The Verdict

Between eFax and HelloFax, neither is a clean win. eFax is $18.99/mo for 340 pages with a one-time $10 setup fee, $0.10/page overage, and HIPAA only on enterprise plans. HelloFax is $9.99/mo for 300 pages with no HIPAA, no mobile app, and an uncertain future since being folded into Dropbox Sign. Send FAX Mail is $12.99/month for 600 pages with no per-page overage, HIPAA from $39.99/month, a 7-day free trial (no card), and no contract — so you skip both compromises.

Frequently Asked Questions

It comes down to which trade-off you can live with. eFax gives you $18.99/mo for 340 pages but adds a $10 setup fee and $0.10/page overage; HelloFax gives you $9.99/mo for 300 pages but offers no HIPAA and no mobile app. For most senders, Send FAX Mail's 600 pages for $12.99/month with no per-page overage is the stronger pick than either.
