Humble Fax: pros and cons
What they do well
- Unlimited pages for $10/mo, which their terms scope to "individual, non-commercial use"
- Simple, single-plan pricing
- No overage fees ever
- Cancels self-serve from the billing section of the dashboard
- Free number transfer in, self-serve during signup
Where FaxTerra wins
- No free tier at all
- Only one plan on the published site, though their terms name tiered and metered account types they do not price
- Porting out requires written notice 30 days before you terminate, or their terms say they remain the customer of record and you cannot take the number
- An unauthorised port-out carries $500 in liquidated damages under their terms
The verdict
Humble Fax suits high-volume users: $10/mo flat, no overage. Two things their terms add that their marketing does not: the unlimited accounts are offered "for individual, non-commercial use", and leaving with your number requires 30 days of written notice before you terminate. If you send fewer than 200 pages, FaxTerra's Business plan at $9.99/mo is comparable, has a free tier for light months, and lets you port out free whenever you like.

Frequently asked questions
Is Humble Fax really unlimited?
Humble Fax advertises unlimited pages for $10/mo, and their terms scope that offer: "For individual, non-commercial use, we offer unlimited faxing accounts." There is no free tier, so even occasional users pay $10/mo.
How does Humble Fax compare for low-volume users?
If you send just a few faxes per month, FaxTerra's free tier covers you at $0. Humble Fax has no free option, so you pay $10/mo regardless of usage.
Does Humble Fax include a fax number?
Yes, and transferring one in is free and self-serve at signup. Taking it back out is where their terms get strict: you must give written notice 30 days before terminating, and an unauthorised port carries $500 in liquidated damages. FaxTerra also includes a dedicated number on Starter ($4.99/mo) and Business ($9.99/mo), and porting out is free with any paid plan.
