Clicksend vs iFax

HIPAA Compliance

iFax ensures compliance with essential regulations like HIPAA, GLBA, and GDPR by employing robust security measures such as AES 256-bit encryption and TLS 1.2 security protocols to safeguard data during transmission. Additionally, it provides multifactor authentication for user logins, conducts regular security audits, and ensures strict adherence to the security standards outlined by these regulations.

Meanwhile, ClickSend cannot sign agreements related to HIPAA compliance. Plus, there’s no mention of whether the online fax service complies with other regulations, like GDPR and GLBA. It’s best to contact them directly to clarify whether their service aligns with your specific compliance needs.

“Overall, iFax is easy to use, and I like it. I work in the health industry. It is important for me to have software with HIPAA compliance. It is worth to pay money to be compliant.”
Natsumi M. Business Owner

Pricing and Plans

iFax’s price starts at $8.33 monthly for 200 pages, but if you want access to its developer API, you must choose the Pro plan priced at $25 monthly for 1000 pages when billed annually. With it, you can already generate a secret API key for integrating its fax services into existing applications and systems. At this price, you also gain access to other advanced features such as fax via email, eSignatures, and fax OCR. 

ClickSend, on the other hand, provides free access to its fax-sending API key and documentation upon signup. It’s a “pay for what you use” type of fax service, meaning the overall rate will be based on the total number of pages sent. It doesn’t charge any setup fee, but its outbound faxing costs $0.6842 per page. 

“Our organization has been using this iFax service for a few months now, and it has been working very well. The customer service team are excellent, they have been very helpful in explaining our usage and how we can benefit from upgrading to a better package that will cost us less instead of trying to sell us more than we need.”
