Hi everyone,

We launched the Proton family plan over a year ago. Since then, many of you have asked for a more affordable option. Today, we are excited to introduce Proton Duo, our new plan designed to make online privacy more accessible.

You might consider safeguarding online privacy a personal duty, but what about your loved ones? If your partner still depends on Big Tech for their emails, documents, or photos, their sensitive information remains at risk.

For a limited time only, we are offering Proton Duo for $14.99/month with a one-year plan: that’s $60 in annual savings. This is a forever discount, so if you sign up for the promotion, you’ll keep this price forever.

Proton Duo includes:

  • 2 users with separate logins
  • 1 TB of storage to share + 15 GB of bonus storage every year
  • Full access to Proton Mail, Proton Drive, Proton Calendar, Proton Pass, and Proton VPN
  • Everything included in Proton Unlimited ($60 yearly savings compared to two separate subscriptions).

How to get started

  • Sign up for Proton Duo or upgrade your existing plan.
  • If your family member doesn’t already have a Proton account, they can create one for free.
  • Invite your family member to your Proton Duo plan.

Use our Easy Switch tool to move your emails, calendars, and contacts from other providers to Proton in just a few clicks. Whether you’re already using Proton or new to our community, Proton Duo makes it easier than ever to protect what matters most.

At Proton, we’re on a mission to improve everyone’s privacy on the internet. By choosing Proton, you’re taking a stand for privacy—not just for yourself but also for your loved ones.

We’d love to hear your thoughts!

        Money now is worth more than the same amount of money later. There’d rather get paid up front. Plus it locks you in rather than risking you dropping off after a couple of months

        It’s to do with having a consistent income for them. Taking a hit to monthly costs is potentially worth it if you can guarantee the income for a period of time. It’s the same reason why regular savings accounts have higher interests than a standard account.

          It also lowers the number of transaction they have to do, which lowers costs a little.

          As an extra to this people might go with the longer term to lock get the deal then after a period that’s so long one of two things happens.

          1. the service us great and they are used to using it and keep it going
          2. the service isn’t so good and they either renew since they forgot or they cancel and the business got more income that they may not have otherwise got.

        Welcome to literally everything? It’s called volume-based discount. Just like if you buy a box of cookies from the grocery store, you’ll pay a fuckton more than if you buy a pallet of cookies from the exact same company.

            Yes, because the infrastructure that Proton hosts their service on is “infinite”. Everyone knows that Amazon charges the same price to reserve one instance of EC2 as they charge for reserving 10,000.

            What exactly do you think the “cloud” is composed of? Fairy dust? It’s composed of all sorts of finite things - servers, storage, networking, electricity, etc. etc. etc.
