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!

    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.

      Ah, yes. Comparing a digital asset that is infinite, to a product that is physical and finite.

      Try harder.

        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.

          Do you really think I’m fucking stupid?

          So, you just said that they charge for ONE instance, the same amount they charge for 10,000. How is it they can charge the same amount without applying your little bulk buy analogy???

          So, why does the same not apply to Proton? Proton can charge the lower amount, as they should, and win by acquiring more subscriptions and more consistent revenue because more people will find it worth the fucking price.

          Try harder.
