I’ve been using Tutanota for a while now. Been interested in people’s opinions about Tutanota and Protonmail.
I went with ProtonMail because it is based in a non-five eyes country… Plus it was launched by CERN scientists - major geek coolness factor. Recently upgraded to the basic paid tier.
Being launched by CERN scientists shouldn’t be a deciding factor.
But yes, Proton is as safe as it gets.
Proton have better UX/UI for web and mobile, that was sole reason went from tuta to proton. Both are great tho, but free are very limited on them. + they are smaller company, and some support I’m privacy industry would be great Basic paid plan on Tuta is great ($12/year). If you just need an email go for tuta.
The premium plan is no longer available. It’s $36/year now
I’ve been using ProtonMail and ProtonVPN for a few years and like both. From a privacy and security perspective, they’re an excellent option. They even make it easy to configure some security mechanisms that are either not yet widely adopted (DANE, MTA-STS, etc) or just excessive for the average user (PGP encryption).
Their interface has also improved tremendously in the last year or so, which previously was my only real complaint.
I like it, been a paid user for 4ish years now. The only complaint is that the way they develop/release/update their products is all over the place. Everything is soon™, they release entirely new products (Proton Pass) while their existing ones lack extremely basic features, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to whatever roadmap they’re working off of. The long term goal is clearly to make an everything ecosystem, but I’m not sure I want all my eggs in one company’s basket, even if it is Proton.
The important thing is their privacy/security, which I fully trust, more than any other provider. But boy howdy am I still waiting on some real basic features in some of their apps.
happily using proton since 2017. i endorse their work so much that i upgraded to a basic paid plan way back, and then when they changed the subscription tier system, i was automatically grandfathered into the most premium personal plan (simplelogin, 10 simultaneous vpn connections, etc) while keeping my original subscription price :)
i’m so happy to see them continue to flourish and support noble causes like anti-censorship under oppressive regimes and free tools for activists fighting for their lives.
