Fax Should Not Be Expensive
Sending a fax is a basic task. You have a document, you have a number, and you need the document to arrive. Yet most online fax services charge monthly subscriptions starting at $10 to $20, even if you only send a few pages a year. That pricing model makes fax inaccessible for individuals, small businesses, and anyone who needs to send a fax occasionally rather than daily.
UnoFax charges $0.29 AUD per page, flat, to any of our 45+ supported countries. No subscription. No account required. No minimum commitment. That price applies whether you are faxing a single-page form to the United States or a ten-page contract to Japan. This post breaks down what that costs in other currencies, how it compares to competitors, and why affordable fax pricing matters across different use cases.
What $0.29 AUD Costs in Your Currency
Because UnoFax prices in Australian dollars, the per-page cost in your local currency depends on the current exchange rate. Based on rates as of March 2026, here is what one page costs:
| Currency | Per Page | 10-Page Fax |
|---|---|---|
| AUD (Australian Dollar) | $0.29 | $2.90 |
| USD (US Dollar) | ~$0.21 | ~$2.06 |
| EUR (Euro) | ~€0.18 | ~€1.79 |
| GBP (British Pound) | ~£0.15 | ~£1.54 |
| CAD (Canadian Dollar) | ~$0.28 | ~$2.82 |
| JPY (Japanese Yen) | ~¥33 | ~¥327 |
| KRW (South Korean Won) | ~₩306 | ~₩3,063 |
These figures are approximate and fluctuate with exchange rates. The key point: a typical fax of five to ten pages costs a few dollars at most, regardless of which country you are in or which country you are sending to. There are no separate international surcharges. The per-page rate is the same to all supported destinations.
How This Compares to Subscription Services
Most online fax providers use subscription pricing. You pay a monthly fee that includes a set number of pages, and you pay overage charges if you exceed that allowance. Here is how UnoFax compares to common alternatives for a user who sends 10 pages in a month:
| Service | Monthly Cost | Cost for 10 Pages | Account Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| UnoFax | None | $2.90 AUD (~$2.06 USD) | No |
| eFax | From $18.99 USD | $18.99+ USD | Yes |
| MyFax | From $10.00 USD | $10.00+ USD | Yes |
| HelloFax | From $9.99 USD | $9.99+ USD | Yes |
With subscription services, you pay the full monthly fee even if you send zero pages. With UnoFax, months where you do not fax cost you nothing. For anyone who faxes fewer than 50 pages per month, pay-per-page pricing is substantially cheaper than the cheapest subscription plan available.

Use Cases Where Affordable Fax Pricing Matters
Fax is not limited to large enterprises with dedicated fax lines. A wide range of people need to send faxes occasionally, and for them, a subscription model makes no sense.
Healthcare patients and providers: Patients sending medical records to a new doctor, transferring prescriptions, or submitting insurance claims often need to fax a handful of pages once or twice a year. A monthly subscription for this is wasteful. At $0.29 AUD per page, faxing a five-page medical record costs under $1.50 AUD. Healthcare providers in the United States rely on fax for HIPAA-compliant document exchange, and smaller clinics benefit from pay-per-page pricing that scales with their actual volume.
Legal filings: Individuals and solo practitioners filing court documents, sending signed contracts, or submitting notarized paperwork need reliable fax delivery with proof of transmission. A single filing of three to five pages costs under $1.50 AUD. For detailed guidance on faxing legal paperwork, see our guide to faxing legal documents.
Immigration and government forms: Visa applications, tax filings, and permit requests frequently require fax submission to government agencies in the United States, Germany, Japan, and other countries. These are one-time or annual tasks, not recurring workflows. Pay-per-page pricing matches the sporadic nature of these requirements.
Small businesses and freelancers: A freelance consultant sending a signed agreement, a small retailer faxing a purchase order to a supplier, or a startup submitting incorporation documents to a government office. None of these users need a $10 to $20 monthly subscription. They need to send a fax, confirm delivery, and move on.
International personal use: Sending documents to family overseas, transmitting property paperwork across borders, or submitting applications to foreign institutions. With UnoFax, faxing to South Korea, France, or Australia costs the same per-page rate as a domestic fax.
No Account, No Subscription, No Barriers
Price is only one part of accessibility. The other part is friction. Many fax services require you to create an account, verify your email, choose a plan, and enter payment details before you can send a single page. That process can take ten minutes or more, and it creates an ongoing relationship you did not ask for: stored personal data, future marketing emails, and a subscription you have to remember to cancel.
UnoFax removes all of that. You open your browser, upload your document, enter the fax number, and pay for the pages you are sending. The entire process takes about two minutes. No account. No password. No stored credit card. You can send from a desktop computer or directly from your phone.
This matters for people who need to send a fax once and may not need to again for months. It also matters for users in countries where recurring subscription charges in foreign currencies create complications with banks or payment providers. A single, transparent transaction in a known amount is simpler for everyone.
Built on Compliant Fax Infrastructure
Affordable pricing does not mean cutting corners on delivery. UnoFax transmits faxes through a carrier-grade fax infrastructure provider that is certified for telecommunications compliance in Australia. This means your fax is delivered over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) using the T.38 fax-over-IP protocol, the industry standard for reliable fax transmission.
The carrier infrastructure handles automatic retries if the receiving line is busy, supports both standard and fine resolution modes, and generates transmission confirmations that serve as proof of delivery. You can check your delivery status at any time to see whether your fax was successfully received, is being retried, or encountered an issue.
For sensitive documents, the entire upload and transmission pipeline uses encryption. Your files are processed and transmitted, not stored indefinitely. Learn more about how we handle document security on our security page.
The Shift Away from Subscription Fax
The online fax industry grew in the early 2000s on a subscription model borrowed from traditional telecom: monthly plans with bundled page allowances. Services like eFax, MyFax, and RingCentral Fax built large customer bases this way, and subscriptions made sense for offices that sent and received dozens of faxes per day.
That usage pattern has changed. Physical fax machines have largely disappeared from offices. The people who still need to send faxes are increasingly individuals and small teams handling specific tasks: a court filing, a medical referral, an immigration form, a signed contract. These users do not need a monthly plan. They need to send a document once and know it arrived.
Pay-per-page services have emerged to serve this shift. By eliminating subscriptions, accounts, and bundled features that most users never touch, services like UnoFax can offer lower prices and a simpler experience. The result is that fax becomes accessible to anyone with a browser and a document, not just organizations with IT budgets and telecom contracts.
