Online fax prices compared

Updated November 6, 2026

Faxwell costs the least if you fax now and then with no subscription (10¢ a page) or fax a lot (Unlimited sending and receiving with your own number, $19.99 a month). For a fax number alone, Faxwell’s Keep a number is $9.99 a month (or $5.99 once for one week); WiseFax and Fax.Plus cost a little less. And for a single short fax, a free site like FaxZero costs nothing if you don’t mind its branding.

Where Faxwell isn’t the cheapest

Watch for weekly app subscriptions

Many fax apps start with a “free” fax, then bill weekly: the most downloaded one on the App Store charges $9.99 a week, about $43 a month. If you fax a few times a year, pay per page instead. See how to fax without a subscription.
