Which one is for you

Pick Documo if

  • Fits if you run a clinic or practice and need a signed BAA on even the smallest plan
  • Works for healthcare software teams building fax into their own product through an API

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you're one person, as Solo is $25 a month billed yearly for 300 pages, with 15 cents for each extra page
  • Skip it if you want to fax from a phone or desktop app, as none is listed
  • Watch out: faxes are kept for 1 year on Solo, Business and Enterprise
  • Not for you if you want the API on Solo, as it starts on Business at $80 a month billed yearly
  • Watch out: the AI add-on is priced per document by sales, and the FAQ gives Enterprise as $250 a month, not the $240 shown

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

Value for money
DSolo is $25 a month billed yearly for one user and 300 pages, with no monthly price shown, which puts it in this category's dearest tenth. The BAA is included, where eFax wants Business at $33.33 for one.
CNo price is on record. Sfax's pages turned our reader away and its help centre lists none, so there's nothing to set against the field. Each extra line is $5 a month, or $48 a year on annual plans.
Free plan and trial
CA 14-day trial with no credit card needed, and extensions through sales. No free plan after it.
DThe 14-day trial means signing up to a paid plan and cancelling within 14 days to avoid the charge. After that there are no refunds or part months.
Features
CBrowser, email, print and analog-machine faxing, numbers and porting, a BAA on every plan, an API from Business and AI reading as an add-on. The gaps: faxes are kept for 1 year, and the AI add-on is priced by sales.
BA web app with folders and a library, print-to-fax on Windows and Mac, annotating and signing, an audit trail on each fax, admin controls with SSO, an API with callbacks, and Box and ShareFile. That covers the job.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record, and no app to install: you fax in a browser, by email, or through a printer or analog machine you connect. It's built to plug faxes into clinic systems.
CNo store rating on record. You install a print driver to fax from other programs, and admins set up users, lines, permissions, IP safelists and SSO.
Platforms and integrations
CWeb only, with no phone or desktop app. A REST API with webhooks starts on Business at $80 a month, no ready-made integrations are listed, and EHR links are on the custom plan.
BWeb, Windows 11, Mac and iPhone, with an API, Box, ShareFile and SSO through Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace and others. There's no Android app, which keeps it off the top grade.

    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.
