The report card
Best for HIPAA-ready fax for clinics
SRFax is a fax service aimed at healthcare offices in the US and Canada, with email-to-fax, a REST API and a BAA on request. Its published plans start at $10.70 a month for 200 pages sent and received combined, but they are the healthcare plans, and the small-business plans show no prices.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $10.70 a month on yearly billing for 200 pages combined, or $12.60 monthly, in the category's middle. Extra pages cost $0.05 each. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial are on record. |
| Features | B | Email-to-fax, a web portal, a REST API, PGP at no charge, a BAA on request, porting, unlimited storage, a printer driver and optional OCR. The listing shows no gap in the fax job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Setup means choosing a plan, a number and a connection such as email, the portal or the API. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web portal and email, with a REST API and a printer driver. No native desktop or mobile app is 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 SRFax is for
- Fits if you run a US or Canadian clinic that needs HIPAA or PHIPA faxing
- Works for developers adding email-to-fax to their software
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want small-business prices, as the plans page shows none for that family
- Tight if you want a trial or free plan, since neither is on record
- Watch out: sent and received pages are combined in one allowance, then $0.04 to $0.05 a page
- Tight if you need support at weekends or nights: it runs Monday to Friday, 6 am to 5 pm Pacific
Good to know
Good for
- Healthcare offices in the US and Canada that need HIPAA or PHIPA compliant faxing

- Support hours are Monday to Friday, 6 am to 5 pm Pacific time.
- No native desktop or mobile app is listed; the service works through email, the portal and the API.

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 SRFax 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 20 other online fax services grade higher. It costs $128.40 a year.
What you could not
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- An API that other software can build on.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: HIPAA.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. SRFax’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.
