WestFax costs less than iFax for a practice that needs a BAA. One person at 500 pages pays $14.99 a month, month to month, on WestFax Solo and $24.99 a month billed annually on iFax Plus, the lowest iFax plan with a BAA.

Which plan with a BAA is cheaper at 500 pages, iFax Plus or WestFax Solo?

WestFax Solo is the cheaper plan with a BAA at 500 pages: $14.99 a month with no annual option, against $24.99 a month billed annually and $29.99 month to month for iFax Plus. The table compares the cheapest plan with a BAA at 500 pages a month for one person.

Each plan in this row serves one person: WestFax Solo is capped at one user, and iFax includes one user license. The iFax annual price is the lower of its two and WestFax has no annual price, so the WestFax price sits below the best iFax price. Over a year, WestFax Solo adds up to $179.88, while iFax Plus adds up to $299.88 billed annually and $359.88 month to month.

How do iFax and WestFax prices compare with a BAA at 500 and 1,000 pages?

WestFax costs less than iFax at 500 pages and at 1,000 pages: Solo is $14.99 and $29.99 a month, month to month, against $24.99 (Plus) and $33.33 (Pro) a month billed annually for iFax. The table shows the cheapest plan with a BAA for one person, as a price a month, at 500 and 1,000 pages sent and received.

Billed month to month, iFax is $29.99 at 500 pages and $39.99 at 1,000 pages, so the gap to WestFax is smaller at 1,000 pages than at 500 whichever way iFax is billed. At 1,000 pages the iFax plan with a BAA moves from Plus to Pro, while WestFax stays on Solo.

Over a year at 1,000 pages, WestFax Solo adds up to $359.88, against $399.96 for iFax Pro billed annually and $479.88 month to month. iFax prints no overage rate, and its Terms of Use add credits automatically, charged to the payment method, once usage reaches 95% of the plan limit, so these totals use the iFax plan that includes the pages.

Which is cheaper for five people with a BAA, iFax or WestFax?

WestFax is cheaper for five people: WestFax Team is $39.95 a month, month to month, at 500 and at 1,000 pages, while iFax Pro with four team licenses is $93.29 a month billed annually or $111.95 month to month. The table shows the cheapest plan with a BAA for 5 people, as a price a month, at 500 and 1,000 pages sent and received.

Neither five-person price changes between 500 and 1,000 pages. For $39.95, WestFax Team covers all 5 users and 1,500 pages in one plan, which spans both volumes in the table.

The iFax row is one Pro plan plus four team licenses, because iFax takes Plus off its selector when a team chooses two or more team licenses. Pro at $33.33 plus four licenses at $14.99 each makes the $93.29 billed annually, and Pro at $39.99 plus four at $17.99 each makes the $111.95 month to month. Over a year, WestFax Team adds up to $479.40, against $1,119.48 for iFax billed annually and $1,343.40 month to month.

Which iFax and WestFax plans come with a BAA?

In the BAA column, iFax reads "Included on Plus and Pro" and WestFax reads "Included on every plan". iFax charges nothing for its BAA, and its Basic plan has no HIPAA terms. The table shows how each provider handles the BAA and the people each plan includes.

Neither BAA forces an annual contract: iFax Plus is $29.99 and iFax Pro is $39.99 month to month, and WestFax has no annual billing. WestFax carries the BAA on Solo, Team and Team 3,000 alike.

How many users do iFax and WestFax include, and what do extra users cost?

iFax includes one user license and sells more as team licenses at $17.99 a month each for a team of 5, while WestFax allows one user on Solo, 5 on Team and 25 on Team 3,000.

On annual billing that license is $14.99 at 5 users. Smaller and larger teams pay other rates: $19.99 a month ($16.66 billed annually) for 2 to 3 users and $16.99 ($14.16 billed annually) at 10 users.

WestFax Solo stops at one user, so a second user means Team at $39.95, and a sixth user means Team 3,000 at $69.99. A practice that wants no per-user pricing can compare HIPAA fax plans with unlimited users.

What does it cost to port a number or add one at iFax and WestFax?

Porting a number into WestFax costs $20 once, and each extra WestFax number costs $4.95 a month plus a $20 setup fee, against $4.99 a month for each extra iFax number.

Who should switch between iFax and WestFax, and to which plan?

A practice that needs a BAA should switch from iFax to WestFax Solo for one person and to WestFax Team for five, because WestFax costs less in each price table above.

One person on iFax Plus at $24.99 a month billed annually would pay $14.99 a month, month to month, on WestFax Solo. Five people on iFax Pro with four team licenses at $93.29 a month billed annually would pay $39.95 on WestFax Team.
