I moved over to Proton from Google because I liked the idea of having an alias for each service. After two months and a Mail Plus trial, I now pay for Proton Unlimited. I use Mail (due to alias linking), Calendar, and Pass often. I don’t really use VPN that much (although it is useful sometimes), and Drive is just too slow. I didn’t have any issues with Google, and I liked using Gmail and Calendar. Proton also doesn’t have watch apps, so I have to add my calendars through iCal to Google Calendar for my watch. It feels to me like I’m just overpaying now. Should I move back to Google for mail and calendar? I’m probably going to keep Pass (it seems just a bit too expensive compared to Bitwarden, though).
I’ve been using unlimited for the past 4-5 months and questioning the same. the email is ok, but I can’t commit to switching 20 years of stuff over. the pass is pretty bad at autofill and making new passwords unless I’m just missing something. the vpn works, but I don’t really need it. I want to like and use the service but it’s all just eh.
I’m in somewhat of the same situation. I would happily pay for just Mail and Pass, but I am required to pay Unlimited pricing.
