Organize your life better with support for more items in Proton Pass, storing all of your essential day-to-day data in a custom format that works for you.
I got a full screen ad when I opened my inbox last week. Closed the app as to not interact with their hostile action. Reopened my inbox, tap the email I was trying to read, and this fucking thing pops back over.
Never gonna happen.
You’re on a free account. Do you realy expect them to never try to sell their actual product to you? I bet you never saw this until the upgrade was on sale.
At least Proton (on paid plan anyway) doesn’t spam you with the promotions, unlike the competition you can tell them to fuck off after showing it once instead of “remind me later”.
That ad was for an upgrade from free to plus. Not a paying user.
And I’ve only seen ads to upgrade once or twice a year, max. Specifically when they’re running some kind of discount. Does that really count as incessant? How often and for how long does one qualify for incessant.
I mean probably a dozen times a year in various places. Also every time I change devices it adds “sent from ProtonMail” to the bottom of my emails. I have to disable this per-device.
I pay for the Duo plan only for the support with SMTP/IMAP on custom domains along side the 1Tb drive space. I only ever notice the ads on ProtonPass trying to upgrade me to the family plan.
Really not as intrusive or annoying as people make it out to be but I must agree as a paying user we should not have to deal with ads.
Interesting. When I only paid for one service, I would see the occasional upgrade offer in other services. But not with Unlimited. There’s not much to up-sell you on when you’re already on unlimited except Duo or Family. So not much incentive to display ads.
There’s a giant ad literally every time I open the settings menu, “recommending” that I upgrade to Duo, even though I’m the only person I know who uses Proton. Unfortunately I have to use the shitty settings menu nearly every day because there’s no convenient way to block domains.
There’s also a “BLACK FRIDAY SALE” ad at the top right. Right now.
Unlimited user here, only ad ive seen from them is the updated icon on the app store that is too small to read. Beyond that, didnt even know they were doing a sale untill a colleague of mine brought it up.

Seriously, of all the things to get upset about…

I agree. Their incessant advertising to paying users is extremely annoying.
E: Proof for the downvoters

I’m a paying user and have not had a single advert from them in 3 years…

Ditto
I don’t believe you.
Are you using Proton Unlimoted, or a single service?
Unlimited

If you close it. You won’t see it again. Just a little button at the upper right of the page while the sale is on.
Ok
