I recently tested Proton Pass and really liked it. I immediately got the limited offer for 12€ per year. Then I thought about it for a while and wanted to get Mail Plus as well.

To my negative surprise, I can't subscribe to Mail Plus if I have Pass Plus and would have to switch to Unlimited. 12.99€ per month is far too expensive for me and paying for 1 or 2 years straight away is too much.

Since I don't need a VPN or a 500GB drive, I'm now considering between Skiff and Tutanota. Although I would actually rather have Proton Mail...

I was in the same boat, buy ended up biting the bullet and went with Proton Unlimited. No regrets now, having the vpn is super handy when needed.

Im the reverse. I have Mail Plus and can't subscribe to Proton Pass unless I upgrade to Proton Unlimited. I do not need most of what comes with Unlimited though so it's a waste of money for me.

I hope they introduce the option to have two subscriptions soon. That's actually a pretty easy option. I don't like having a significantly more expensive product forced on me.

I'm in your same boat. They haven't implemented having multiple subscriptions yet.

Customer support suggests to just create a different account, but it's a shitty solution in my opinion.

[–] Noxvento@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

According to customer support, there are no plans to do so either. They wrote to me: "There are currently no such plans and it has never been discussed".

I was thinking about going this route, pass got me interested in the Proton ecosystem, was thinking about getting the mail plus subscription as well. But it looks like that's a no go :(

Weird, I seen this topic being discussed. We'll need to wait and see where it goes.

I thought the same but support wrote to me: „…they are looking into this idea since there are users that are requesting it, however, the Proton Pass feature, as well as the Pass Plus plan, are recently released and we can assure you that adding a new subscription plan isn't on our roadmap.“

[–] Nelizea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the support and you talk around eachother. Proton is working on making it possible to have more than one active subscription per account.

[–] Noxvento@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought so too. But they were pretty sure.

[–] Nelizea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

In the sense that there is not going to be a new plan for now, that is probably correct. However that doesn‘t mean that they are not working on combining plans
