eFax Pricing Breakdown 2026

eFax Plans and Monthly Pricing

eFax offers three tiers: Personal, Business, and Corporate. The Personal plan is the most commonly advertised, but it is not the most commonly used once you look at what it actually covers.

A note on the prices below. eFax lists page allowances and per-page overage rates as plain text on its pricing page, so those are verifiable. It renders the monthly dollar amount with JavaScript, so it does not appear in the raw page source. For the live monthly price, check eFax's pricing page directly.

The Personal plan covers 200 pages per month, not faxes. A 5-page fax counts as 5 pages. If you send 40 faxes at 5 pages each, that is 200 pages and you are at the edge of overage territory on the Personal plan.

The Business plan lifts the allowance to 500 pages per month across 51 countries, with a lower $0.07 per-page overage rate. eFax lists the monthly dollar price for each plan on its own pricing page, so confirm the current figure there before you buy.

eFax Hidden Costs and Fees

The monthly fee is not the full story. eFax adds several charges that new users typically do not see until after signup.

• Possible setup or activation fee

  eFax has historically charged a one-time account setup fee. It is not listed as static text on eFax's current pricing page, so check the checkout screen for any activation charge before you enter a card.

• Per-page overage charges

  Every page over your monthly limit is billed at $0.10 on the Personal plan or $0.07 on the Business plan. A 10-page fax that puts you over a Personal-plan limit adds about $1.00 to that month's bill. The charge simply shows up at billing.

• International surcharges

  Faxes sent to international numbers carry per-page surcharges on top of the standard rate. The exact amount varies by country and is not prominently disclosed during signup.

• Annual commitment required for lower prices

  eFax's advertised prices sometimes reflect annual billing. Month-to-month rates can run higher. Read the fine print on the checkout page before entering your card.

Real Cost by Fax Volume: eFax vs. FaxDrop

eFax prices per page on a monthly subscription. FaxDrop prices per fax (up to 10 pages each), with no subscription required. The table below shows FaxDrop's cost at different sending volumes, assuming 5 pages per fax on average. eFax charges a flat monthly fee regardless of volume until you exceed your page allowance, so check eFax's pricing page for the current monthly figure and add it as your fixed baseline.

The key difference is the pricing model. eFax bills you the same monthly fee whether you send one fax or dozens, then adds per-page overage once you pass your allowance. FaxDrop charges only for what you actually use. Credits never expire, so you can buy a 10-pack in March and still use those credits in December. For regular senders, FaxDrop also offers subscriptions: Basic at $9.99/month includes 50 fax credits and Pro at $24.99/month includes 200, so higher-volume users are not forced onto per-pack pricing.

Who eFax Is Actually Worth It For

eFax makes sense for a specific type of organization. If your office sends hundreds of pages per month, needs a dedicated inbound fax number, requires enterprise admin controls with multi-user access, or has IT compliance requirements that mandate a named vendor, eFax's Business or Corporate plan is worth the conversation.

For everyone else, the math often does not work. Most individuals and small businesses searching for eFax pricing send fewer than 20 faxes per month. A monthly subscription spread across that few faxes usually works out to more than $1 per fax before any overages. If you send at low volume, a per-fax option is hard to beat.

Watch the trial terms too. If eFax requires a credit card for a free trial, forgetting to cancel converts into a full monthly charge. Read the current trial and cancellation terms on eFax's site before you sign up.

How to Cancel eFax

eFax cancellation is not self-serve. You need to contact their customer support by phone or live chat to cancel. This is a friction tactic. Have your account number ready and expect to go through a retention flow before they process the request.

Cancel before your next billing date to avoid another monthly charge. eFax does not issue prorated refunds for unused days in the billing cycle.

Once cancelled, you can send your next fax through FaxDrop without signing up. Upload your document, enter the fax number, and send. Two faxes per month are included free.
