FaxSalad

What FaxSalad is

FaxSalad lets customers send and receive faxes through a browser, email, or smartphone, with web, Android, and iOS access. Its online portal can send documents without requiring the sender to own a fax number. Email to Fax sends from an email account and lets whitelisted senders fax on the account holder’s behalf. Incoming faxes can be delivered as PDFs to multiple email recipients or viewed in the portal.

The service accepts PDF, AI, DOC, DOCX, RTF, JPG, PNG, and GIF files, combines multiple attachments, and does not charge for cover pages. FaxSalad says it supports sending and receiving in over 40 countries at flat rates without international surcharges. Existing fax numbers can be ported, though fees may depend on the country. Faxes are encrypted in transit and at rest, remain available in the portal for up to three months, or can be set for deletion upon receipt. The homepage describes the service as HIPAA compliant. Standard costs $10 a month and includes 150 sent and received pages monthly; Pro costs $20 a month and includes 450 each. Pay-as-you-go sending to the United States costs $0.08 per page, receiving costs $0.03 per page, and a local fax number costs $5 a month.
