An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Kelly, I understand your concerns, but Lumo+ provides access to chat history, large file uploads, unlimited favourite chats etc.
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Christian, this wouldn't be twice the amount of work - Lumo+ subscribers already get the more powerful models, this would just mean offering a "taste". Also their models are not in-house - they use Mistral.

Dear Proton Community and Development Team,
We propose the introduction of fully customizable Proton plans that allow users to select and pay for the exact amount of storage and specific features they need. This model would shift from rigid, pre-defined tiers to a flexible, user-centric system, thereby accommodating a wider range of user needs and use cases and strengthening Proton's commitment to user autonomy and transparency.
Our proposal is as follows:
* Modular Plan Building:
* Customizable Storage: Users can choose their desired storage capacity I using a slider. The pricing would be based directly on the chosen amount, offering a clear and scalable cost model.
* À la Carte Features: A user's plan would start with a base level of essential features. They could then add specific advanced features as needed, paying a small premium for each. These add-ons could include but are not limited to:
* Advanced file version history (e.g., extending beyond 30 days).
* NetShield.
* Unlimited Lumo chat history.
* Increased file link bandwidth or view limits.
* Enhanced sharing controls (e.g., password-protected links, expiration dates).
* Desktop sync capabilities for multiple devices.
* Priority support and direct access to a support team.
* Proton Business/Professional Tier:
* This tier would remain for organizations, offering a comprehensive, unlimited package for all features and a large shared storage pool, designed for seamless collaboration and administration. It would still offer customizable storage and feature add-ons but at a bulk rate.
Justification and Benefits:
* Increased Flexibility & Perceived Value: Users only pay for what they use and need, making the service more attractive to both light and heavy users. A small business might need a lot of storage but only basic features, while a creative professional might need less storage but advanced sharing controls. This allows Proton to fit a broader range of use cases without forcing users into mismatched plans.
* Broader Market Reach: This model appeals to a new segment of users who find current tiers either too restrictive (Free) or too feature-rich/expensive (Plus/Unlimited). It provides a "fit-for-purpose" solution that is more likely to convert hesitant users.
* Clearer Pricing Model: The pricing is transparent and directly tied to the value of each component (storage and features), making it easier for users to understand what they are paying for. This builds trust and reinforces Proton's commitment to transparency.
* Strengthened Ecosystem: This proposed model showcases Proton's ability to offer its services as a modular ecosystem, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, providing a strong foundation for future product integrations.
We believe this proposed customizable plan structure would greatly enhance the Proton user experience, make the service more accessible and appealing to a wider audience, and strengthen Proton's position as a leader in privacy-focused solutions.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
