Proton Unlimited – A growing gap in the ecosystem?
Might I suggest a closer alignment between Proton Meet and Proton Unlimited?
While one appreciates the realities of resource constraints, the current approach—where an already top-tier plan effectively becomes “upgradeable” (as seen with Meet and Lumo)—undermines the original concept of Unlimited. It begins to feel less like a complete offering and more like a base layer for subsequent add-ons.
If this direction is necessary, a clearer restructuring would be preferable: either introduce a new, higher-tier plan, or reconsider the scope and pricing of the existing ones. As it stands, what was once the definitive individual tier now feels somewhat diluted.
As a result, I find myself defaulting to Signal and Google (with local encryption) for everyday use, and reconsidering the long-term value of the subscription.

Unlimited plans seem less and less "unlimited" with all the additional product and price segmentation Proton has introduced. The fact that Unlimited subscribers get no additional Proton Meet usage beyond what free plans get is a little insulting to those of us who have supported Proton by paying for a subscription that says "Unlimited" on the tin.
