Cons

• Hidden Fee: Charges five cents per fax per month to store faxes online after 30 days
• Can send and receive faxes from only two email addresses
• Poor quality customer support

Conclusion

RapidFAX is a good online fax service with a couple of drawbacks. RapidFAX has a hidden fee that charges you for storing faxes online for more than 30 days. At $9.95 per month for 300 combined pages, RapidFAX's pricing is right in line with our Market Standard. We found their customer support to be thorough, but unfortunately, they didn't answer all of our test questions correctly. RapidFAX offers a 30-day free trial of their online fax service.

The feedback we have received from RapidFAX users has been very negative. Many users have complained about lost faxes as well as being billed after canceling. Complete RapidFAX review

Plan Reviewed: Faxaway

Pros

• No monthly fee
• Can send a fax to thousands of recipients at once

Cons

• Hidden Fee: Charges $1 monthly maintenance fee to store faxes online
• No free trial period
• No free pages included
• Local fax numbers only available in Seattle, Washington
• Doesn't accept .pdf or .tif file types for sending faxes

Conclusion

Faxaway's fax service is very limiting in that the only area code available for fax numbers is Seattle (area code 206). You must pay a $10 starting balance before being able to use the service, and Faxaway has a hidden fee of $1 per month to store faxes online. With Faxaway, you must send and receive faxes from your email. Faxaway is best suited for people who only fax a few pages per month and want to forego a monthly fee. Faxaway has above average customer support but doesn't offer a free trial to test out its service. Complete Faxaway Review

Plan Reviewed: FaxBetter

Pros

• Save 20% when you prepay annually
• 500 combined pages included
• Low monthly fee for number of pages included
• Unlimited online fax storage

Cons

• Can send and receive faxes from only one email address
• No phone customer support

Conclusion

FaxBetter is very competitively priced but falls short by only offering toll-free fax numbers and only allowing one email address to send and receive faxes. If you go over your allotted number of monthly pages, FaxBetter charges you in 250 page increments. FaxBetter only has email customer support, but it was sufficient when we tested it. FaxBetter doesn't offer a free trial but offers a free account with extreme limitations (you can receive but not send faxes, and you must receive a fax every 7 days or your account expires).

Plan Reviewed: Premium

Pros

• Low monthly fee for number of pages included
• 500 combined pages included
• 30 day free trial period
• Local fax numbers available in 42 states
• Unlimited online fax storage

Cons

• Only one email address can send and receive faxes

At $9.99 per month for 500 free incoming and outgoing pages, HelloFax is a great value. HelloFax has really great email customer support but doesn't offer phone support. HelloFax offers a 30-day free trial.
