OpenText RightFax offers a suite of communication APIs, while iFax has a dedicated fax API. OpenText Notifications is a messaging API for fax, SMS, voice, and email. It has two variations: Notifications for Cloud Messaging (push messaging on mobile) and Notifications for OpenText Cloud. OpenText RightFax also offers an API for another product, XM Fax, with enterprise fax features.
iFax, on the other hand, offers a dedicated fax API with comprehensive and advanced features. It supports all basic functions like sending and receiving, with advanced options for number management, billing, and bulk fax sending.
iFax API utilizes RESTful architecture formatted in JSON, allowing seamless integration with third-party apps. JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that’s easy for machines and humans to read and write.
Meanwhile, OpenText APIs utilize RESTful architecture or SOAP protocol for communication. The OpenText XM Fax Web Service is a SOAP API using XML responses. The OpenText Notifications APIs are REST APIs using JSON responses.
iFax primarily relies on API keys, while OpenText RightFax APIs use HTTP Basic Authentication or OAuth 2.0. Using OAuth2.0, the RightFax API requires clients to manage client IDs, client secrets, bearer tokens, and user credentials. It also supports various OAuth2.0 grant types for different use cases.
Meanwhile, the iFax API authentication process is simpler, providing each client with a unique API key that automatically authenticates each request. HTTP authentication may also be used using the API key.
iFax provides API documentation, including developer resources, SDKs, and sample code snippets on its website. The documentation is simple but detailed and thorough to help developers with app integrations.
Similarly, OpenText RightFax offers API documentation, which you can access and download on their website. However, you must read the APIs carefully because the product names and their differences are confusing. There are documents for Messaging Cloud Fax, Cloud Fax Notifications, OpenText Messaging Fax, and Fax2Mail.
iFax Pro subscribers can access 24/7 live chat and phone support. Our online fax service also offers straightforward FAQs for common queries. Alternatively, clients can write to email support and get their concerns or queries answered within one business day.
Similarly, OpenText RightFax offers various support channels. Clients can call their toll-free or local numbers. Email and an online Support Portal are also available.
Comparing RightFax and iFax Fax APIs, iFax offers value for money. The iFax API is free to access in the Pro plan, which costs only $25 monthly. You don’t need to subscribe to a separate plan to use our API. We also offer a 7-day trial for those who want to evaluate our service first.
The OpenText RightFax APIs aren’t free. Prices depend on the Developer Plan you avail. RightFax doesn’t publish the price for the OpenText Cloud Notifications Developer Plan. However, it offers a 90-day free trial that allows you to send a combination of up to 1,000 email, SMS, and fax messages.
“It was cheaper compared to other providers, the ease of use and very intuitive design and the reliability of the faxes being sent. My team and I always get great support from the team whenever an issue needs to be dealt with.”
iFax offers a transparent pricing model with a Pro plan priced at $25 per month, which already includes free access to its API, complete with documentation and code samples. OpenText RightFax API’s pricing varies based on the Developer Plan chosen, with additional charges applicable.
The iFax Fax API is suitable for regulated industries, including healthcare. Pro plan subscribers can be assured of HIPAA-compliant fax using military-grade 256-bit AES encryption. Similarly, OpenText RightFax offers plans that comply with HIPAA and other regulatory guidelines.
