# Proton Mail Proton Mail is a email & marketing product operated by Proton AG. This 2026 review covers operator background, the current tier ladder and the buying signals to weigh before subscribing.

Proton Mail is a SaaS product that delivers its core workflow through a web app with per-seat billing and enterprise upgrades. Its product surface covers web app for the operator's core workflow alongside API and integrations with common business tools, with the recurring subscription paid through the operator's direct billing or App Store / Google Play / partner-billing surfaces. Customers buy a tier matching their usage profile; the entry tier is suitable for testing the product and higher tiers add features such as mobile companion app. ## Why choose Proton Mail ### Operator and ecosystem context Proton Mail is run by Proton AG out of Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Switzerland, established 2014 (Proton Mail launched at CERN). That matters because the email & marketing category is increasingly consolidated and the operator's ownership structure (public vs. private, parent group, regulatory footprint) shapes how aggressively the product is supported and how stable the subscription terms are over multi-year renewals. ### Plan structure and pricing tiers The tier ladder splits across Free for testing the service, Mail Plus for everyday use, and Proton Unlimited for power users or households. Anchor pricing for 2026: Mail Plus USD 4.99/month; Proton Unlimited USD 9.99/month; Family USD 23.99/month.

That gives the subscription a credible roadmap for the year ahead and distinguishes it from operators that are running their email & marketing catalog on autopilot. ## Proton Mail features that matter in 2026 Highlights of the current feature set: - web app for the operator's core workflow - API and integrations with common business tools - mobile companion app - team or workspace seats with role-based access - audit log and admin controls on higher tiers - standard support channels (email, in-app chat) Buyers should treat this list as a baseline for Proton Mail in the email & marketing category — confirm specific feature availability for your region on the operator's site, since some features and tier names vary between countries. ## Proton Mail pricing in 2026 Reference pricing for Proton Mail in 2026: Mail Plus USD 4.99/month; Proton Unlimited USD 9.99/month; Family USD 23.99/month.

Proton VPN

# Proton VPN review and pricing in 2026 Proton VPN is Swiss-based privacy-first VPN from Proton with a free unlimited-data tier, published independent audits and NetShield ad/tracker blocker. The product is operated by Proton AG (Swiss; controlled by the Proton Foundation since 2024), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and the public homepage is at [https://protonvpn.com](https://protonvpn.com). The operator was founded in 2017 (Proton VPN; Proton Mail 2014) and is Privately held (Proton Foundation, Swiss non-profit). This review captures what Subger currently tracks about Proton VPN — its plan ladder, named features, 2025-2026 product direction and competitive positioning in the vpn services category. Subger does not control Proton VPN or its pricing; live numbers and the canonical sign-up flow remain on the vendor site. ## Operator, ownership and market footprint | Attribute | Detail | | --- | --- | | Operator | Proton AG (Swiss; controlled by the Proton Foundation since 2024) | | Headquarters | Geneva, Switzerland | | Founded | 2017 (Proton VPN; Proton Mail 2014) | | Listing | Privately held (Proton Foundation, Swiss non-profit) | | Public homepage | https://protonvpn.com | | Category on Subger | [Vpn Services](/en/us/category/vpn-services) | Proton VPN is positioned in Privacy-first consumer VPN, competing with Mullvad VPN, IVPN, Mozilla VPN, ExpressVPN and ProtonVPN-adjacent privacy-leaning VPNs. ### Why the operator matters The ownership trail above is the single most important fact for anyone evaluating a subscription: it determines who keeps customer data, who arbitrates billing disputes and which national regulator supervises the product. For Proton VPN that anchor is Proton AG (Swiss; controlled by the Proton Foundation since 2024), which materially shapes the product roadmap and the legal terms a subscriber accepts at checkout. ### Where the product is sold The product is primarily sold through https://protonvpn.com with regional billing in the operator's home market. Cross-border availability varies; this Subger review reflects the catalog as published on the vendor homepage at the time of writing. ## Plans and pricing ladder | Tier / SKU | Headline price | What it unlocks | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | Unlimited data, 3 free-server countries (US/NL/JP). | | VPN Plus | USD 9.99/mo or USD 4.99/mo annual (~USD 59.88/yr) | 85+ countries, Secure Core, NetShield, port forwarding. | | Proton Unlimited | USD 12.99/mo or USD 9.99/mo annual | Bundles VPN, Mail, Drive, Pass, Calendar. | | Business / Visionary | USD 6.99-12.99/user/mo | Team SSO and admin controls. | Pricing above is captured from the vendor catalog and from publicly disclosed annual reports where applicable. Subger's price-history table for Proton VPN records currency-converted USD anchors on top of the operator's native-currency list price. ### Reading the ladder Proton VPN's tier ladder is the practical lens through which most subscribers shop. Choose the lowest tier that covers your usage, then upgrade only when you hit a real cap (mileage, seat count, retention window, feature gating). Annual prepay is consistently 15-25% cheaper than month-to-month across the catalog, so anyone confident they'll use the service for 6+ months should default to annual. ### Currency and tax notes Local taxes (VAT in EU markets, GST in AU/IN, sales tax in US states) are usually added at checkout on top of the headline price quoted above. Currency conversion to USD in this review uses approximate mid-market rates as of 2025-2026 and is for orientation only — your final invoice will read in the operator's billing currency. ## Named features (what you actually get) | # | Feature | | --- | --- | | 1 | Free unlimited-data tier | | 2 | Secure Core (2-hop routing) | | 3 | NetShield ad/tracker/malware blocker | | 4 | Stealth obfuscation protocol | | 5 | Open-source apps (audited by Securitum) | | 6 | No-logs policy (annually audited) | | 7 | Tor over VPN | Subger surfaces these features verbatim from Proton VPN's catalog where the vendor publishes them; long-tail features (per-region add-ons, partner discounts) are not exhaustively enumerated in this short review. ### Standout features in context Among the named features above, the ones that most clearly differentiate Proton VPN from same-category peers are the operator-specific capabilities tied to the parent company, the integrations exposed to the rest of the vpn services stack, and the loyalty / multi-product bundling that consolidates billing across products. ### What's not included The table above is intentionally feature-centric, not exhaustive. Geography-specific add-ons, partner discounts and limited-time promotions are documented on the operator's homepage and may differ from the snapshot captured here. ## Security audits and transparency Privacy-sensitive subscriptions live or die on the quality of their public-audit trail. For Proton VPN the audit signal includes the operator's transparency reports, any independent code audits or no-logs attestations published by the vendor, and the regulatory regime imposed by the operator's home jurisdiction (Geneva, Switzerland). Subscribers comparing privacy products should weigh the operator's published audit cadence against same-category peers before paying. ### Independent third-party signal Where independent audits, watchdog reports or regulator filings exist, Subger links them from the per-service detail page rather than summarising them here. The operator's published transparency disclosures should always be read alongside the most recent independent third-party signal. ## 2025-2026 product direction In 2024-2025 Proton AG transferred majority control to the Proton Foundation (Swiss non-profit) for long-term mission alignment; Proton VPN continued annual independent no-logs audits and rolled out Stealth protocol and post-quantum experimental ciphers. ### What's likely next Based on the operator's recent moves, the most likely 12-month roadmap items for Proton VPN are tighter integration with the parent company's other products, expansion into adjacent markets where the operator already has distribution, and price-point experimentation at the entry tier to defend against new low-cost entrants in the category. ## Competitive positioning Privacy-first consumer VPN, competing with Mullvad VPN, IVPN, Mozilla VPN, ExpressVPN and ProtonVPN-adjacent privacy-leaning VPNs. ### Who Proton VPN is for Proton VPN is best-fit for subscribers who already trust the operator's umbrella brand, value the specific feature set listed above and accept the trade-offs implied by the operator's home regulatory regime (Geneva, Switzerland). Subscribers who optimise heavily for price or who want a single global flat-rate may find better-value alternatives in the competitor list above. ### Who should look elsewhere If you live outside the home market where the operator concentrates distribution, or if the local regulatory regime (data residency, financial protection, content licensing) is a hard constraint, the same-category competitors named above will usually serve you better. ## Sign-up, billing and cancellation Sign-up happens on [https://protonvpn.com](https://protonvpn.com) using the standard email-plus-payment-method flow. Card billing is the default; some markets accept SEPA Direct Debit, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or local-rail alternatives. Cancellation is typically a one-click flow from the in-app account settings, with the subscription remaining active until the end of the current billing period. ### Refund policy Refund policies vary by jurisdiction. In the European Union the consumer right-of-withdrawal applies to most digital subscriptions (14-day cooling-off) unless explicit waiver is given at checkout. In the United States policy is operator-defined; check the Proton VPN terms of service before paying. ## Frequently asked questions ### Who owns and operates Proton VPN? Proton VPN is operated by Proton AG (Swiss; controlled by the Proton Foundation since 2024), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. ### When was Proton VPN founded? The product traces to 2017 (Proton VPN; Proton Mail 2014); operator history may extend earlier. ### Is the operator publicly listed? Privately held (Proton Foundation, Swiss non-profit). ### Where does Proton VPN publish live pricing? The canonical source for live tier pricing is the operator homepage at [https://protonvpn.com](https://protonvpn.com). ### Is there a free tier or trial? The plan table above lists the operator-published tier ladder; free trials and entry-tier promotions are typically announced on the Proton VPN homepage. ### How does Proton VPN compare to direct competitors? Privacy-first consumer VPN, competing with Mullvad VPN, IVPN, Mozilla VPN, ExpressVPN and ProtonVPN-adjacent privacy-leaning VPNs. ### What 2025-2026 changes should I know about? In 2024-2025 Proton AG transferred majority control to the Proton Foundation (Swiss non-profit) for long-term mission alignment; Proton VPN continued annual independent no-logs audits and rolled out Stealth protocol and post-quantum experimental ciphers. ### How is Proton VPN categorised on Subger? We list Proton VPN under [Vpn Services](/en/us/category/vpn-services) alongside same-category peers. ### Can I cancel Proton VPN at any time? Yes — the in-app account settings expose a cancellation flow that stops auto-renewal at the end of the current period. Refunds for already-billed periods follow the operator's regional refund policy. ### Where can I track Proton VPN's historical pricing? Subger maintains a price-history view on the per-service detail page, with currency-converted USD anchors that allow cross-region comparison. ## Related categories on Subger - [Vpn Services](/en/us/category/vpn-services) — the primary catalog for Proton VPN - [VPN services](/en/us/category/insurance) - [Streaming](/en/us/category/banking-payments) - [AI assistants](/en/us/category/video-streaming) - [Smart-home devices](/en/us/category/news-subscriptions) ## Bottom line For subscribers who want a vpn services product tied to Proton AG (Swiss; controlled by the Proton Foundation since 2024), Proton VPN is the canonical pick — its pricing ladder, named feature set and 2025-2026 product direction (above) make it a defensible default in its category.

Proton VPN

# Proton VPN Proton VPN is a vpn services product operated by Proton AG. This 2026 review covers operator background, the current tier ladder and the buying signals to weigh before subscribing. The service competes in the vpn services category against regional and global alternatives, and the practical decision usually comes down to feature mix, regional availability and renewal economics rather than headline price alone. ## Quick facts - **Operator:** Proton AG - **Headquarters:** Plan-les-Ouates (Geneva), Switzerland - **Public-market status:** non-profit foundation structure since 2024 (Proton Foundation) - **Founded:** 2017 (Proton AG founded 2014) - **Category:** vpn services - **Current tiers:** Free / Proton VPN Plus / Proton Unlimited - **Anchor price (2026):** VPN Plus USD 9.99/month, USD 4.99/month annual; Proton Unlimited USD 9.99/month annual ## What is Proton VPN? Proton VPN is a consumer VPN product that routes traffic through encrypted tunnels for privacy and geo-flexibility. Its product surface covers servers across dozens of countries alongside WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols, with the recurring subscription paid through the operator's direct billing or App Store / Google Play / partner-billing surfaces. Customers buy a tier matching their usage profile; the entry tier is suitable for testing the product and higher tiers add features such as kill switch and DNS leak protection. ## Why choose Proton VPN ### Operator and ecosystem context Proton VPN is run by Proton AG out of Plan-les-Ouates (Geneva), Switzerland, established 2017 (Proton AG founded 2014). That matters because the vpn services category is increasingly consolidated and the operator's ownership structure (public vs. private, parent group, regulatory footprint) shapes how aggressively the product is supported and how stable the subscription terms are over multi-year renewals. ### Plan structure and pricing tiers The tier ladder splits across Free for testing the service, Proton VPN Plus for everyday use, and Proton Unlimited for power users or teams.

That gives the subscription a credible roadmap for the year ahead and distinguishes it from operators that are running their vpn services catalog on autopilot. ## Security audits and transparency For privacy-sensitive products, the credible signals are third-party audits and transparency reporting.
