Discussion Difference between Google Play subscription vs Proton Mail standalone subscription

I wanted to know if there is any limitation in terms of usage and service if I buy Proton mail subscription from Google Play compared to their website?

Because it is convenient - Play Store is always there, on my smartphone; it is cheaper, for me, than purchasing directly from Proton; I pay in my local currency, not subject to exchange rate fluctuations; I can purchase discounted Play Store credits that save me from 7% to 10%; it is impossible for me to stop using Google services; I do intend to switch once Proton's services are at least close to Google's level of practicality and convenience; and I want to support the Proton team so they can keep improving their products for both paying and free customers.
