I moved over to Proton from Google because I liked the idea of having an alias for each service. After two months and a Mail Plus trial, I now pay for Proton Unlimited. I use Mail (due to alias linking), Calendar, and Pass often. I don't really use VPN that much (although it is useful sometimes), and Drive is just too slow. I didn't have any issues with Google, and I liked using Gmail and Calendar. Proton also doesn't have watch apps, so I have to add my calendars through iCal to Google Calendar for my watch. It feels to me like I'm just overpaying now. Should I move back to Google for mail and calendar? I'm probably going to keep Pass (it seems just a bit too expensive compared to Bitwarden, though).
I was looking at Proton plans, and I noticed that the Proton Pass Plus plan costs almost double on the 24-month plan compared to the 12-month one.
1 month: USD$4.99
12 months: USD$1.99
24 months: USD$2.99
The Pass Plus plan is the only one that gets more expensive at 24 months. Why is that?
You don’t need to use a google account at all, you can just use any IMAP account through Easy Switch in the settings. (It even works with empty email accounts for some reason too)
I’m in somewhat of the same situation. I would happily pay for just Mail and Pass, but I am required to pay Unlimited pricing.
