Dropbox Fax: pros and cons
What they do well
- Deep Dropbox integration
- 300 pages on the entry plan
- A free tier they call free, not a trial: 5 pages, and their page offers up to 20 more for sharing or completing quick actions
- $0.99 per fax up to 10 pages with no plan at all, then $0.20 a page
- Cancels self-serve in settings, in their own words without calling anyone
Where FaxTerra wins
- Receiving needs a paid plan; the free tier sends only
- Porting a number in needs the $19.99/mo Professional plan, and their page says there may be a one-time fee without naming it
- Built around Dropbox, so it suits you best if you already use it
The verdict
Dropbox Fax has real page allowances and, contrary to how it is often described, a free tier and a $0.99 pay-per-fax path. What it does not have is a free tier that comes back: their free pages are earned once and that is the end of them. FaxTerra's 10 free pages come back each month, and its $4.99/mo entry point includes a number, for people who do not need 300 pages a month.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dropbox Fax the same as HelloFax?
Yes, HelloFax was acquired by Dropbox and rebranded. The service is now integrated into the Dropbox ecosystem.
Does Dropbox Fax have a free plan?
Yes. Their page calls it "Truly free faxing, no trial, no credit card": 5 free pages, and they offer up to 20 more for sharing or completing quick actions. It is a one-time allowance, and receiving needs a paid plan. FaxTerra's 10 free pages are monthly, not one-time.
Do I need Dropbox to use Dropbox Fax?
While you don't strictly need a Dropbox account, the service is designed around the Dropbox ecosystem. FaxTerra works on its own and does not need another account.
