FaxTo vs Fax.Plus: the free tier, the page caps, and what they cost you
Fax.Plus has the most generous free entry point of any major fax service — 10 pages, send only, no card. It is also the one with per-fax page ceilings: 60 pages per fax on the $6.99 Basic plan, rising with the tier. FaxTo has no free tier to speak of and no per-fax ceiling; it charges one credit per page and does not charge for a fax that fails.

Choosing between FaxTo and Fax.Plus
FaxTo suits you if…
- You occasionally send a long document and do not want to discover a 60-page ceiling halfway through.
- You fax a few times a year and credits that never expire beat an allowance that resets monthly.
- You want the failed-fax rule stated plainly: no credit charged.
- You want no advertising identifiers collected from your phone.
Fax.Plus suits you if…
- You want to send a fax right now for free — 10 pages, no card, no app-store wait.
- You want a fax number in a specific country, or a toll-free one.
- You work from a desktop browser as much as a phone.
- You want a published price you can budget against today.
The free tier is real, and it is small
Fax.Plus gives new accounts 10 free pages. Not 10 a month — 10 in total, send only, with no fax number attached. That is genuinely useful: it is enough to send one short letter and see whether the recipient's line accepts it before you pay anything. It is not a plan you can live on, and it is not meant to be.
FaxTo has nothing equivalent to point at. That is a straightforward advantage for Fax.Plus if your entire need is one fax, one time.
The per-fax page ceiling
Fax.Plus caps how many pages can go in a single transmission, and the cap scales with the plan: 60 pages on Basic, 90 on Premium, 200 on Business, 250 on Enterprise. For most personal paperwork that ceiling is invisible. It becomes visible when you are faxing a full case file, a contract with annexes, or a stack of scanned receipts, and have to split it into several transmissions.
FaxTo has no per-fax page ceiling. The constraint is file size — 20 MB per document — and the credit cost, which is simply the page count.
Allowance vs. credits, again
Fax.Plus Basic gives 200 pages a month for $6.99 and charges $0.10 for each page beyond that. That is a low per-page cost if you use the allowance. If you send twelve pages a year, you are paying $83.88 annually for twelve pages. Credits remove the timer: a pack sits on the account until you use it.
Where Fax.Plus is the better choice
Fax.Plus is a more complete product than FaxTo is today. It runs in a browser as well as on both mobile platforms, includes an incoming fax number from its cheapest paid tier, sells numbers in a long list of countries including toll-free options, and — decisively — you can use it this afternoon. FaxTo is not on the app stores yet.
