I'm not sure the Phaxio pricing is all that much higher than Twilio. They're covering failed faxes, cancelled faxes, faxes that require multiple retries, and faxes that just take a long time — only charging per page delivered. Those will all eat up minutes that you'll pay for with Twilio.
In any case, their pricing model has been far preferable to their old competitor, Interfax: https://www.interfax.net/en/prices https://www.interfax.net/en/prices
- kelnos 10y agoWe (Twilio) are also only charging for successful delivery. Failures to not incur any billing. Retry is (currently) on the customer to implement, but since we don't charge for failures, that doesn't affect cost. Yes, we're charging per-minute fees, but for US, at least, it's sub-1-cent, and with my testing so far, I haven't seen it go more than a couple minutes per page for something fairly complex, and that's worst case.
- tyingq 10y agoSomeone else in this business says they see 1 minute for 1 page faxes, but faster for longer faxes...Because the first page has the initial handshake. http://www.faxage.com/learn_faxing_by_minutes_versus_faxing_by_pages.php http://www.faxage.com/learn_faxing_by_minutes_versus_faxing_... I'm sure some pages take longer, but it doesn't seem odd that most pages aren't complex.
