have to agree here. i'm a single person with a domain with a use case that results in protonmail being far to expensive for my needs:
i do anti-spam work, and currently have:
1. the ability to have a domain wild card.
2. the ability to have unlimited aliases.
3. the ability to shut off aliases.
what i don't need:
1. lots of space.
2. lots of user accounts.
lets say i'm working on a suspected spammer suspected.com. i go to their site, they ask for my email address. i give them something like suspected@mydomain.com. this is easy and covered by the domain wildcard. no real config necessary. i don't understand why this requires a visionary or professional plan at protonmail.
if i get a spam to suspected@mydomain.com. the first thing i do is create the alias suspected@mydomain.com and email them from that alias to alert them to the fact that they've either sold the email address or had a database breached. it works well, because they're getting an email from theirdomain@mydomain.com and when i tell them the email address was never entered anywhere except their form, they believe me. because of the number of aliases i require at any moment, i'm again pushed to the visionary or professional plans.
at the end of this process when the alias is no longer needed, i delete the alias, then i actually create the account suspected@mydomain.com and then disable it, so all mail to that account bounces. this in particular would put me at the very top of the protonmail pricing model.
the pricing model is difficult for a use case like mine, and i simply can't afford it. i'd be happy to pay the plus price for a single login, but it has to include wildcard domain support and unlimited aliases. (being able to disable an alias is probably a huge ask at this price point, hence not mentioned.)
