# Best Fax Apps for iPhone and Android: Costs Compared
UpdatedOct 27, 2026 [Mircea Rilă](https://singlefax.com/authors/mircea-rila)
**The best fax app depends on whether you need one send, a continuing receiving number or an approved healthcare workflow.** For one small ordinary fax, check a genuine free quota first. For recurring use, compare the subscription, page allowance and number together. For occasional paid sending, page credits or a browser checkout can avoid keeping a subscription between tasks.
$0.99 covers up to 10 pages, pay only if delivered.

The [iPhone guide](https://singlefax.com/blog/how-to-fax-from-iphone), [Android guide](https://singlefax.com/blog/how-to-fax-from-android) and [phone fax hub](https://singlefax.com/blog/send-fax-from-phone) explain preparation and sending. This comparison focuses on the cost and limitations of choosing a cell phone or mobile fax app, including free fax applications whose sending is not actually free.

## How we compared
- Sources: official US App Store and Google Play listings plus each provider's own pricing and help pages.
- Competitor sources checked: 8 October 2026. SingleFax store availability updated: 27 October 2026.
- Not tested: we didn't time transmissions or run delivery tests, and we don't assign ratings.
- We make SingleFax, so it appears here as our own product, not a neutral pick.
## Quick picks for different tasks
| Your task | Start here | What to check |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A small first ordinary send | Fax.Plus or FaxBurner's remaining free quota | Total pages, account eligibility and destination |
| Paid sending by the page | Genius Fax | Page credits, cover counting and destination support |
| Recurring sending and receiving | Fax.Plus, iFax or eFax | Current subscription, shared allowance, overage and renewal |
| Temporary incoming fax | A free number where timing fits | Number expiry and incoming-page quota |
| One paid fax without installing an app | SingleFax in Safari or Chrome | Complete packet, destination quote and payment terms |
| Organizational PHI | A verified BAA plan | Agreement, authorized signer, controls and covered channel |
These are starting points for a shortlist. A subscription can be worthwhile even when its price exceeds a single send: it may include a continuing number, inbox and team workflow. A free allowance can be the right answer when it meets the entire task. Do not split a required submission into incomplete packets merely to fit a quota.
## Fax app for iPhone: pricing and Android alternatives
The prices below are USD before applicable taxes and extras. **Store purchase labels and website subscriptions are shown separately.** Store catalogs can include older packages and offers that your account cannot buy. The offer presented during checkout controls what you actually purchase.
| Service | iPhone / Android | Genuine free sending | Checked pricing example | Occasional paid option | Verified BAA path |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Fax.Plus | Both | Ten outbound pages total | US App Store Basic Monthly $8.99; Basic Annual $83.99 | Listing describes buying credit; check the offered package | Enterprise plan |
| iFax | Both | Seven-day trial is distinct from a permanent free quota | US App Store lists a $24.99 monthly trial purchase and a $9.99 send-only weekly purchase | Store also lists an outbound-fax $0.99 purchase; eligibility and packet limits are not established by that label | Provider trial page specifies Plus / Pro |
| FaxBurner | Native iPhone / iPad; Android email workflow | Five outbound pages total | Website Professional $14.95 monthly, 500 combined pages | Free starter quota; otherwise compare paid package | FAQ says no current HIPAA support |
| eFax | Both | Free download does not establish free sending | US App Store lists purchases at $16.99 and $18.99; website Personal is $18.99 monthly | Checked store catalog does not establish a universal per-fax tariff | Website Business includes BAA |
| Genius Fax | Both | No free transmissions established | US App Store: one credit $0.99, ten $6.99, fifty $19.99 | One credit per document page; free cover | BAA availability not verified |
| SingleFax | [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/app/id6810689541) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monocube.singlefax); web on both | No free outgoing fax; free receiving is separate | Ordinary web send from $0.99 / ten document pages | One-time checkout without a subscription | HIPAA web send from $6.50; eligible plans with BAA |
For receiving, SingleFax's [free temporary fax number](https://singlefax.com/free-fax-number) takes incoming faxes for 24 hours in the browser, with no app needed; sending stays at $0.99. SingleFax: Scan & Fax is live on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/id6810689541) and [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monocube.singlefax). The iOS version is **1.6.1**, released **27 October 2026**, and requires iOS 16.4 or later on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Downloads are free; fax sends and numbers are paid. The App Store listing is in English and has no ratings yet.
## Fax.Plus: starter quota and recurring mobile use
Fax.Plus offers both mobile platforms and a web account. Its ten-page starter sending allowance can be useful for a first small task. It is ten pages **in total**, rather than ten fresh pages each month, and it does not give you a free receiving number.
The [US App Store listing](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fax-plus-receive-send-fax/id1170782544) includes Basic Monthly at $8.99 and Basic Annual at $83.99. The [website pricing](https://singlefax.com/blog/fax-plus-review) supplies the associated allowance, extra-page rates and packet caps. Those details matter when deciding whether a large fax fits even if you have enough monthly pages remaining.
The listing also describes credit for occasional sending. Check the actual credit package presented to your account; do not assume that the phrase means a universal $0.99 packet price. When comparing a subscription, include both outgoing and incoming usage and any destination weighting.
This is a sensible shortlist for users who want mobile access to an ongoing number and account. For PHI, the verified BAA path is Enterprise. Basic's low price or the app's privacy language does not establish eligibility for that healthcare agreement.
## iFax: examine the exact offer and trial
iFax has iPhone and Android listings. Its public US Apple purchase catalog includes a monthly package with a seven-day trial at $24.99, a send-only weekly package at $9.99 and an outbound-fax purchase at $0.99. These are **purchase labels**, not a complete rate card for every user or document.
Its website presents a separate annual pricing structure. Do not take an annual equivalent from the website and label it the price of a monthly App Store subscription. Likewise, a one-off purchase label does not establish how many pages or destinations your specific checkout covers.
Before choosing a trial, check when renewal begins, the amount, its billing channel and how to stop it. Sending the document or removing the app does not itself cancel the subscription. The [iFax review](https://singlefax.com/blog/ifax-review) explains the annual plans, trial terms and different cancellation paths.
For healthcare, the provider's trial page identifies BAA support for Plus and Pro. Confirm the agreement and eligible plan directly instead of treating every app installation or lower plan as covered. A useful mobile workflow is only one part of that decision.
> **Need to send an ordinary document?** [Review a one-time fax quote](https://singlefax.com/send-or-receive-fax?type=send). $0.99 covers up to 10 pages, pay only if delivered.
## FaxBurner: a small free allowance and temporary number
FaxBurner is worth considering when the free starter quota and short receiving window fit. Its official packages list five outbound pages total, 25 incoming pages per month and a disposable number that lasts 24 hours. The five sending pages do not renew every month.
Its dedicated FAQ describes a native iPhone and iPad app and directs Android users to email sending. This comparison therefore does not label its email workflow a native Android app. For a continuing number, the website lists Professional at $14.95 monthly for 500 combined sent and received pages.
That can be useful when you expect replies and will keep using the number. A number lasting one day is a poor choice for an office expected to reply next week. The FaxBurner review also covers immediate account cancellation and conflicting international-support statements on its site.
The checked FAQ says FaxBurner is not currently HIPAA compliant. Its ordinary plans should not be used as a substitute for your organization's approved PHI service. This is a verified limitation, rather than an inference from the app's general security wording.
## eFax: mobile access to an ongoing account
eFax publishes iOS and Android apps linked to an eFax account. Free installation does not establish free sending. The US App Store catalog lists purchases at $16.99 and $18.99, without enough package detail to treat both as a universal current website plan.
The separately checked website price is Personal at $18.99 month to month and Business at $39.99. Annual billing, allowance and overage have their own terms; the [eFax pricing comparison](https://singlefax.com/blog/singlefax-vs-efax) explains those and distinguishes BAA eligibility.
This can suit someone who already uses an eFax number and wants access from a phone. Compare the cost of keeping that account with its number, stored workflow and recurring usage. For one outgoing task, those continuing benefits may be less relevant.
The website places a BAA on Business. Confirm which account and product the mobile app accesses before putting PHI into it. A healthcare capability in the provider's range does not mean every consumer plan or app-store purchase carries that agreement.
## Genius Fax: credits for document pages
Genius Fax explicitly distinguishes a free download from paid faxing. Its verified iPhone and Android listings describe a page-credit model. Each document page uses one credit; the cover is free. The US Apple catalog lists one credit at $0.99, ten at $6.99 and fifty at $19.99.
For example, a ten-document-page ordinary packet consumes ten credits. Buying the listed ten-credit package costs $6.99 before applicable extras. Buying a larger package reduces the unit cost but commits more money upfront, so compare what you will actually use.
Receiving has a separate cost structure. The Apple listing shows a US number subscription for one month at $3.99, three months at $10.99 or six months at $20.99; receiving also consumes page credits. Renting a number does not establish an unlimited free inbox.
These are checked **US iOS** catalog prices. The Android listing verifies the platform and credit model, but we have not treated Apple's exact purchases as Android offers. BAA availability was not verified, so Genius Fax is not included here as an approved organizational PHI choice.
## SingleFax: iOS, Android and browser faxing
SingleFax: Scan & Fax is available for [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/app/id6810689541) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monocube.singlefax). Both apps support camera scanning, file uploads, fax sending and an inbox for received faxes. You can scan a paper document into a PDF, upload it and review the recipient and full packet before checkout.
Ordinary one-time sending starts at **$0.99 for up to ten document pages**. Failed delivery costs $0. Longer packets add $0.08 per document page up to the 1000-page cap.
The optional composer cover is separate from uploaded document pages; a cover already inside your uploaded PDF is part of that document. An ordinary outgoing fax is not free, and free receiving does not change that. Compare a genuine free competitor allowance first if it meets your task.
For organizational PHI, use the [HIPAA web workflow](https://singlefax.com/hipaa-fax), with its electronic BAA and higher price, rather than ordinary email or WhatsApp. HIPAA one-time sending starts at $6.50 for up to ten pages; an authorized organizational representative must accept the agreement. A patient cannot accept a clinic's BAA on its behalf.
## Watch out for weekly trial subscriptions
A weekly price can look small next to a monthly plan, but billing repeats more often. Four $9.99 weekly renewals total $39.96. That arithmetic is not a prediction of your invoice or an assertion about a particular trial; it shows why the renewal interval belongs beside the advertised amount.
Before confirming any trial or purchase, record:
1. The amount charged now and the amount after the trial.
2. The renewal date and billing interval.
3. The included pages, receiving number and packet limit.
4. The cancellation channel and deadline.
5. Whether used credits, paid periods or number rental are refundable.
If Apple bills you, use [Apple subscription settings](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118428). If Google Play bills you, use [Google Play subscriptions](https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7018481). A website purchase may require the provider's account controls. Save confirmation and check the displayed expiry; uninstalling is not cancellation.
Also check whether stopping a plan affects incoming faxes immediately or at the end of a paid period. Download records you are authorized to keep and arrange another return number before abandoning one that an agency or customer still uses.
## A no-app option for one fax
An iPhone or Android browser can send through an online fax service without converting your cellular number into a fax line. Start with a readable PDF or supported image, verify the recipient's fax number, upload the complete packet and inspect the quote before payment.
For paper, use a scan feature that crops the page and keeps all required details visible. Retake blurred pages and inspect signatures, dates, barcode edges and small text. Avoid sending screenshots of private viewer links: the service needs the actual file, not a link that requires someone else's login.
If you need a return fax, choose a receiving number whose duration fits the expected reply. A free 24-hour number can work for someone sending now; a continuing office correspondence or slow agency response needs a longer-lived arrangement.
Use the [phone fax guide](https://singlefax.com/blog/send-fax-from-phone) for the preparation steps, then [review an ordinary one-time quote](https://singlefax.com/send-or-receive-fax?type=send) when a paid send fits. For approved healthcare use, start with BAA and price comparisons before uploading PHI.

## Frequently asked questions
What is the best fax app for one iPhone fax?
Start with the complete packet and its sensitivity. A genuine free sending quota can be cheapest if it fits. Genius Fax offers page credits. SingleFax works in Safari without an app subscription, from $0.99 for up to ten ordinary document pages. Its iOS app is live on the App Store, alongside Android on Google Play. Both downloads are free; fax sends and numbers are paid.
Does a free fax app send faxes for free?
Not necessarily. Free download describes installation. Sending may require credits, a subscription or a trial that renews. Fax.Plus has ten starter sending pages in total, and FaxBurner has five. Read the quota and checkout terms.
How do I send a fax from iPhone?
\[object Object]
Are these apps available on Android?
Fax.Plus, iFax, eFax, Genius Fax and SingleFax have Android apps. FaxBurner's checked FAQ lists an iPhone and iPad native app and directs Android users to email sending. Native app availability and browser support are different.
Can I receive a fax through an app?
Yes, with a service that provides a receiving number. Free temporary numbers expire; continuing numbers generally require a plan or rental. Genius Fax charges for number rental and incoming-page credits separately.
Is deleting a fax app enough to cancel a subscription?
No. Cancel through the billing channel that owns the subscription, such as Apple, Google Play or the provider website. Check the renewal date and save confirmation. Uninstalling the app does not cancel billing.
Is every healthcare fax app HIPAA compliant?
No. Verify the BAA, eligible plan and covered workflow. Fax.Plus places BAA support on Enterprise. iFax publishes BAA eligibility for Plus and Pro. FaxBurner's FAQ says it is not currently HIPAA compliant. Ordinary free plans are not substitutes for an organization's approved PHI workflow.
Can I fax without installing an app?
Yes. A mobile browser can upload a PDF or other supported file and send through an online fax service. Your phone's cellular number does not become a fax number. Use a dedicated receiving service if you need a reply.
Why can the website and App Store show different prices?
They can represent different billing channels, packages, regions, promotions or legacy purchases. A public list of in-app purchases is not a promise that every purchase is available to every account. Use the final offer shown to you before confirming.

A genuine free sending quota can be cheapest if it fits. Genius Fax offers page credits. SingleFax works in Safari without an app subscription, from $0.99 for up to ten ordinary document pages. Its iOS app is live on the App Store, alongside Android on Google Play. Both downloads are free; fax sends and numbers are paid."}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/blog/best-fax-apps#/schema/question/2","@type":"Question","inLanguage":"en","name":"Does a free fax app send faxes for free?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Not necessarily. Free download describes installation. Sending may require credits, a subscription or a trial that renews. Fax.Plus has ten starter sending pages in total, and FaxBurner has five. Read the quota and checkout terms."}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/blog/best-fax-apps#/schema/question/3","@type":"Question","inLanguage":"en","name":"How do I send a fax from iPhone?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"[object Object]"}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/blog/best-fax-apps#/schema/question/4","@type":"Question","inLanguage":"en","name":"Are these apps available on Android?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Fax.Plus, iFax, eFax, Genius Fax and SingleFax have Android apps. FaxBurner's checked FAQ lists an iPhone and iPad native app and directs Android users to email sending. Native app availability and browser support are different."}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/blog/best-fax-apps#/schema/question/5","@type":"Question","inLanguage":"en","name":"Can I receive a fax through an app?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, with a service that provides a receiving number. Free temporary numbers expire; continuing numbers generally require a plan or rental. Genius Fax charges for number rental and incoming-page credits separately."}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/blog/best-fax-apps#/schema/question/6","@type":"Question","inLanguage":"en","name":"Is deleting a fax app enough to cancel a subscription?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Cancel through the billing channel that owns the subscription, such as Apple, Google Play or the provider website. Check the renewal date and save confirmation. Uninstalling the app does not cancel billing."}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/blog/best-fax-apps#/schema/question/7","@type":"Question","inLanguage":"en","name":"Is every healthcare fax app HIPAA compliant?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Verify the BAA, eligible plan and covered workflow. Fax.Plus places BAA support on Enterprise. iFax publishes BAA eligibility for Plus and Pro. FaxBurner's FAQ says it is not currently HIPAA compliant. Ordinary free plans are not substitutes for an organization's approved PHI workflow."}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/blog/best-fax-apps#/schema/question/8","@type":"Question","inLanguage":"en","name":"Can I fax without installing an app?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. A mobile browser can upload a PDF or other supported file and send through an online fax service. Your phone's cellular number does not become a fax number. Use a dedicated receiving service if you need a reply."}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/blog/best-fax-apps#/schema/question/9","@type":"Question","inLanguage":"en","name":"Why can the website and App Store show different prices?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"They can represent different billing channels, packages, regions, promotions or legacy purchases. A public list of in-app purchases is not a promise that every purchase is available to every account. Use the final offer shown to you before confirming."}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/authors/mircea-rila#person","@type":"Person","jobTitle":"Founder & CEO, SingleFax","name":"Mircea Rilă","url":"https://singlefax.com/authors/mircea-rila","image":{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/#/schema/image/2"},"sameAs":["https://www.linkedin.com/in/mircearila/","https://x.com/zawasp"],"worksFor":{"@type":"Organization","name":"SingleFax","legalName":"Monocube LLC","url":"https://singlefax.com"}},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/#/schema/organization/1","@type":"Organization","logo":"https://singlefax.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","name":"SingleFax","url":"https://singlefax.com/"},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/#/schema/image/1","@type":"ImageObject","contentUrl":"https://singlefax.com/images/versioned/5ec20c0218c3ce45/best-fax-apps.jpg","inLanguage":"en","url":"https://singlefax.com/images/versioned/5ec20c0218c3ce45/best-fax-apps.jpg"},{"@id":"https://singlefax.com/#/schema/image/2","@type":"ImageObject","contentUrl":"https://singlefax.com/images/authors/mircea-rila.jpg","inLanguage":"en","url":"https://singlefax.com/images/authors/mircea-rila.jpg"}]}
