Summary: Aside from being more affordable than MyFax, RingCentral also has more features and advantages. Although both have 300 fax pages included in the two plans compared above, RingCentral offers the pages as combined inbound and outbound faxes. On the other hand, MyFax divides the 300 pages to 200 inbound and 100 outbound fax pages. This limits you and may even cost you more than how much you are paying when you send more than how much you receive, or vice versa.

Summary: Faxaway offers a very affordable fax service. For $1.00 a month, you are given an unlimited number of received fax pages. However, if you need to send a lot of fax pages, you should consider getting one that also has outbound pages included in its monthly plan. MyFax’s Best Value plan has 100 outbound pages, as well as 200 inbound pages, in its monthly plan that costs $10.00. You should also take note that Faxaway only has Seattle numbers, while MyFax offers toll free and local numbers.
