Pay per GB
Pay for EXACTLY the storage that you used in a month, instead of having to bump plans with *** GB increments - and serious price increases.
Proton uses limits to extract maximum consumer surplus and force new plans on people, when all they want is just more storage. This is just like commercial companies, and leaves a bad taste.
The better approach is to align consumer value and producer cost : pay for what you use, with a standard cost-plus premium. It's not how you make the most money, agreed - but it is how you build a loyal user…

Create your own plan. Select your services
Why not be able to create a selected plan like those who really want unlimited but have no need for the wallet?; or the calendar many average users have no need for a calendar. Lots of people do not use crypto or even know how to use crypto it would make the primary services more available and in turn give you more subscriptions???

There could be more cryptocurrency options
Users can already pay by Bitcoin. However Bitcoin isn't the most private nor cheapest cryptocurrency to use. I suggest Proton paid plans could be paid with other cryptocurrencies such as Monero, Litecoin, Etherium and Bitcoin Cash.

Choose which identity to keep when downgrading
Please add the feature to allow paid users to decide which identity they get to keep if they return to the free plan.
I signed up with a protonmail.ch address but found myself mostly giving people my protonmail.com address. I want to go back to a free plan now but not being able to change my primary identity to the .com address is a problem.

Add security questions
You can add security questions on resetting password - after clicking link sent to recovery email, before you can enter new password, you should answer two (or three) security questions.
This will be additional security for resetting password.
88 votesAt this point, security questions have been shown to not be an effective way to validate a users identity. At this time the recovery email address is our sole means of identifying users ownership of an account.

Unlimited accounts for catch-all email addresses
I am a premium paying member of proton mail who uses a catch-all email domain.
I use many prefixes such as:
moving@address.com
apartment@address.com
work@address.com
personal@address.com
name@address.com
etc.In order to send email from these addresses, I must have accounts for them. This is very annoying as I have to repeatedly create and delete these accounts in order to stay under the 15 account limit.
On my own domain, I should have unlimited addresses.
This would very helpful and would solve one of my biggest annoyances with proton.

Appropriate fees should be determined specifically for countries with high inflation.
In countries with high inflation, paying with Dollars or Euros costs too much compared to the currency of that country. For such countries, special low fees must be determined and payment must be made in the local currency.

Be able to merge Individual Proton account into one Duo or a Family plan.
I have Proton Unlimited and love it. Wife finally wants to migrate from Gmail(SpyMail) but she doesn't use all the other google nor proton products. If we both have individual accounts; can the two proton accounts be merged under one Proton account in the future like a Duo or a Family plan when our kids are old enough?

Purchase multiple plans under 1 account
I currently have a Proton Business plan with x users. However, not all users require all the features that come with Proton business, and I would like to purchase a Mail Essentials plan. I cannot do this for some reason.
I would like the ability to purchase different tiers of plans under the same account.

More free filters
Add more free filters like at least 3 because free accounts only have 1 available filter and paid accounts have unlimited. I've also seen similar posts on here from 2016 of this issue and free accounts still only have 1 filter.

Credits offers
When doing offers to capt new members (like 90% discounts first year or so) on Black Friday for example, why not do credit offers for the current members, like X% credit offer discounts?
That would be a kind move by Proton that would make feel the already enroled community feel better when you are doing all those great offers only for new members or to upgrade.
Sincerely, I feel myself ignored when you are doing those offers for new members while here its me paying the same price year after year...65 votes -

SMS 2FA
I understand this wouldn't be the choice for the most privacy-seeking users, but when one doesn't own a smartphone, the good old code sent through SMS for 2FA would be a great feature!

Monthly payments for yearly plans
Spending close to €200 for a 2 year unlimited plan in one payment right now is difficult for many people, and I believe you would get much more uptake if you allowed purchase using a monthly installment method.
I, for one, was about to buy your Proton Unlimited package until I discovered that I'd have to spend almost €200 in one go to get it.
Offering a monthly payment subscription option is a sound business model in these times of financial strain, so please can I ask that you at least consider the idea?
Thank you!

Student discounts shouldn't only last one year
Many other subsciption services like Spotify for example have at least opted for 4 years max, which would make way more sense since that is a realistic duration of studying. Affording your own privacy shouldn't be a privilege which you have to get into financial trouble for as a student.

Adjust prices for 3rd-world economies
Direct conversions from USD are ridiculously expensive.
Your discounted 1st year plan costs more than most graduates earn in a month.

Add Recovery Phrase Verification Tool (Without Resetting 2FA)
Description
Currently, ProtonMail users cannot verify whether their stored recovery phrase is correct without initiating an actual 2FA reset process. This creates uncertainty about whether users have properly saved their recovery credentials and could lead to account lockouts if the saved phrase is incorrect.
Feature Request:
Implement a dedicated "Verify Recovery Phrase" option in the security settings that allows users to:
- Input their recovery phrase to confirm it matches the one on file
- Receive immediate confirmation of whether the phrase is correct
- Do this without triggering any actual account recovery or 2FA resetBenefits:
