What is on record
The Proton Mail catalogue entry carries no price and a freemium pricing model, but no tier breakdown. The category comparison below is still useful, and the Proton Mail review carries the full feature record.
How that compares in Privacy-focused
Too few privacy-focused tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proton Mail (this page) | Free | freemium | - | |
| Brave Browser | Free | freemium | - | vs Proton Mail |
| OneTrust | On request | usage-based | - | vs Proton Mail |
| Tuta | Free | freemium | - | vs Proton Mail |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Proton Mail badges page.
Before you pay for Proton Mail
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Proton Mail runs on not recorded. The full record is on the Proton Mail review, and the rest of the category is under best privacy-focused tools.
