Take Advantage of Bitwarden Increasing Prices to Provide a Pass Plus Combo
I'm a Proton Mail Plus user. I currently use Bitwarden Premium as my password manager. I recently got an email from Bitwarden informing me that they are going to double their price. My subscription there renews in March, so I thought this would be the best time to switch to Proton Pass. However, the features I need are only available on the Pass Plus plan.
What did I try? To subscribe to Pass Plus in addition to my current Mail Plus plan. But it isn't allowed! It's either one Plus subscription OR the Unlimited plan.
The Unlimited plan would be more expensive for me than continuing with Mail Plus + and Bitwarden Premium, even at their increased price. Especially because, for the first year, they'll charge current Bitwarden users a "mere" 50% more (advertised as a "25% discount" over the higher price). That being the case, you are definitely going to miss the opportunity to bring me into a higher-paying grade.
My suggestion then, which I know is repeating aspects of other suggestions here but it is worth it for the specific opportunity, is for Proton to capture a good chunk of Bitwarden Premium users who are, like me, unhappy with their 50% to 100% price increase, by allowing combining specifically Mail Plus with Pass Plus, the Pass Plus part being promotionally less than Bitwarden's increased price when combined this way.
I cannot say for sure, but such a plan would put me much closer to the threshold for Unlimited, and I might upgrade to that in a year or two as I get more used to Proton's ecosystem. Right now, however, Unlimited is definitely beyond my budget.
Hope you decide to do this, and ideally before I'm forced to renew my Bitwarden Premium subscription!

Honestly I understand your questions.
I think the solution isn't a separate pass subscription but a 'choose the services you want' subscription. So being able to add and remove services from your subscription. 'custom or personalized subscriptions'. Which is already suggested before.
