A Modern Alternative to eFax
eFax pioneered online faxing, but their pricing has ballooned to $17-32/month with hidden fees and an interface that hasn't been updated in years. We built AvoFax to give you the same reliability at a fraction of the cost, with a UI you'll actually enjoy using.

Why Teams Switch to AvoFax
Half the Price, Zero Hidden Fees
eFax charges $17.99/mo for their Plus plan and $31.99/mo for Pro, plus a $10 setup fee. We start at $9/mo with everything included. No surprises on your bill.
HIPAA with BAA at No Extra Cost
Every AvoFax plan comes with a signed Business Associate Agreement. eFax only offers BAA on their Corporate tier, which starts well above their posted rates.
Built for Speed
Our dashboard loads in under a second. eFax's interface was designed in the mid-2000s and it shows — slow page loads, cluttered navigation, and no dark mode.
True Mobile Experience
We built our Android and iOS apps from scratch with native performance. Scan documents with your camera, send faxes on the go, and get push notifications when faxes arrive.
Lower Overage Costs
Go over your page limit? We charge $0.05 per page. eFax charges $0.10 — double our rate. For high-volume senders, that adds up fast.
Support That Actually Responds
In our experience, eFax support tickets can take days to get a response. Our team responds within hours, and you'll talk to a real person — not a chatbot loop.
