Best for audited HIPAA fax for medical offices

Sfax is cloud fax for medical and other regulated offices, with Windows and Mac print drivers, fax signing, audit trails, a BAA on request and an API. No price could be read, the 14-day trial is a paid plan you cancel in time, there's no Android app, and cancelling a monthly plan takes 30 days' notice.

Who Sfax is for

  • Fits if your medical office needs an audit trail on every fax
  • Works for practices that fax from desktop programs through a print driver

Who Sfax is not for

  • Not for you if you want to see a price first, as none could be read from Sfax's pages
  • Watch out: the trial is a paid plan you must cancel within 14 days, and monthly plans need 30 days' notice to cancel
  • Skip it if you use Android, or Windows older than 11, as neither is supported
  • Tight if you need several lines, since plans include one toll-free line and each extra is $5 a month

Why Sfax gets a 2.2

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

  • CValue for moneyNo price is on record. Sfax's pages turned our reader away and its help centre lists none, so there's nothing to set against the field. Each extra line is $5 a month, or $48 a year on annual plans.
  • DFree plan and trialThe 14-day trial means signing up to a paid plan and cancelling within 14 days to avoid the charge. After that there are no refunds or part months.
  • BFeaturesA web app with folders and a library, print-to-fax on Windows and Mac, annotating and signing, an audit trail on each fax, admin controls with SSO, an API with callbacks, and Box and ShareFile. That covers the job.
  • CEase of useNo store rating on record. You install a print driver to fax from other programs, and admins set up users, lines, permissions, IP safelists and SSO.
  • BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Windows 11, Mac and iPhone, with an API, Box, ShareFile and SSO through Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace and others. There's no Android app, which keeps it off the top grade.

What these grades rest on. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Sfax's own help pages on 23 October 2026. Its pages on scrypt.com turned our reader away again on 24 October 2026, so no price could be checked. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. How we review and grade.

Keep Sfax, or make your own?

Keep it

To replace Sfax 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: 6 of the 10 other online fax services grade higher.

What you could not

  • Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
  • Apps for macOS, Windows and iOS that stay in step with each other.
  • It plugs into other products, Box, ShareFile and Okta among them, and has an API.
  • What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on, HIPAA and roles and permissions.
  • The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

What this rests on. Sfax’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.

What is Sfax?

Sfax is a cloud fax service aimed at healthcare and other regulated offices in the US and Canada, sold under the Scrypt name and now supported by Consensus Cloud Solutions. Faxes are sent and received in a web app, from Windows and Mac print drivers and an iPhone app, with folders, a document library, audit trails and fax signing. An API lets other software send and receive faxes.

Worth knowing

  • Prices could not be read: the Sfax pages on scrypt.com turned away automated reading, and the help center lists no prices.
  • Plans include one toll-free line; each extra line is $5 a month on monthly plans or $48 a year on annual plans.
  • Cancelling a monthly plan needs 30 days' notice by support ticket or email, with no refunds or partial months after the first 14 days.
  • The Windows app supports only Windows 11 on x64 or x86, and the help center lists an iPhone app but no Android app.
