Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: FAX from iPhone at free with in-app purchases against eFax® Plus's subscription. FAX from iPhone also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 29%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). eFax® Plus's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 5.5K) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. eFax® Plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $16.99 per month and FAX from iPhone sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for eFax® Plus against 4.6 for FAX from iPhone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eFax® Plus has 29K ratings behind it against 5.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of eFax® Plus's written reviews are positive against 54% of FAX from iPhone's.
eFax® Plus ships an update every 6 weeks, FAX from iPhone every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
