Proton Unlimited rarely gets this cheap. The 12-month plan normally costs $12.99 per month, but it's currently down 30% to $8.99 per month – a saving of $4, or $48 over the year.Outside of Black Friday, this is as low as the price gets, and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you want to try it risk-free.Proton is a Swiss-based privacy company, and Unlimited is its flagship subscription: a bundle of eight encrypted apps designed to replace the Big Tech tools most of us rely on by default. That means one of the best VPNs, private email, cloud storage, a password manager, a calendar, and more – all end-to-end encrypted, all under one roof.What makes it worth considering isn't just the breadth of the suite, but the philosophy behind it. Everything Proton builds is encrypted by design, with no ads and no data harvesting. Its Swiss base matters too – it places Proton outside US and EU jurisdiction, meaning no FISA orders, no surveillance partnerships, and no obligation to hand your data to third parties.One subscription, eight appsAt $8.99 a month, Proton Unlimited covers a lot of ground. Proton VPN gives you access to 20,000+ servers across 145 countries, support for up to 10 devices, and fast speeds. It also includes NetShield ad-blocking, Secure Core servers for extra security, Tor over VPN, split tunneling, a kill switch, and a strict no-logs policy.Proton Mail adds 15 encrypted email addresses, unlimited hide-my-email aliases, and support for up to three custom domains.Proton Drive adds 500 GB of encrypted cloud storage with version history, while Proton Pass goes beyond basic password management with 50 vaults, unlimited logins, and a built-in 2FA authenticator that means one less app to juggle. Proton Calendar keeps your schedule encrypted and off Big Tech servers, and Proton Meet offers private video calling without the Google or Zoom overhead.Round that out with Proton Wallet – an encrypted Bitcoin wallet – and Lumo AI, Proton's privacy-first AI assistant, and you have a self-contained privacy ecosystem that rivals anything Big Tech offers.Eight apps, one subscription, and the biggest discount you'll see outside of Black Friday.
