## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: B.** Fine 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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial. There is a free test fax, but only to German numbers.
- **Features: C.** Sends 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You set up a sending route and a number; it is not install-and-go.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, Windows, iOS and Android, so phones and computer are covered. No integrations or API are listed.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could not: Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- You could not: Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
