Unite U-Fax is a paid cloud fax service from Unite U-Fax in Markham, Ontario, Canada. It sends and receives documents through email or a secure web fax portal, and faxing APIs are available for integrating the service into an application.

Basic costs 9.95 USD per month for 200 pages, with 5 cents per additional page. Unite identifies medical and legal businesses as users needing secure faxing. It lists no compliance support and limited built-in fax storage and history.
