Title; Seems like they are giving out a free 1-year plan, as long as you claim the offer before October 31st.

Seems to be legit, as it’s coming from their own website. I am currently using their offered plans too, and it works.

    As a Mail Plus subscriber, this makes me angry because I have no way to even buy Proton Pass without paying for the full Unlimited Plan (which I don’t need).

      Probably my biggest complaint with Proton is how little they focus on their paying subscribers that bought in for the products that existed at the time. They’ve brought out 3 more apps before making the first 2 really great.

        As someone who has used it from near the start, I’m perfectly fine with how they’ve treated me.

        Gave me more storage on anniversaries, locked in discounts, keep improving solid products, etc.

        They could certainly focus more on Linux products but overall I’m quite happy as is even. Mail UI vastly improved, calendar works though I use it little, etc. Jmho

        @Scrollone @stifle867 it doesn’t seem very professional or well run. Reminds me a little of Mozilla. Both focus on many thinks and do an average (to bad) job rather than doing fewer things with a focus on excellence.

          Exactly. It does feel like they’re losing their focus. It’s especially noticeable when it comes to feature parity across devices and basic things that never get fixed.

          I understand they probably have “different teams” working on the different products which a lot of companies use as a cover to say that the resources spent on the new projects don’t “take away” from the old ones. We can see how that has turned out in the video game industry where they can pump out microtransactions on a broken game.

          IMO, my biggest concern is sustainability for Proton.

          Focusing on cool, new products over current products is probably going to be unsustainable in the long run. If it isn’t economically sustainable, I fear they might give up on privacy-related features just to make some cash. (Just like Mozilla and Google)

          Or worse, they might be forced to shut down some services, which is completely backwards and undesirable…
