Overview
What Proton Mail does
An end to end encrypted email service that is part of the wider Proton privacy suite.
The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Proton Mail.
- Free plan is limited to 1GB storage and a single email address
- Custom email domain support starts at only 1 domain on Mail Plus; 3 custom domains require the higher Proton Unlimited plan
- VPN, password manager and cloud storage are excluded from the Mail Plus plan and only bundled in with Proton Unlimited

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Proton Mail, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
