Summary: RapidFax is the better choice over uReach, both in terms of features and pricing. For a minimum monthly fee of $9.95, you get to send and receive 300 pages of combined inbound and outbound faxes. uReach, on the other hand, has only 10 fax pages included in its monthly plan that costs $5.99 a month. It also has a more expensive overage rate of 10 cents per fax page, compared to 8 cents from RapidFax. If you expect to receive a fair amount of faxes, it is better to get RapidFax than uReach. The $4.00 difference would give you a lot more than it’s worth.
