Right now, you can take control of your digital life for just $1. Whether you're sending a secure message or some important files, Proton is offering a limited-time deal where you can get a month of premium service for less than the price your coffee. You can also opt for the 12-month Proton Mail Plus plan and save 40% off. That puts you at $3 per month, instead of the usual $5.
When you upgrade to Proton Mail Plus, you get a lot more room to breathe. You'll have 15 GB of total storage, shared with Proton Drive. You can use up to 10 email addresses and can even set up your professional custom domain. You also get an easy switch tool to move everything over from Gmail or Outlook in just a few clicks.
On the technical side, all your emails are end-to-end encrypted, which means not even Proton can read them. It also comes with a bunch of additional tools and features, including a built-in calendar to track your schedule privately and PhishGuard to block trackers and marketers from spying on you. If you ever run into trouble, you also get priority customer support to help you get back on track.
Moe Long, CNET's senior editor and software expert, is a big fan of Proton Mail's approach to privacy. "It's nice to see the iOS and Android apps get an overhaul, which might make it an even more attractive option for folks seeking to migrate away from the likes of Gmail and Yahoo Mail for a more privacy-centric solution," Long said.
