Prices and features can change. Confirm the provider’s current terms before purchase. How we review

HIPAA availability is plan-specific — conditional cells above name the qualifying tier (for Fax.Plus, HIPAA requires Enterprise with a signed Business Associate Agreement). eFax's “Business & Corporate” entry reflects the signed BAA on its Business plan (its Customer Agreement also covers eFax Protect and eFax Unite) and the BAA eFax advertises for Corporate — its Personal plan has encryption claims but no BAA. Nextiva vFAX offers HIPAA only through a separate contact-sales plan, as its cell above shows. Nextiva has advertised a 30-day fax trial in some materials; we show none until it is confirmed at checkout. eFax advertises a 7-day trial in some materials while its pricing page shows first-month promotions instead; we show none until it is confirmed at checkout. iFax's entry tier is send-only; the conditional cells above name where the rest starts (apps and HIPAA at Plus, email-to-fax at Pro). iFax prices above are month-to-month; annual billing lowers them ($12.49–$33.33). Its 3-day trial is the web signup offer (for Pro); the 7-day offer on its iOS listing is App Store-specific. SRFax's listed plans are its HIPAA-ready healthcare tiers (BAA on request); it also sells standard small-business plans listed from $9.95/month in its materials. SRFax accounts are available in the U.S. and Canada, and its extra-page costs vary by plan.

Frequently asked questions

What is an online fax service?

An online fax service lets you send and receive faxes through the internet — via a web app, email, or mobile app — without needing a physical fax machine or phone line.

Are online fax services HIPAA compliant?

Some are, but availability is plan-specific. SRFax is healthcare-first — the plans we list are its HIPAA-ready tiers with a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) on request. RingCentral Fax offers HIPAA-compliant faxing, Fax.Plus requires Enterprise for HIPAA compliance and a BAA, eFax includes a signed BAA on its Business plan (and on its eFax Protect and eFax Unite products) but not on Personal, Nextiva offers HIPAA only through a separate dedicated vFAX plan rather than its standard tiers, and iFax advertises HIPAA from its Plus tier upward (not on Basic). Always verify the provider signs a BAA before transmitting protected health information.

Can I keep my existing fax number?

Many services support number porting, which lets you transfer your current fax number. eFax, RingCentral, MyFax, Dropbox Fax, Nextiva vFAX, and SRFax all support porting (SRFax ports for free and offers a portability-check tool), and iFax ports numbers for free on its plans that include a fax number. Fax.Plus offers porting starting on its Premium plan.

What's the cheapest online fax service?

Fax.Plus starts at $8.99/month on month-to-month billing for 200 pages, making it the most affordable paid option; annual billing lowers its effective monthly rate to $6.99. Dropbox Fax offers 300 pages at $9.99/month and also has a free tier (5 sending pages) plus $0.99-per-fax pay-as-you-go for occasional use.

Our methodology

Our comparisons draw on official provider information about plans, features and terms. Reviews labeled research-first rely on documentation and carry a provisional rating.

Ratings are editorial assessments on a five-point scale, not measured delivery results. Read the methodology for the research approach and its limits, and confirm current terms with the provider before signing up.
