Time to Leave Legacy Fax Behind
MyFax has been around since the early 2000s, but it's owned by j2 Global (now Ziff Davis) — the same parent company behind eFax. That means similar pricing, similar limitations, and the same dated technology under the hood. We built AvoFax for people who want a fax service that feels like it belongs in this decade.

Why Teams Switch to AvoFax
A Product That's Actually Maintained
MyFax hasn't seen meaningful product updates in years. Their interface, mobile app, and feature set are frozen in time. AvoFax ships updates weekly — new features, better performance, and an interface that keeps improving.
Not Owned by j2 Global
MyFax is one of many fax brands under the Ziff Davis (formerly j2 Global) umbrella, alongside eFax, MetroFax, and others. They share infrastructure, support teams, and pricing models. AvoFax is an independent product focused solely on building the best fax service.
Mobile Apps That Don't Feel Ancient
MyFax's mobile apps have poor ratings and outdated interfaces. Our iOS and Android apps are built with modern frameworks — fast, responsive, and include features like document scanning with ML-powered edge detection.
Organize Your Faxes
MyFax gives you a basic inbox and sent folder. AvoFax lets you create custom folders, tag faxes, search across your entire history, and use bulk actions to manage high-volume workflows.
HIPAA Compliance Included
MyFax does not offer HIPAA compliance or a BAA at any tier. If you handle protected health information, MyFax is not a viable option. AvoFax includes HIPAA compliance and a signed BAA on every plan.
Better Value per Page
MyFax charges $12.50/mo for 100 send pages and 200 receive pages — and those pools are separate. AvoFax gives you 200 combined pages for $9/mo with no send/receive split.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns MyFax?
MyFax is owned by Ziff Davis (formerly j2 Global / j2 Communications), the same company that owns eFax, MetroFax, and several other fax brands. They share similar infrastructure, pricing models, and support systems.
Is MyFax still being updated?
Barely. MyFax hasn't received significant feature updates in years. The web interface and mobile apps look and feel outdated compared to modern alternatives. AvoFax is actively developed with weekly releases.
Can I use MyFax for HIPAA-compliant faxing?
No. MyFax does not offer HIPAA compliance or a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Healthcare practices, clinics, and other covered entities should use a HIPAA-compliant fax service like AvoFax.
Why are MyFax send and receive pages separate?
MyFax splits your monthly page allotment into send pages and receive pages (100 send + 200 receive). If you use all your send pages, you can't reallocate unused receive pages. AvoFax uses a single combined pool of 200 pages that works for both sending and receiving.
How do I migrate from MyFax to AvoFax?
Sign up for AvoFax and choose a new number or port your existing MyFax number. New number setup takes about 2 minutes. Number porting takes 5-10 business days and our support team handles the process for you.
