An API lets other software send and receive faxes. - **Category:** Online Fax - **Made by:** Consensus Cloud Solutions - **Website:** https://www.scrypt.com/sfax/ - **Runs on:** Web, Windows, macOS, iOS - **Who should skip it:** Not for you if you want to see a price first, as none could be read from Sfax's pages. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing Sfax's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Web app with folders and a library:** Send, forward, export and split faxes in the browser, sort received faxes into folders and keep reusable files in a document library. - **Windows and Mac print drivers:** Install the Sfax printer on Windows 11 or a Mac and fax a document from any program's print menu. - **Annotate and sign faxes:** Mark up and sign a received fax before sending it back, and pick a default fax cover page or buy custom ones. - **Audit trail and HIPAA:** Each fax keeps an audit trail of activity, and Sfax says it is HIPAA and GLBA compliant and signs a BAA on request. - **Admin, SSO and permissions:** Admins add users and fax lines, set permissions and IP safelists, and connect single sign-on through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and others. - **API and file integrations:** An API with callbacks lets other software send and receive faxes, and Box and ShareFile integrations move faxes into document storage. ## Good for - Medical offices that need audited, HIPAA-compliant faxing - Practices that fax from desktop programs through a print driver - Software vendors adding fax to a healthcare application ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 24, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** No 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. - **Free plan and trial: D.** The 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. - **Features: B.** A 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No 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. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, 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. These are ToolGPA's own grades. 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. ## Where it stands among online fax services - Sfax's GPA of 2.2 is higher than 1 of the 10 other online fax services we grade, and level with 3. - It stands best on features (B, above 6 of 10) and worst on free plan and trial (D, above 2). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/online-fax ## Keep it, 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. - You could not: Fax numbers connected to the phone network. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows and iOS that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Box, ShareFile and Okta among them, and has an API. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on, HIPAA and roles and permissions. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
