Best for pay-as-you-send fax in Germany
Fax.de sells prepaid fax, letter and SMS sending in Germany, from €2.50 a month plus VAT. The site is in German, per-page costs sit in a separate PDF, and the cheapest plan cannot send letters or SMS.
Who Fax.de is for
- Fits if you send a few faxes a month to German numbers
- Makes sense if you want prepaid sending with no contract
Who Fax.de is not for
- Skip it if you do not read German, since the site and prices are in German
- Watch out: prices are in euros plus VAT, and sending costs per page are in a separate PDF
- Tight if you want to receive faxes on Basic, which has no receiving
- Too light for letters or SMS on Fine, which leaves both out
- Watch out: the free test fax goes to German numbers only
Why Fax.de gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyFine is €2.50 a month plus VAT, paid yearly (€35.70 with VAT), under the $4.19 mark. Per-page sending costs are in a separate price list we cannot see on the plan cards.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial. There is a free test fax, but only to German numbers.
- CFeaturesSends fax, letters and SMS from Windows programs, web, email and apps. Basic has no receiving and Fine has no letters or SMS, so each plan has a gap.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You set up a sending route and a number; it is not install-and-go.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Windows, iOS and Android, so phones and computer are covered. No integrations or API are listed.

Keep Fax.de, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Fax.de 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 17 of the 24 other online fax services grade higher. It costs $33.52 a year.
What you could not
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Fax.de’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.
