Now with the release of Proton Wallet, I’m feeling increasingly like I’m paying for features that I simply don’t need, while feeling a lack of what I need.
This is within the scope of the existing features and products. Personally I don’t have a need for Wallet or Calendar, nor do I need Linux support, but I do want more storage for example, but there are those of us who do, or might not want another password manger or use the VPN.
What it feels is the issue to me is the lack of breaking up services, having different tiers, and no way to upgrade within existing services unless I pay way more for Visionary.
Although Apple and Google aren’t privacy friendly companies, I believe their pricing makes a lot more sense. You can pay for individual, bundled or everything, aka “One”.
So my solution to this is to have the following
- You can buy “premium” versions of each app, whilst still having access to free versions (what they more or less already do)
- Proton to offer bundles such as VPN, with Drive
- Or allow me to create my own bundle, whilst allowing free access to apps I don’t need premium features or even access too
- Still offer an “all in one” bundle that equals too all services being cheaper then paying separately
- Offer upgrading storage without having to upgrade the whole account. 500GB just isn’t enough, why not offer a custom scale from 100GB all the way through to 10TB, with a slider to select the amount, that has increments?
