# Send One Fax Without a Subscription ($2.99, Any Length)

Pay $2.99 for a single fax of any length, from the web or the FaxUp app, with nothing that renews. When a credit pack or a plan is cheaper, worked out with real FaxUp prices.

**Yes, you can send a fax from your phone or browser without a subscription: FaxUp charges $2.99 for one fax of any length, in the iPhone and Android apps or on faxup.net, and nothing renews.** A one-page fax to the US or Canada can even be [free](https://faxup.net/free-fax).

When faxing is a handful of times a year, say a medical form, a tax authorization or a lease, a monthly fax subscription makes little sense. FaxUp lets you buy exactly one fax, at the same price on the web and in the iPhone and Android apps.

## What $2.99 gets you

-   **One fax, any length.** One credit covers the whole document, plus a cover page if you add one.
-   **Any US or Canada fax number**, or one of the [62 countries](https://faxup.net/international-fax) FaxUp reaches, at the same price.
-   **A preview of every page** in black and white before you pay, so you know what will print.
-   **Automatic retries** if the line is busy or the call drops, and the credit back if the fax still can't be delivered.
-   **Nothing that renews.** It is a one-time payment, not a trial.

## How to send just one

1.  Open [faxup.net/send](https://faxup.net/send), or the FaxUp app on iPhone or Android.
2.  Add your document: PDF, Word, photos, or a scan from the app.
3.  Enter the fax number and check the preview.
4.  Choose the single fax ($2.99) and pay. On the web, that is a Stripe checkout; you come straight back to your fax.
5.  Follow the status until it says delivered.

## Is it free if it's one page?

To a US or Canada number, yes. The [free fax](https://faxup.net/free-fax) sends one page, plus an optional one-page cover, when you sign in with your email; no card needed. If your document turns out to be longer, you can send it for $1.99 instead.

## When a pack or a plan is cheaper

FaxUp's own prices, from the [pricing page](https://faxup.net/pricing):

| You expect to send | Cheapest option | Cost |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 fax | Single fax | $2.99 |
| 2 to 5 faxes, any time | 5-fax pack | $3.99 |
| 6 to 10 faxes | 10-fax pack | $5.99 |
| Every week, or you need to receive faxes | FaxUp Unlimited | $3.99/week, $11.99/month or $89.99/year |

Two faxes already cost more as singles than the 5-fax pack, and pack credits never expire, so if there is any chance of a second fax, the pack is the better buy. Unlimited is the only option with a fax number of your own for receiving faxes; it renews until you cancel and has fair-use limits (up to 15 faxes a day and 100 a month).

## Before you pay

-   **Check the number twice.** A wrong number that rings a voice line or nothing at all can't be delivered; the credit comes back, but your deadline doesn't wait.
-   **Look at the preview, not the original.** Faint pencil, light colors and stamps can disappear. The free [fax preview](https://faxup.net/fax-preview) explains what might not survive.
-   **Add a cover page** with your name, a way to reach you and any reference number. Make one with the [cover sheet maker](https://faxup.net/fax-cover-sheet) or in the send flow.

Ready to send it?

One fax is $2.99, any number of pages, with no subscription. You see every page as it will print before it goes, and a fax that can't be delivered gives its credit back.

## Questions

### Is the $2.99 fax really one payment?

Yes. You pay $2.99 once on the secure Stripe checkout (or in the app), the fax is sent, and nothing renews. There is no plan to cancel afterwards.

### Does a longer document cost more?

No. FaxUp charges per fax, not per page: one credit sends one fax, whether it is 1 page or 40. A cover page doesn't add to the price.

### Do I need an account?

No account is needed to send. If you sign in with your email (a 6-digit code, no password), any credits you buy are kept safe and shared between the web and the app.

### What happens if the fax fails?

FaxUp retries the call on its own. If it still can't be delivered, the credit goes back to your balance, so you can send again later or to a corrected number without paying twice.

### Do credits expire?

No. A credit bought today can be used next year.

### Can I send one fax abroad?

Yes, to 62 countries from faxup.net/send, at the same one credit per fax. A paid credit or plan is required for faxes outside the US and Canada.
