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 haven’t paid for proton yet but am considering it, and the VPN is the big selling factor currently. I’d use the email, drive, and VPN. Bitwarden or KeePass are good free password managers. Other VPNs have comparable pricing to Proton’s whole one-person suite, so I figure it’s more bang for the buck.

if you factor in the pricing of just a competitors VPN then Proton beats them hands down.
Using their unlimited bundle and the password manager works very well.
