Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've thinking about purchasing Proton Mail Plus only and just only to have IMAP support, but I've looked all the features that the Proton Unlimited Plan have, and honestly I believe it's worth, but I hate having all the eggs in the same basket.

The features I believe worth the most are the 500GB storage, IMAP support, all the VPN servers with P2P and unlimited SimpleLogin aliases, but when I ask if it is worth the price I mean, the majority of those features I can have them having individually with others services and even at lower price.

I agree, why put all your eggs in one basket? especially if the better alternative is cheaper.

If anything happens to your proton account, and you rely completely on their services, you could lose everything you have in your digital life, like 2fa codes, passwords, emails, photos and files, whatever else. Just like if someone in the google ecosystem lost their account, they'd lose their entire life almost. So it doesn't really make sense to me to pay more money, for a risk as big as that. I mean, convenience? they're all separate apps anyway. It's no different than using tuta mail, proton drive, bitwarden, and mullvad VPN. The icons are just different on your home screen.
