Question 1

Is eFax or Fax.Plus better?

Accepted Answer

Neither is the best option. eFax starts at $18.99/mo for 340 pages (plus a one-time $10 setup fee) and Fax.Plus at $8.99/mo for 200 pages, both with $0.10/page overage. Send FAX Mail offers 600 pages for $12.99/month with no per-page charges — better value than both once you account for the included pages.

Question 2

Which is cheaper, eFax or Fax.Plus?

Accepted Answer

Fax.Plus is far cheaper up front at $8.99/mo versus eFax's $18.99/mo plus a $10 setup fee. Both bill $0.10 per extra page, though, so heavy use erodes the gap. Send FAX Mail at $12.99/mo includes 600 pages with no per-page charges, which is often the lowest real cost for regular senders.

Question 3

Is there a better alternative to both?

Accepted Answer

Yes. eFax and Fax.Plus both charge $0.10/page in overage, and both lock HIPAA behind their top tiers (enterprise for eFax, the $99.99/mo Enterprise plan for Fax.Plus). eFax also adds a one-time $10 setup fee. Send FAX Mail starts at $12.99/mo for 600 pages with HIPAA at $27.99/mo, no per-page charges, and a 7-day free trial to test it first.

Question 4

Can I switch from eFax or Fax.Plus to Send FAX Mail?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sign up for Send FAX Mail and port your number from eFax or Fax.Plus (1–2 weeks) or get a new number instantly. You can start with a 7-day free trial (send-only, no card to begin), so you won't have to pay just to test the service — and there's no setup fee like eFax charges.
