Today, we are undertaking our biggest step forward in the movement for an internet that respects your privacy. The new, updated Proton offers one account, many services, and one privacy-by-default ecosystem. You can now enjoy unified protection with a modernized look and feel.

Evolving into a unified Proton reflects our growth from an end-to-end encrypted email provider to an entire privacy ecosystem, allowing us to deliver even more benefits to the Proton community and make privacy accessible to everyone.

Users were only able to subscribe to the company's individual services. All of the services offered by the company can be accessed from the new account that will be offered.

More advanced features and more storage are available via paid plans. The free tier includes up to 1GB of storage and one email address, as well as access to Proton's calendar and VPNs services.

The tier costs 9.99 euros for a year, with savings of up to 33% for those who choose a 24 month plan. Individual plans are still available for those who only want to use a VPNs.

Existing account holders will receive a storage boost and new features at no extra cost as part of the rebrand.

New logos, colors, and an updated design for its new desktop and mobile apps are some of the changes that Proton is introducing to highlight the changes.

A group of scientists from MIT and CERN launched a secure email service in March 2016 with open source code. You can learn more about the company at its new website.
