Why choose OnlyFaxes over eFax
- No subscription lock-in
- eFax requires a monthly subscription starting at $15.79/month with a $10 setup fee just to send your first fax. Users frequently report difficulty canceling their subscriptions. OnlyFaxes lets you send faxes immediately for free: no account, no credit card, no commitment.
- Transparent pricing
- If you need a dedicated fax number, OnlyFaxes offers plans starting at $4.99/month with zero setup cost, less than a third of eFax's base price. You get 200+ pages per month, fax-to-email delivery, and can cancel anytime with no friction.
- Built for everyone
- eFax was built for enterprise customers who fax daily. If you need to send one fax to the IRS or a quick document to a client, paying $15.79/month makes no sense. OnlyFaxes serves both use cases: free for occasional faxes, affordable dedicated numbers for regular use.
