What will your fax cost?

Select a PDF and read off pages and price straight away. Nothing leaves your device.

Updated on:

On CaptainFax a single page goes out free, with no cap on how many such faxes you send. Anything from two pages up costs one flat €3.99 including VAT per send, however long the document is. This counter reads your PDF’s page count in the browser and shows the exact price before you commit.

How the price is decided

There are just two tiers. A single-page document is free, with no quota. From two pages upward the price is €3.99 including the French VAT of 20%, whether the document has two pages or forty. Card payment goes through Stripe as you submit the form, ahead of the confirmation e-mail.

Pages are counted in the PDF you attach. The tool applies the same logic as our servers: it follows the file’s page structure, compressed modern PDFs included, rather than estimating. The figure shown is thus the one that determines your price. Everything runs inside your browser, so a lease, a referral letter or a payslip never has to leave your computer to be checked. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, image and plain-text files are also accepted by the sending form. They do not pass through this counter; we count their pages only when you send, once each one has become a PDF.

On top of that comes the optional receipt pack at €2.99: two PDFs, one confirming the request and one the transmission, useful for keeping a dated record. Billing happens only if the fax is delivered. Should a document spill slightly onto a second page, printing it to PDF using “fit to page” may squeeze it back onto one sheet.

Pricing questions

Does the counter upload my PDF to CaptainFax?
No. Counting happens locally in your browser and nothing is transmitted. The file is sent only if you attach it to the fax form afterwards.
Does the price vary with the destination country?
No. All seven destinations cost the same: nothing for one page, €3.99 from two pages, and no surcharge for distance or call duration.
What happens if the fax is not delivered?
A send of several pages is charged up front. Should the fax fail to get through, contact us via the contact page with your send reference and the whole amount goes back to your card. Receipts are never billed for an undelivered fax.
