Low End Faxing?

Just wondering if anyone has experience with online faxing. I need to send an occasional fax from home for work and I don't really want to pay for a landline and fax machine. My top priority is making sure it's reliable and preferably cheap. Faxes will all be sent within the US.

plenty of online fax services, email to fax like http://myfax.com/free/
I think this is one of the cheapest monthly: https://www.onesuite.com/internet-fax/plus-features
but if you want a cheaper option, but requires scripting, there is always https://www.phaxio.com/
Fax Burner
Usually I use Pamfax.biz
InterFAX has good api I use it alot but it feels like I am missing cheaper alternatives
Asterisk Fax Module + VoIP line?
I've previously used https://hellofax.com/ and have never had a reliability issue. I just wish they had a smaller plan than $10 a month.
How frequently is "occasional"? For me, this is every few months, to the point where I'll just pay a dollar at my local UPS Store/Fedex Office/Walgreens/post office/hotel/grocery store service counter/pharmacy/etc to have them send it for me. Might be something to consider instead of paying for a service that's unused for months, if you have such service near you.
I think LET should acceot provider tag applications only by fax.
If you're sending/receiving an occasional fax and are on good terms with your local bank or a teller working there, talk to them. I had an online car insurance fax me my new policy and card to my bank.
Thanks for all the replies. Fax Burner looks pretty nice, but I normally don't need to send more than 10 faxes per month, so spending $10 seems overkill. During normal business hours, I am able to send them at work if needed, so using a bank would not be a viable alternative either.
I may just rotate between some of the free ones for now. If that doesn't work out, I'll probably go with the smallest PamFax credit pack.
