In these troubled times for our economy, having a free faxing software option can really help us. We can save money we’d spend on a program that is not suitable for our case and we also save the trouble of downloading illegal copies of a program.
The use of fax software – even with a paid version – cuts greatly our costs, since we no longer have to deal with the expenses fax machines have: maintenance, paper supplies, ink supplies are all added to the cost of the fax machine itself.
When we are talking about free faxing software, we are talking about “freeware” and “shareware”. Freeware is completely free, but since it is developed thanks to donations and good intentions, it is in some cases left without support and documentation, making it harder to use.
Another alternative for a free faxing software solution would be “shareware”. A shareware faxing program is a version of a paid program without some functions activated or with a limited time of trial (usually 30 days).
After that time has passed, it is your choice if you keep using the program (by paying) or try another fax software alternative.
If you are just starting out with online faxing, it is very convenient to start by using the mentioned free options, letting you try the available alternatives before taking money off your wallet.
If you need to find a program to send a fax once or for a couple of times, it is also a great option. After all, you won’t spend money on fax software that you’ll only use once!
If on the other side, you intend to fax for a small business or company, free faxing software may not be good, since you don’t have support to handle all our communications. An email fax serviced or fax server software may be the best option.
