A Simpler Alternative to eFax.
Same fax delivery, same encryption, same dedicated numbers — without the annual contract, without the per-page overage surprises, and starting at $0/month if you only fax occasionally. HelpMeFax is built for people who want a fax service that respects their time and their budget.
No credit card required to start. Pay only when you send a fax.
If you don't fax every day, you shouldn't pay every month.
eFax is a fine product if you're a high-volume sender. But most people aren't — they send a few faxes a month, usually around specific events: a closing, a court filing, a referral, an insurance form. Paying $20/month and $0.10/page on top for a service you barely use is how subscription fatigue happens. HelpMeFax was built for everyone in between — including high-volume senders who happen to prefer transparent pricing.
If you DO fax every day, our Professional plan ($25/mo) and Enterprise plan ($99/mo) compete head-on with eFax's mid-tier plans — and they come with no contract, no per-page surcharges past the included usage, and an included dedicated number.

Three real reasons to switch.
Not the marketing fluff. The actual structural differences in how we run the service.
No contract
Every paid plan is month-to-month. Cancel from your settings page in two clicks. You'll keep your benefits through the rest of the period you paid for — no partial refund, no early-termination fee, no phone-tree to escape.
Pay only when you send
On Pay As You Go, there's no monthly fee at all. You pay a few cents per page, only when a fax actually delivers. Failed transmissions cost nothing. If you don't fax for three months, you don't pay for three months.
Transparent pricing
Per-page rates posted publicly on our pricing page. Subscription discounts are stated upfront — 10% on Starter, 20% on Pro, 30% on Enterprise. No hidden per-page overages above the included usage. The number you see when you sign up is the number you pay.
Our law firm switched from eFax and we're saving hundreds per month. The interface is intuitive and the delivery confirmations give us peace of mind for legal documents.
Common questions about switching.
Try it before you cancel eFax.
Free signup, no credit card, no commitment. Send a test fax, see if the experience fits your workflow, then decide whether to keep both, switch over, or walk away. No risk.
