Comparing iFax and Fax.to API

iFax is much more affordable and predictable

iFax’s Pro plan, at only $25 per month, already includes access to its programmable Fax API, enabling you to integrate fax online functionalities into existing systems. On top of that, it offers a 7-day free trial, giving you plenty of time to test the API out and see if it meets your requirements. You also get two months free by choosing to subscribe annually.

Meanwhile, Fax.to’s pay-as-you-go pricing allows you to pay only for what you use without making monthly commitments. Note that its rates per page vary depending on the destination country, but it offers discounts for high-volume fax API usage. For example, using its Fax API to send faxes in the US will cost you $0.10 per page.

“It was cheaper compared to other providers, the ease of use and very intuitive design and the reliability of the faxes being sent.“

John M.

iFax is fully compliant with HIPAA laws

iFax uses robust authentication measures to establish connections. Each API call also requires a specific HTTP method to indicate the type of operation to be performed. Access tokens are also unique to each user, providing an additional layer of security. Additionally, all fax transmissions that go through iFax via API are encrypted with the highest level of encryption, so they remain protected against potential threats and vulnerabilities.

Fax.to, on the other hand, uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to safeguard the communication between its Fax API and your existing system. The online fax provider also has built-in redundancy, meaning it has backup systems in place to ensure reliability and availability.

“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

iFax supports robust EHR and EMR integrations

With iFax, you can configure its API to make calls to send faxes, receive faxes, and even do a fax number search. It has provided detailed API documentation for every request and response formats, making it easy for you to integrate fax functionality into EMR/EHR systems, medical and billing software, CRM software, and other business apps that support integrations via API.

For Fax.to, you can do the same. The online fax service provider has also made its API codes available for developers to view and access on GitHub.

“Faxing is not necessarily a thing of the past. And when you need it, it needs to be quick and easy without the headache of maintaining a fax machine. iFax is the perfect fit.”

Jerry Manager

Access a host of requests in the iFax API library

iFax provides more extensive features for managing fax numbers, including searching, purchasing, and deleting numbers.

For sending and receiving faxes, you can make requests for:

Creating fax
Resending fax
Viewing fax status
Cancelling a fax
Deleting a fax
Viewing received fax lists
Deleting a received fax
And more

Fax.to, on top of its standard fax sending and receiving requests, allows its API to deploy requests for additional actions like generating fax previews, displaying fax history, and showing cash balance.

“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.”

With iFax, you are assured of a 99.99% uptime

iFax ensures successful transmissions with fewer interruptions. When using its API to fax from your existing software or application, you can also have it display the fax status so you’ll know whether the document has been successfully delivered. If a delivery fails, you can configure the API to resend the fax or cancel it altogether.

Fax.to’s functions similarly in such a way that it also lets you configure its Fax API to display the fax status and history. On top of this, it also enables you to create a request to delete the file you uploaded after sending the fax.

“Great customer service! The Google Workspace integration has been great for our organization. Everyone likes it compared to our previous service.”
