## The Problem with Fax Subscriptions

**The typical scenario:** You need to fax one document to the IRS, so you sign up for eFax or a similar service. They charge you $16.95/month. You fax your document and forget about it. Six months later, you've paid **$100+** for a single fax.

**The better way:** Use a pay-per-fax service. Send your document for $5\. No subscription to cancel. No recurring charges. Done.

**Fax more often?** Get a [5-fax bundle for $15](/pricing) — just $3 per fax, and credits never expire.

Yes! Pay-per-use fax services like Onetime Fax let you send faxes without any monthly commitment. You only pay when you actually need to fax.

### What's the cheapest way to fax without a subscription?

For occasional use, pay-per-fax services are cheapest. Onetime Fax charges $5 for up to 100 pages — much less than a monthly subscription you'd barely use.
