Build Your Own Plan (BYOP)
I feel kind of stuck right now with my decision to switch to Proton VPN, but I already pay for Proton Mail and can’t justify Proton Unlimited. I already have the Lifetime plan for Proton Pass, so I don’t want to pay for it again. I don’t really want cloud storage either, because I’d rather have all my files stored locally. I just want to pay for email and VPN, hopefully with a bundle discount that would justify the switch, as $29/year for my current VPN is hard to beat.

Personally I only need unlimited hide-my-email aliases and SMTP support for proton mail. So something like Mail plus + Pass plus, or something even more segmented, would be really helpful.

As a long-time Proton user with a mixed portfolio of subscriptions (Pass + SimpleLogin Lifetime, a standalone Mail plan for calendar features, and Lumo access), I’ve hit a structural limitation: Proton’s bundles force me to pay for services I already own or don’t need.
I’d love to see a “Build Your Own Plan” option where users can:
Select individual premium services (VPN Plus, extra Drive storage, Pass Plus, etc.)
Pay only for what they add, avoiding duplicate coverage from legacy Lifetime deals
Combine these into one unified bill with transparent per-service pricingThis would: ✅ Serve users who migrated gradually or hold legacy plans
✅ Reduce churn from customers forced to buy redundant features
✅ Align with Proton’s privacy-first ethos of user control and flexibilityMany of us are happy to pay fairly for exactly what we use—let’s make that possible.
