What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

GPA, above 10 of the 20 other online fax services we grade

MyFax sells page-based plans from $8.25 a month for 100 pages sent and 100 received, with local, toll-free or international numbers and phone apps. It's sold by the same company as eFax, the 14-day trial is on the cheapest plan only, and pages over the allowance cost $0.10 each.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|

| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day free trial on the Home Office User plan only. The listing doesn't say if a card is needed, and there is no free plan. |
| Features | B | Email-to-fax, local, toll-free and international numbers, number porting, and a searchable archive kept for the life of the account. The listing shows no gap in the core fax job. |

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 MyFax 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 $99 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. MyFax’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.
