Macfax is free.
One report per Mac, no tiers and no packs. Run it on every machine you list, as many times as you like. There is nothing to buy and no card to enter.
Free is the whole report, not a preview.
Nothing is held back for a paid tier, because there is no paid tier. Every check the app can make on a Mac is on the report it publishes.
- Serial, model, chip, memory and storage, attested against Apple's record
- Activation Lock and MDM enrollment state
- Apple Coverage status and expiry, as Apple reports it
- Chassis and logic-board serial match
- Drive endurance and battery health, as the hardware reports them
- A local-AI benchmark, when the Mac can run one
- A device-binding fingerprint the buyer can re-verify when the Mac arrives
A report nobody runs is worth nothing.
Macfax is only useful to a buyer if the Mac they are looking at has a report, and it is only useful to a seller if buyers have learned to expect one. Charging per report worked against both. Every verified Mac also makes the price and performance data behind the shop better, which is the part we could not buy from anyone else.
How the report is produced →Pricing questions.
Are there different tiers of report?
No. There is one report and it is free. Macfax sold a $49 Premium tier alongside a free one until September 2026; the tier is gone and what it offered, including buyer re-verification on receipt, is on every report now.
What is free about the report?
Everything. No card, no account, no trial. The report covers identity, authenticity, spec match, hardware health and local AI speed, and it produces a publicly shareable URL that buyers can rely on. Run it on every Mac you list.
Is anything held back for a paid version?
No. Every check the app can make on a Mac is on the report it publishes, including the device-binding fingerprint a buyer re-verifies on receipt. There is no paid version to hold anything back for.
Why is it free?
A report is only useful to a buyer if the Mac they are looking at has one, and only useful to a seller once buyers expect one. Charging per report worked against both. Verified Macs also make the price and performance data behind the shop better, which is the part we could not buy from anyone else.
I paid for a Premium report before. What happens to it?
It keeps working and its URL has not changed. It now shows as an ordinary Macfax report, because that is what every report is, and nothing on it was removed.
