How Much Does It Cost to Send a Fax Online?
Compare pay-per-fax pricing with monthly plans. See what cover pages count toward and how Fax’s $8 Personal plan works.
Online fax services typically charge per fax or offer a subscription with a page allowance. For a single document, compare the one-time price. For recurring paperwork, compare your busiest month with the included pages. Fax starts at $8 per month for 300 outbound pages on Personal.
A one-time fax versus a monthly plan
If you need to fax a form once, a pay-per-fax option can be cheaper than a subscription. Dropbox Fax, for example, lists $0.99 for up to 10 pages after its initial free pages are used, plus $0.20 for each additional page. At those rates a 12-page transmission would cost $1.39 before any applicable taxes.
For repeated sending, count the pages in the final packets, including cover sheets. Four 15-page packets a month would use 60 pages. Pick a plan that covers a busy month and consider whether you need the ability to save drafts and review delivery history.
Fax prices and page allowances
Fax plans charge in US dollars and include outbound sending. Annual billing keeps the same allowance each month. Use the pricing page to compare checkout options for each plan.
- Personal: $8/month or $80/year, with 300 pages per month.
- Professional: $20/month or $200/year, with 500 pages per month.
- Small Business: $50/month or $500/year, with 1,000 pages per month.
- Enterprise: $200/month or $2,000/year, with 10,000 pages per month.
How to estimate the cost of your packet
Review the combined PDF before sending. A one-page cover sheet and a seven-page attachment use eight pages. The page counter is more useful than the number of uploaded files when you estimate usage.
Fax stops sending when a submission would exceed the available allowance and applies zero automatic overage charges. You can save the draft while you wait for the next usage period or choose a plan with a larger allowance.
