The best MyFax alternative in 2026

If you are looking for a MyFax alternative, Faxend's pay-per-fax pricing ($9.99 per fax) typically beats MyFax's subscription pricing ($10+ per month) for users sending fewer than 30 faxes per month. Both services offer HIPAA-compliant infrastructure and mobile apps, but Faxend's pay-as-you-go model removes monthly commitments.

Why switch from MyFax

MyFax (owned by J2 Global / Consensus) is a long-standing online fax service. Common reasons users seek alternatives:

  • Required subscription: Even occasional users pay monthly
  • Tiered pricing complexity: Multiple plans with confusing limits
  • Free trial conversion: Auto-billing after trial
  • Customer support: Common complaints about cancellation difficulty
  • Business pricing higher: Premium tiers required for HIPAA features

Pricing comparison

ServicePlanMonthly costIncluded pages
FaxendPay per fax$0 (no subscription)$9.99 per 10 pages
MyFax HomeBasic planAbout $10100 sent + 200 received per month
MyFax BusinessBusiness planAbout $30500 sent + 500 received

Cost comparison example: 5 faxes per month:

  • MyFax Home: $10 monthly = $120 per year
  • Faxend: 5 x $9.99 = $49.95 monthly = $599.40 per year on single Basic packs, or $9.99 monthly ($119.88 per year) on Faxend Standard, which covers 50 pages

At one fax a month, a Faxend Basic pack is the cheapest option. From two faxes a month, Faxend Standard ($9.99 for 50 pages) is the better buy. Above 30 to 50 faxes, MyFax can be cheaper.
