About Cheapfax
What is Cheapfax?
Cheapfax is a phone app for sending faxes to the United States and Canada. It charges by the page using purchased credit rather than a recurring subscription.
What Cheapfax does
Users scan documents with a camera or import files from Files, Photos or another app. The app crops and straightens pages, calculates the total including an optional cover sheet and tracks transmission progress. Delivered faxes provide a PDF receipt, while failed transmissions return credit to the balance.
Who Cheapfax is for
People who need to send paperwork from their phone without a fax machine can use Cheapfax. It is a sending service rather than an inbox for receiving faxes.
How Cheapfax works
The user scans or imports a document and enters the recipient’s fax number. A cover sheet can be selected before reviewing page count and cost. Existing balance is used first, with additional credit purchased through Apple or Google when needed. The app sends a notification with delivery or failure status, and history retains both outcomes.
