# AvoFax vs MyFax

**Quick answer:** MyFax is a long established monthly fax service. Two things matter for many buyers: MyFax does not offer a BAA, so it is not a fit for protected health information, and inbound spam faxes count against your page allowance. AvoFax adds HIPAA with a signed BAA, lets you block unwanted senders, and offers a one time lifetime price.
