Lifetime plan
I find paying 4 euros per month too expensive.
I would suggest adding the possibility to buy more features like adding more addresses, more filters rules or more GB for life.

Don't agree at all. Should be even more expensive in the Pro. Great service has his price.

I disagree, paying 12 cent a day for secure email and its the benefits is not too expensive.

Yes, I hate and never use "recurrent" online payments - for a couple of filters or something I don't want to have to remember to pay yet another bill monthly or yearly .. 1time for basic stuff!

Hi,
Check your competitors, for example - Tutanota.
Premiun account - 1GB storage + 5 email alias = 1,2 EUR per month.
I am already their Premium user for such conditions. As for me - not everyone needs 5 GB and Custom domain.
Do the same and I will buy your Premium too.Thanks.

Just bought a lifetime discount for 45% for plus if I renew every 2 years. Lets see how that goes.

A 1€ option would be great!
The current free plan has not enough functionality to be worth a donation. I would love to contribute, but 4-5€ is too much for me, and it offers a lot I don't need/want.So, an additional option would be nice containing:
Everything FREE-plan has + 1GB + 50folders/labels + custom filters
To me these are basic email needs that every email provider should offer, and I would be more than willing to pay 1€/month for this. -

as much as a user would like it, it is just not feasible.
1) protonmail provides services, not commodities.
2) it's risky. as a company, protonmail can go to a different direction than you were hoping, and you're stuck with it for life.
3) to be economically feasible, it would have to be in sort of a insurance plan style, paying a premium price over some years. This would not be a popular choice

So 2 years plus should give you lifetime plus? The amounts must be way higher.

That would be a nice option.

What do you consider a good amount?

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I like to keep my number of subscriptions minimal. It's just healthy. Basically. I would pay a good amount to get a lifetime subscription on plus / pro. Thoughts?

I would love to be able to chip in a little a month but i am a student and cannot afford approximatly £40 a year. If there was a cheaper option, i.e £1 a month i would definatly buy it, it could have 1 email adress, 1GB storage, no forced signature and 500 messages a day, as it would put it price to fretures proportinal on the list.

I’ll just repeat what I wrote ten months ago*: 4€/month would be reasonable if that was the whole cost. But the actual cost is a multiple of that... Why? Because a security minded person needs multiple accounts (not just e-mail aliases). Free accounts don’t rectify this obstacle because TOS prohibit multiple free accounts. (Please, correct me if I am wrong.)

Same thought...Personnaly, i'd give 1€/mth per GB of storage.
As a basic user, i don't need 5GB and all these features you get with the PLUS plan. -

mailbox.org is 1€/Month.

Posteo is € 12 annually. I would pay € 24 for Proton.

For me personally is not just about supporting ProtonMail with money but simply having a load of features that I am not using. For example, I would gladly opt-out of custom domains and lower allowed storage (5GB is too much for me as a light user) if that would lower my price plan.
Just to mention - originally I only opted-in for a paid plan as it included ProtonVPN and that was a great deal (~50€ for mail and VPN). As ProtonVPN has been launched (and is now at a quite steep price, compared to other well-regarded VPNs), all the use I am getting out of my payments for ProtonMail Plus is being able to use 2 extra aliases (which I cannot even delete)... If I could opt-out of some premium features I would gladly use the saving for ProtonVPN as I simply can't afford paying for both at the moment. -

Here you can find unlimited Emails with far cheaper rates but then you won't get pgp etc etc on it. You will have to get it working using Thunderbird + enigmail https://www.secureserver.net/email/email-hosting.aspx?ci=1794&prog_id=511472
