Adopt a sliding scale approach to pricing and a more flexible customizable plan building option
More flexible "choose your own adventure" style plan building. all options are given a value and you can construct a plan tailored to your needs.
example: i could have a family plan for email for 3 people with minimal features except for privacy and i could have the flexibility to pay small additional fee to upgrade storage for all accounts. or even just the option to add more storage with the free drive account for a small monthly fee would be better.
[my opinion: Ideally adding discounted plans for community groups/activists and a focus on a discount for low income families/individuals, focusing on those that feel unsafe in their current circumstances. particularly for people of colour/indigenous/queer/trans folks. Especially those in countries seeing a spike in fascist rhetoric in the mainstream... possibly via a sliding scale function?

I like Proton a lot - the organisation, its mission and products and I really want to support it as a customer. I also understand that Proton is an NFP and the need to nonetheless generate income. However I find its subscription plans costly (when compared to other offerings), inflexible and bordering on coercive at times (i.e., the step up in what you need to pay in order to get the single product you need). I'm happy to pay the money, especially as I know the mission it is enabling. All I'd ask is for a little flexibility - I'd like to be able to buy extra storage (and nothing else) if I need it. I'd like to be able to buy the better VPN or an extra email domain to add to my Proton email set up - just by itself without having to pay for a bunch of other products or features I don't need.

Flexible pricing and customizable building plans give clients more control over their construction projects. With adaptable options, owners can choose designs and materials that fit their budget and specific needs. A professional building construction estimator plays a vital role by providing accurate cost breakdowns for each customized option. https://beckestimating.com/
