GotFreeFax vs FaxTerra
GotFreeFax adds no ads and no branding to the fax itself, free or paid, by their own FAQ, and their prepaid pages cost less per page than ours. What they do not sell is a private fax number: their free receiving is one shared public number whose inbound list anyone can view, and their own page warns against using it for anything sensitive. Choose them for a cheap one-off send, and us when a reply has to reach you privately or the free pages have to come back every month.

GotFreeFax: pros and cons
What they do well
- No ads and no branding on the fax itself, free or paid, stated in their own FAQ
- Sends without an account or a card
- Prepaid page credits never expire, and run cheaper per page than our packs
- Their free cover page does not count toward the page limit
Where FaxTerra wins
- Free tier is 2 faxes a day at 3 pages each, with a confirmation-email round trip before anything sends
- PayPal is the only payment method named anywhere on their site
- No private inbound number: the free receiving they offer is one shared public number whose inbound list anyone can view, and their own page warns against sending anything sensitive to it
- Narrow file-format support: PDF, DOC and DOCX, ODT, RTF and JPG only
- No published refund policy, and their terms disclaim responsibility for undelivered faxes
The verdict
GotFreeFax earns its "free fax with no ads" reputation, and on raw price per page their prepaid credits beat our packs. The differences are shape rather than cost: their free tier is a daily cap of 2 faxes at 3 pages where ours is 10 pages a month, they take PayPal and we take cards, their file-format list is narrower, and they sell no private fax number at all. If a reply has to reach you, that last one decides it: our Starter plan includes a number of your own for $4.99/mo, and we reach 27 countries on paid credits.

Frequently asked questions
Is GotFreeFax really free with no ads?
Yes. Their FAQ states that they add no ads and no logo or brand to your fax, on the free tier or the paid one, and that the advertising is on their web site and in the confirmation email instead. On that point they match FaxTerra rather than differ from us. The free tier is limited to 2 faxes a day of 3 pages each, and the fax is not sent until you open a confirmation link.
How many free faxes does GotFreeFax allow?
GotFreeFax allows 2 free faxes per day, each up to 3 pages. FaxTerra offers 10 free pages per month with no per-fax limit.
Can I send international faxes with GotFreeFax?
Not on the free tier, which covers the US and Canada only. They sell international sending to 200+ countries as a separate prepaid product with a per-page rate plus a processing fee. FaxTerra reaches 27 countries on any paid balance, at the same price per page as a domestic send.
Does GotFreeFax offer a fax number for receiving?
Not a private one. They publish a single shared public toll-free number that anyone can receive on, where the inbound list is visible to everyone and faxes are deleted after five days; their own page says not to use it for personal or sensitive information and points people needing a real inbound number elsewhere. FaxTerra's Starter plan ($4.99/mo) includes a fax number that is yours alone, with a private inbox.
