The gap

Occasional fax users need an affordable, transparent pay-per-use model. Current apps like FAX from iPhone and FaxFree use deceptive 'free' marketing and lock users into expensive weekly subscriptions for single-use tasks.

“This was advertised to me as a free faxing app and I only tried to send one fax and it tried to charge me $10 it’s clearly not free not even for any time or one fact even nothing. Nothing is free about this app. I can go to Staples and pay way less than that.”
