Summary: RingCentral’s Fax 2500 and ClickFax’s five-user send and receive plan costs $59.99 and $57.99, respectively. However, it seems that RingCentral is the more affordable choice, since it has 2500 pages of combined inbound and outbound faxes, while ClickFax has only 500. Moreover, RingCentral’s overage rates are significantly lower then Clickfax’s. ClickFax features an optional archive CD that you can purchase per month. This is a good system of archiving your faxes. It also includes five email addresses, all connected to one virtual fax number, giving more flexibility in managing faxes. RingCentral Internet fax, on the other hand, is automatically integrated into its virtual PBX package, so if you’re already using RingCentral virtual PBX, your faxes will also by synched to your other communications.

Summary: iSendit is the more practical choice if you send hundreds of faxes everyday and do not need to receive any. It charges 8 cents per minute, while the ClickFax two-user send and receive plan charges 10 cents per fax page. Since iSendit is a fax broadcast service, sending through ClickFax may be slower than when you use iSendit. If you send and receive few faxes, you can use ClickFax. Its monthly fee of $20.95 includes 120 combined inbound and outbound pages.

Summary: Although ClickFax has more features than RapidFax, you can still get the basic functions you need with the latter. Also, it is significantly more affordable than ClickFax. For $9.99 a month, RapidFax gives 300 minutes of inbound and outbound faxes. On the other hand, ClickFax only gives 120 messages but charges a minimum of $20.95 a month. Also, since this plan provides Internet fax to two users, 120 messages seems quite a small amount for this plan.
