Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 5 of the 24 other online fax services we grade
Fax.de, run by comfax GmbH, lets customers send fax, postal letters and SMS from a Windows program, a web customer center, email or mobile apps. It sells prepaid send packages and low-cost tariffs that include a fax receiving number. The site and prices are in German and euros.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Fax.de, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set up a sending route and a number; it is not install-and-go.
- 1
Best for pay-as-you-send fax in Germany
The site is in German, per-page costs sit in a separate PDF, and the cheapest plan cannot send letters or SMS.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $2.79 a month
As its pricing page puts it: €2.50 per month plus VAT (Fine, prepaid yearly).
- 3
It runs on 4 platforms
Web, Windows, iOS and Android.
- 4
Send from any Windows program
Easy-Office installs a printer driver so fax, postal letters and SMS can be sent singly or in bulk from any Windows application.
- 5
Web customer center
A browser-based center sends fax, letters and SMS, and stores document templates.
- 6
Mobile apps
iPhone and Android apps send and receive faxes, and a separate FreeFax app sends one page a day free to 50 countries.
- 7
A 2.0 GPA, above 5 of 24

- 8
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Germany-based users who send fax occasionally
- Small businesses wanting a receiving number without a monthly plan
- People who prefer printing to a driver over a web form
Worth knowing
- The site is in German, and prices are in euros plus statutory VAT.
- Basic has no fax receiving; Fine has no letter or SMS sending.
- Sending costs per page are in a separate price list PDF, not on the plan cards.
- The free test fax goes to German numbers only.

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 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.
