Notifyre has simple, yet comprehensive Fax API documentation (Sample code in .NET, Node.js, php and cUrl.), flexible payment options to manage fax costs, and fax API migration support with live chat, phone and email support. Notifyre’s has supported thousands of developers with connecting fax into existing business and rated the best alternative to the Twilio fax API.

Why Twilio Shut Down Its Fax API
Twilio announced the deprecation of its Fax API in 2021 and fully shut it down by the end of that year. While the service allowed developers to use the Twilio fax service, it lacked the long-term support, updates, and compliance requirements many industries demanded. As usage declined, Twilio shifted focus to other communication products and officially ended support for its fax service.
This left businesses searching for alternative online fax providers, particularly those in healthcare, legal, and logistics sectors that rely on secure and compliant document transmission.
