Nextiva vFAX vs Send FAX Mail
Nextiva advertises vFAX at $7.95/month, but that price requires an annual commitment — pay upfront or the monthly rate is significantly higher. Nextiva's primary business is VoIP phone systems, and they use vFAX to funnel users into their larger platform through aggressive upselling. The standalone fax portal is basic with minimal document management, and there's no e-signature integration or advanced document workflows. Send FAX Mail gives you a better, dedicated fax experience for $12.99/month month-to-month — no annual contract, no upselling pressure to buy a phone system you don't need, and no per-page charges when your volume climbs.

Switching from Nextiva vFAX — FAQ
Nextiva advertises $7.95/month but requires annual billing to access that rate; monthly billing is significantly higher. Send FAX Mail's $12.99/month Starter plan is always month-to-month with no annual commitment, includes 600 pages, and charges nothing per page if you run over — you just move up a tier when you need more.
Nextiva's core business is VoIP and unified communications. Their fax product serves as a lead funnel for phone system upgrades. Send FAX Mail is a fax-focused product with no phone system upsell agenda.
If you cancel before the annual term, you may face early termination fees depending on your contract. With Send FAX Mail, there are no contracts and no cancellation fees — you can stop your subscription anytime with no consequences.
