Proton Unlimited Lite – for everyday users
Many people are growing wary of U.S. tech giants, yet Proton is still seen as a niche solution for power users. Most of us only need a reliable email address, a modest amount of cloud storage for document backups, and strong password protection with 2FA.
I propose a Proton Unlimited Lite plan that bundles exactly those essentials:
• Proton Mail (basic inbox)
• 20–30 GB of Proton Drive for secure document backup
• Proton Pass for password management (including 2FA)
• Optional family add‑on so households can share the same subscription
The current “Mail Pro” tier feels over‑engineered—too many email aliases and unnecessary features—while the full “Unlimited” suite advertises everything (500 GB, 10 VPN connections, crypto wallet, calendar, etc.) that most regular users will never use. By offering a streamlined “Lite” package, Proton could attract a broader audience that wants privacy without paying for features they don’t need. This would make Proton a truly viable mainstream alternative to the big U.S. providers.
