Summary: Choosing between RapidFax and Packetel would greatly depend on your faxing needs. Packetel provides a very affordable receive-only service. For $3.95 a month you get to receive an unlimited number of faxes. This means that you do not have to pay for additional charges every month. On the other hand, RapidFax offers both sending and receiving faxes for $9.95. This is still a convenient and affordable choice for some small businesses that do not transmit a lot of faxes. It includes 300 combined inbound and outbound fax pages, and charges 8 cents per additional page.
