Cost and volume

Page price is only half the math.

iFax also advertises one-time faxing from $1.99 per page, which can be inexpensive for a single page but rises quickly for a longer document. Its subscriptions can lower repeated-use cost, while Just One Fax stays $5 for one fax up to 100 pages.

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.
