Choose the right fax workflow

Choose Fax if you regularly send packets made from several documents and want to review the combined PDF before sending. Choose Fax.Plus if you need to receive faxes on a dedicated number, send from email or manage faxing for a team.

For a purchasing team, check whether the supplier replies by fax. If replies come by email, try preparing an invoice and its supporting pages as one packet. If replies must reach a shared fax line, compare receiving numbers and team access first.

Preparing an outbound fax

If you’re sending an application with a signed form, a scan and a supporting letter, the order matters. In Fax, you can arrange those files, add a cover page and open the combined PDF to check what will be sent. Save the draft if a document is still missing.

Fax.Plus also lets you attach and reorder files in its web app. Its mobile apps and email-to-fax options are worth comparing if you routinely start faxes away from your desk or from an inbox.

Receiving faxes and keeping your number

If clients send documents to your fax number, start with the receiving requirements. Fax.Plus offers dedicated numbers on paid plans and lists number porting by plan and country. Check eligibility before moving a number your clients already use.

Fax is designed for outbound faxing. You can prepare and review a draft in your browser. Sending requires an enabled delivery connection.

Comparing monthly cost and delivery records

Fax starts at $8/month on Personal. Fax.Plus Basic includes 200 pages per month and lists $8.99 with monthly billing or $83.99 when billed annually. Compare the allowance with your busiest month. Fax uses a plan allowance without automatic overage charges. Fax.Plus publishes extra-page rates by plan.

If your workflow requires a downloadable confirmation report, Fax.Plus documents what its report includes. If you mainly need to check the result later, Fax shows the provider’s delivery status in your account history.
