to Fax driver

A Windows print driver for Windows 7 through 11 sends a fax from any program that can print, over an encrypted connection.

HIPAA options

Faxage says every plan is HIPAA compliant, offers a BAA on request, and says its in-scope facilities are HITRUST certified.

Number portability

Local and toll-free numbers cover the US and Canada, and the site lists porting in more than 137,000 exchanges.

Sfax

Web app with folders and a library

Send, forward, export and split faxes in the browser, sort received faxes into folders and keep reusable files in a document library.

Windows and Mac print drivers

Install the Sfax printer on Windows 11 or a Mac and fax a document from any program's print menu.

Annotate and sign faxes

Mark up and sign a received fax before sending it back, and pick a default fax cover page or buy custom ones.

Audit trail and HIPAA

Each fax keeps an audit trail of activity, and Sfax says it is HIPAA and GLBA compliant and signs a BAA on request.

Admin, SSO and permissions

Admins add users and fax lines, set permissions and IP safelists, and connect single sign-on through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and others.

API and file integrations

An API with callbacks lets other software send and receive faxes, and Box and ShareFile integrations move faxes into document storage.
