Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 5 of the 10 other online fax services we grade
CocoFax is an online fax service for individuals and small teams. It sends and receives faxes in a browser, by email, and from add-ons for Google Docs, Gmail and Microsoft Office, with a free local or toll-free number on paid plans. Higher plans add Windows and Mac apps, Slack alerts, number porting and a team admin panel.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about CocoFax, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for occasional faxing on a yearly plan
CocoFax faxes from a browser, email, and add-ons for Google Docs, Gmail and Microsoft Office, from $4.99 a month billed yearly. That buys 60 pages, the desktop apps and porting wait for Premium at $16.99, the free number lasts 24 hours, and every price is shown cut from a higher figure with no end date.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Lite is $4.99 a month billed yearly ($7.99 monthly) with a number, inside this category's cheapest quarter. It covers 60 pages, though, with 20 cents for each extra, and 200 pages means Basic at $9.99. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A free number for 24 hours with up to 10 pages and no card. A day is shorter than a week, and receiving after that needs a paid plan. |
| Features | C | Email to fax, Google and Microsoft add-ons, a number of your choice, faxes to over 180 countries, a team panel on Business and an API on Enterprise. The gaps: no BAA or HIPAA on record, and the API is custom-priced. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. You get a number with no card and fax by emailing the recipient's number at cocofax.net. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, Windows, Mac, Android and Chrome, with Gmail, Google Docs, Drive, Word, Excel and Slack. The pricing page lists iOS apps the site doesn't link to, and the desktop apps start on Premium. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who CocoFax is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Occasional faxers who want a low yearly price
- People who fax from Gmail or Google Docs
- Small teams sharing one fax account with an admin
Worth knowing
- Every plan's price is shown as reduced from a higher crossed-out figure, with no end date given.
- Windows and Mac apps, Slack, the Google add-on and number porting are listed only from Premium up.
- Receiving faxes needs a paid account, and the API is only on the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
- The pricing page lists iOS apps, but the site links only a web app, Android, Windows, Mac and Chrome.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace CocoFax you would be making fax numbers connected to the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $59.88 a year.
What you could not
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Gmail, Google Docs and Google Drive among them, and has an API.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. CocoFax’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
