What Shotfax is
Shotfax is a web service for sending individual faxes without an account or subscription. It supports destinations in more than 55 countries across North America and Europe, but not other regions. Upload a PDF, JPG, or PNG file up to 10 MB; JPG and PNG files are converted to black-and-white PDFs. The listed Single fax price is $2.99, paid once, covering up to 20 pages, while the Pay per send plan is $2.99 a month with no subscription and the same page and file limits. Transmission uses Telnyx and usually takes about a minute. An optional email receipt includes a timestamp and page count. Failed sends are retried up to three times and refunded if they never connect. Uploaded files are deleted after delivery or the final failed attempt, while job records remain 90 days. Shotfax is send-only, has no mobile apps or receiving number, and is not designed for bulk faxing.

Verdict
Shotfax focuses on one-off outbound faxing through a browser, with broad North American and European coverage and clear file limits. Its send-only design and lack of HIPAA Business Associate Agreements limit suitable use cases.
