RingCentral Fax: pros and cons
What they do well
- 3,000 pages a month on the standalone Fax 3000 plan
- Part of a full communications suite
Where FaxTerra wins
- No free tier
- Priced per user, so a five-person office pays five times the headline
- Their own footnote counts a page as a minute of transmission: "fax page count assumes the average document takes 1 minute per page to send"
- Cancelling means calling or chatting with support, answering a security question and giving the last four digits of the card, and the account is disabled for 30 days first
The verdict
RingCentral Fax is built for high-volume enterprise use, and the headline is per user: three people on Fax 3000 is three times $22.99. Their own footnote also counts a page as a minute of transmission, and cancelling routes you to an agent. If you send fewer than 200 pages a month, FaxTerra's Business plan at $9.99/mo covers as many people as you like and cancels with a button.

Frequently asked questions
Is RingCentral Fax standalone?
Yes. RingCentral offers a standalone Fax 3000 plan at $22.99/mo billed annually, or $27.99 month to month, and their plan card states that price "per user, per month". It is also available as part of their broader communications platform.
How does RingCentral compare for small businesses?
RingCentral's $22.99/mo for 3,000 pages is good for high volume, but it is priced per user, so a three-person office pays three times it. Most small businesses fax far less: FaxTerra's Starter ($4.99/mo, 50 pages) or Business ($9.99/mo, 200 pages) covers that volume, with as many people on the account as they like.
Does RingCentral have a free trial?
RingCentral runs a standing 7-day free trial for new subscribers, limited to five users, with a "Try free" button on the plan card. What they do not have is a permanent free tier. FaxTerra gives you 10 free pages every month, forever.
