How ProntoFax compares
There are two common ways to fax online: a monthly subscription, or a pay-per-fax service. ProntoFax is pay-per-fax done simply. It is $2.99 per delivered fax, with no account, and you pay only when the fax is confirmed delivered. Here is how that lines up.

Compared to subscription services like eFax and MyFax
Subscription fax services such as eFax and MyFax are built around a monthly plan. You create an account, add a payment method, and pay every month whether or not you send a single fax.
That can make sense if you fax constantly. If you fax once or twice, you pay for a whole month and have to remember to cancel. ProntoFax is the opposite. There is no account and no monthly fee, and you pay $2.99 only when a fax is actually delivered.
Compared to free and pay-per-fax services like FaxZero
Free or low-cost services such as FaxZero let you send the occasional fax from a computer upload, often with their own branding on a cover page or limits on pages and daily faxes.
ProntoFax is built for your phone. Photograph the pages with Snap & Fax, send up to 25 pages, and get an emailed receipt with the delivery time. Everything works in English and Spanish, and your card is charged only once the fax is confirmed delivered.
