Cost and volume

Page price is only half the math.

Just One Fax costs $5 for each separate send, so repeated monthly activity accumulates quickly. eFax bundles 200 monthly pages with receiving, but you should compare the actual checkout price, renewal period, and overage against your expected use.

Just One Fax prices each destination as a separate $5 transaction. One page and 100 final pages cost the same, but a second recipient or a later fax costs another $5. It does not preserve an unused monthly allowance or provide a fax number between sends.

1 send$5

2 sends$10

5 sends$25

Choose by workflow

Who each service is actually for.

Choose eFax when

A recurring user who wants one fax identity, inbound delivery, apps, searchable storage, and room to move into business plans.

You need to send and receive every month
You want mobile apps, email-to-fax, signatures, or searchable storage
You need a business plan with a signed BAA

Choose Just One Fax when

The requirement is one prepared outbound U.S. fax, not a fax account.

You need one outbound U.S. fax and no return number
You prefer a known $5 transaction instead of checking a promotional subscription checkout
You do not need retained account history or apps

What eFax changes

The added capability has a tradeoff.

Distinguishing strengths

One inbound fax number on the Personal plan
Email, mobile, desktop, signature, and storage workflows
Business and Corporate paths for more users and administration

Limits to inspect

Requires an account and recurring plan
Dynamic pricing and checkout promotions may make the exact recurring price unclear until checkout
A signed BAA is associated with the Business plan, not simply every consumer checkout

Hard boundaries

Account, inbound, geography, and compliance.

These distinctions rule out more options than a small price difference does.

Account: Just One Fax: no login or dashboard. eFax: Required.
Inbound: Just One Fax: no receiving number. eFax: Included through one fax number on Personal.
International: Just One Fax: U.S. destinations only. eFax: Personal lists the U.S. and Canada; Business lists broader availability across 51 countries.
Compliance: Just One Fax: no HIPAA claim or BAA. eFax: eFax markets HIPAA-capable plans, but its pricing page says the signed BAA required by healthcare providers is included with Business. Confirm the exact plan and agreement.

Provider compliance statements are not a substitute for your own legal, security, procurement, and configuration review. Confirm the exact plan and obtain any required agreement before transmitting regulated information.

Reasons not to choose us

Just One Fax is the wrong choice if...

You need inbound faxing
You send repeatedly enough to use a monthly page bundle
You need business administration, storage, or a compliance agreement
