Summary:
SmartFax’sLocal plan has a low monthly fee, but they have a very limited database of local numbers. They also offer no apps & few features.
SmartFax is a decent online fax service as long as you don’t need to fax more than 250 pages per month or a local number.
Smartfax offers a basic online faxing service with a budget price. At $6.95 per month and no setup fee, it’s one of the cheapest online faxing plans out there. Smartfax also offers a free 30-day trial. However, this service is best for businesses that won’t have a lot of volume and aren’t looking for extras. For that price, you get an assigned local (if available) or toll free fax number, and a maximum of 250 inbound and outbound pages per month. Smartfax offers international faxing, with a caveat: faxes sent outside the U.S. and Canada are billed according to SmartFax’s standard international price list on a per-minute basis in one-minute increments.
Smartfax also offers 30 days of free storage, after which faxes are charged $0.05 per fax, per month. While Smartfax is easy to use and very economical, it doesn’t have great picture quality, and is only available in 25 states. Smartfax also doesn’t offer 24/7 customer support or mobile apps and cannot send more than five documents at once, making it a better choice for those who need only very basic fax services.
