Expand Lifetime Plan Options for Long-Term Proton Supporters
As a supporter of Proton's mission, I would like to suggest making Lifetime plans more accessible and flexible for a wider range of users.
- Revisit Lifetime plan pricing
While the current $199 Lifetime discount is appreciated, the overall cost remains quite high for many international users. With the US dollar continuing to strengthen against several currencies, the effective cost has become even higher over time. Regional pricing or additional discounts could make Lifetime plans more attainable for users around the world.
- Introduce a Proton Family Lifetime plan
Many users have successfully adopted Proton across their entire household. A Lifetime Family option would provide an attractive alternative to recurring subscriptions and allow families to make a long-term commitment to the Proton ecosystem through a one-time purchase.
Why this could benefit both users and Proton
There is proven demand for lifetime licensing in the privacy and productivity space. For example:
- Enpass offers a Lifetime plan for approximately ₹10,000.
- pCloud offers Lifetime plans starting at around ₹14,000 depending on the storage tier.
These products show that many users are willing to make a larger upfront investment in exchange for long-term value and freedom from recurring payments.
Expanding Proton's Lifetime offerings could help attract new users, strengthen customer loyalty, and generate upfront revenue while remaining aligned with Proton's mission of building sustainable privacy-focused services.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
