Beloved VPN and private email app Proton is getting a big discount

If there is one thing that all users want in this world, it is a product with lower prices and better privacy. And that is exactly what one of the most loved and best private email and VPN providers, Proton, is offering to anyone using iOS.

 

Proton set to slash prices after court ruling

Proton, the developer of the excellent Proton Mail , Proton Pass , and Proton VPN , has revealed that it will be lowering its subscription prices for iOS users. This comes after a major lawsuit involving Apple and Epic Games, in which Apple was forced to end anti-competitive practices that allowed it to charge subscribers extra fees.

Andy Yen, founder and CEO of Proton, has noted that this is finally an opportunity for the company to cut costs for subscribers and potentially offer discounts of up to 30% — a big win for millions of iOS users around the world.

Additionally, director Yen noted that Apple's ruling could also have a major impact on inflation in the United States.

 

Proton told TechRadar that the price changes would only take effect in the US because different rules apply in the EU. Indeed, Proton is 'begging the EU to follow suit and really force Apple to act.'

Users do not need to register through the App Store

The point is: You don't have to sign up for Proton's privacy-focused apps through the App Store. It's always much cheaper to go directly to Proton and sign up, then log in to your respective Proton account.

The biggest difference is that it now costs no more to subscribe to Proton (and other subscription services) through the App Store than it does through the service's website. That's fair pricing, and it should always be.

So if you are wondering whether to sign up for Proton, here is your chance.
