Venali Conclusion
Although Venali's starter plan, FaxComplete Local, has a market average monthly fee of $9.95, the service has a few drawbacks. The plan only gives you 200 pages, which is significantly below market average. On top of that, the pages are not combined, which means that you can't choose how to use your pages (i.e. as incoming or as outgoing pages). You have to pay extra for a toll free number and valuable online storage, since these features aren't included in the plan. Also, Venali's restricted availability of local area codes (only 32 states are represented) is rather limiting. One positive aspect of using Venali is that they offer a variety of plans. For example, if your business only needs to send faxes, then you can choose a "send-only" plan and get 150 outgoing pages for the market standard price of $9.95. Venali also offers corporate plans, international toll free numbers and "worldwide" fax numbers.
While Venali offers a few features that might interest some buyers, especially those in need of international capabilities, we recommend choosing a service provider who offers more functionality and flexibility in their basic monthly plan for market standard price.
