Faxly vs eFax
eFax is the oldest name in online faxing and it is built for people who fax regularly and need HIPAA compliance. If that is you, the honest answer is that you should probably use eFax. If you need to send one document and never think about faxing again, a monthly subscription is the wrong shape and this page explains what it costs.

Choose eFax if
- You are a covered entity or a business associate under HIPAA and need a signed BAA. We do not offer one and you should not use us for this.
- You fax constantly and want a long-established provider with phone support and enterprise contracts.
- You need more than 300 pages a month, or a plan with multiple users.
Choose Faxly if
- You need to send one fax. $4.99 once, no account, and nothing renews.
- You want to see your rendered pages and the exact page count before you pay anything.
- You would rather a send be refused at your limit than be billed for going over it.
