ProtonMail has gotten a makeover.The most obvious change is that the company is now called Proton. This shorter moniker better reflects the fact that it's not solely focused on private email—it also offers a VPN service, a calendar app, and a cloud storage service that's currently available in beta on the web.Proton has also moved to a new domain, "proton.me," and given Proton Mail users the option of switching to the shorter domain. Proton CEO Andy Yen said in a blog post that this change is necessary because of Proton's desire to introduce even more services in the future.Proton users will also notice updated logos for, and interfaces in, the company's apps. I've been using the redesigned software for a few days, and while it's not revolutionary, it does compete with similar offerings from the likes of Google and Microsoft from a user experience perspective.Proton has also introduced new pricing plans for its paid customers. The company said in a support article that existing users will "enjoy a storage boost and get more features, like additional email addresses, custom domains, VPN connections, and more — all for the same price as your old plan" as part of the transition to a unified Proton subscription. Those changes have been accompanied by the introduction of new Proton Unlimited and Proton Business plans. Individual customers have the option of the $10-per-month Proton Unlimited Plan—which includes premium Proton Mail features as well as access to Proton VPN, Calendar, and Drive—or the $4-per-month Mail Plus plan that drops Proton VPN and Drive.Proton's use of end-to-end encryption across its product suite remains unchanged—Proton Mail, VPN, Calendar, and Drive all use that encryption scheme to secure user data. (And, of course, the company continues to highlight the fact that it's protected by Swiss privacy laws.)"Proton’s mission continues to be building a better internet where privacy is the default, supported by a movement of millions of people," Yen said. "Driven by our belief that people always come before profits, our first priority remains serving the Proton community. We will continue this journey in a way that is unique to Proton."
