Switching fax providers
A per-page alternative to FAXAGE
FAXAGE details verified July 8, 2026 from public pricing and legal pages. Plans change - confirm current details on the vendor's site.
FAXAGE is one of the cheapest ways to get a BAA in online fax, and it is honestly priced - month-to-month, billed in arrears, no teaser rates. The trade is a utilitarian product metered by the minute: a one-page fax bills as a full minute, send and receive draw from separate buckets on most plans, and there is no pharmacy workflow. FaxRx bills the page, pools your allowance, and ships the pharmacy part.
FaxRx and FAXAGE, side by side
What pharmacies and clinics notice
Pages, not minutes
At FAXAGE a one-page fax bills a full minute, and a slow or dense page can bill more - their own material says a typical page runs 30-45 seconds. FaxRx counts pages: a page is a page, whatever the line speed.
One pool, not two buckets
FAXAGE budgets send and receive separately on most plans - exhaust one bucket and the other does not help. FaxRx keeps one simple monthly allowance, and receiving is never cut off by your page balance.
A portal your team can live in
FAXAGE is utilitarian by design. FaxRx is a modern web app with searchable history, a curated pharmacy fax-form library, prescriber contact books, and delivery confirmation on every fax.
No setup fee, no arithmetic
FAXAGE charges a $5 one-time setup fee per line and prices usage in minutes as of July 2026 - workable, but you will be doing math. FaxRx Starter is $15/mo with 300 pages, BAA signed at onboarding, no setup fee.
Bringing your number over
Porting into FaxRx is free on Professional and Enterprise - typically 5-10 days, and we handle the carrier paperwork. FAXAGE does not publish porting terms on its public pricing pages as of July 2026, so start the port early and keep your FAXAGE line active until it completes.
Questions pharmacies ask
FAXAGE is much cheaper - why pay more?
If bottom-dollar cost is the whole decision, FAXAGE is hard to beat and it is honestly run. The FaxRx case is the workflow: per-page billing you can predict, a modern portal, pharmacy fax-form templates, team seats, and delivery confirmation. Starter is $15/mo - the gap buys the part your staff touches every day.
What does per-minute billing mean for a pharmacy?
Pharmacy faxing skews toward short documents - refill authorizations, single-page responses. At FAXAGE every answered call bills at least one full minute as of July 2026, so a one-page fax can never cost less than a minute. FaxRx bills by page count, which maps directly to what you sent.
Can I move my FAXAGE number to FaxRx?
Yes. Porting into FaxRx is free on Professional and Enterprise, typically takes 5-10 days, and we handle the carrier paperwork. Keep your FAXAGE service active until the port completes.
Does FaxRx sign a BAA like FAXAGE does?
Yes. Every FaxRx plan includes a BAA, signed electronically during onboarding before any document touches the platform - no email request needed.
