Expensive compared to what? Compared to the price of a coffee? Compared to the price of your privacy? Compared to your disposable income? Compared to competing services?

Look at the value you get:
1Password costs $2.99 per month
ExpressVPN $12.95 per month
NordLocker $7.99 per month
Total $23.93 per month and you do not get email or calendar included

Proton Unlimited $12.99 per month with email and calendar (and future services)

Netflix standard plan $15.49 per month

@Albin9326 @stifle867 The proton plan is good value. I just want proton to give a shit about linux and provide decent support. Linux is the lowest class citizen to proton.

Agreed. Even Android feels like a 2nd class citizen at times. There are obvious bugs that have never been fixed in core features. That being said it's still worth it and I'm glad to be supporting them fund future development.
