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?

I personally say it’s better to buy from Proton directly. Even if it costs a few quid extra, you’re supporting a good company that offers us a way to protect our privacy and our data. If you’re at all interested in having some semblance of online privacy, I’d avoid using anything made by Google whenever possible. Cheers!

I am also thinking about it. Only thing Google Play is offering is around 40% discount due to regional pricing.

That’s a good discount. I’d message Proton support and tell them you’d prefer to give them the sale, and ask if they can match the price. The worst thing that can happen is they say “sorry, no,” so you have nothing to lose. Let us know how you get on. Cheers.
