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.

Worth is subjective. It sounds to me like it's not a fit to your criteria so I wouldn't recommend it.

Personally, I like it. I actively use email, drive, calendar, and VPN. Yes, they're all separate apps so it's not like its a true ecosystem, but its really the closest to a suite of products you'll get in the privacy world. Mostly though, I like what the company stands for and how they treat their customers.

Biggest issue I have is their password manager. It's been improved since I've tried it but it wasn't great. The main issue I had was it sharing the same password as the rest of it's apps. No. I want a single password manager password I can remember and then a unique, complex password for apps. So I use a separate password manager.

I also don't use their aliases. I tried to switch over and just didn't like how it handled the headers and how it worked with my sieve filters. One day I'll probably make the switch, but it just doesn't seem worth the time when Addy is $1/mo.
