What Free includes

Verify your email and save a card through Stripe without a charge. One free account per verified email and card. No automatic paid upgrade. Free includes one user, no personal fax number and no incoming faxes.

Every free fax uses (647) 945-8149 and a mandatory cover with your name, verified email, “Sent with FaxCan free” and “Replies to this number are not delivered. Contact the sender at <email>.”

All advertising and promotions are banned. Automated OCR and AI screen each free fax before sending; flagged or uncertain content is held for authorised staff review. Unapproved faxes are deleted without sending within 23 hours and you are emailed. Documents and summaries are deleted within 24 hours. Daily capacity is limited and free sending may be paused.

When paying for a month can make sense

If you need a number where people can fax you back, the monthly plan includes one. Choose a Canadian number region for it at signup. Incoming faxes arrive by email with the PDF and appear in your Inbox.

If you fax regularly, compare the monthly price with how many pages you expect to use. Solo includes 200 sent pages, Office 500 and Locations 1,000 per month. Extra sent pages cost C$0.10, C$0.08 and C$0.06 respectively. The default monthly overage cap is C$25; owners and admins can set C$0–C$500. Faxes you receive never count and are never blocked. Annual plans save 20%, with monthly page allowances.

For more than one document page, or to receive replies at your own number, choose a paid plan. Check the cost before you sign up.

Questions to ask about a free fax offer

Before choosing a service advertised as free, ask:

  • How many pages can I send without paying?
  • Can I receive a reply on a fax number?
  • Will I need a card, and could a paid subscription start later?
  • Will anything be added to my document or cover sheet?
  • How long will you and the carrier keep the document?

These are questions to check with the provider, not a description of another service’s offer.
