I believe the request could be rephrased better, as most commenters aren't looking for a cheaper multi-user plan, but a family plan. The website recommends Visionary, which seems to be a great option for enthusiastic supporters and power users, but for a typical 2-3 member household ends up being more expensive than the business-oriented Professional.
It's also interesting timing: Google Workspace just abandoned G Suite legacy subscription (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/01/google-tells-free-g-suite-users-pay-up-or-lose-your-account/) used by many families. Customers will have to choose between Business Starter ($6+tax per user) and alternatives with a better privacy record. Paying $20-30 for Visionary with its bundle of unneeded features (VPN, more users, storage, domains, addresses, folders and labels than your family is likely to ever need) is too much of a jump. Professional is a better fit at $5-8 per user, but it is still significantly more expensive than Tutanota Premium for €1-5. A more flexible option or even a one-off promotion could tip the scales in favour of ProtonMail.
One thing to emphasize: please don't see this request as 'whining to get a top-notch service without paying' to paraphrase a previous commenter. ProtonMail is fantastic, paying for high-quality privacy software makes absolute sense and your pricing options are generally quite reasonable. A more flexible family plan however would still help some of us to commit to ProtonMail.
