Where did the two year subscription option go?
Proton’s pricing and subscription pages are a mess. The 2 year Unlimited plan for 7.99 a month still shows up here:
After some trying to figure it out, I was able to get there through the VPN page. I actually extended my relatively new one-year Unlimited subscription and now will be billed at the two year rate starting in January 2028. At first I thought trying to do this was wiping out my current subscription because I was expecting to see a proration discount for the rest of my current one year, but it actually added on so I’m good for almost three years.
If this unlimited you can check Pricing | Proton VPN where you can get 2 year subs. Otherwise they are not available anymore through website
Trying to get more money out of people without putting their prices up, per se; slightly underhand, but I get it.
It is grandfathered but removed. So if you are still paying for it, you have it, if not, you don’t. Unless any of these links work which I doubt if you have an account already.
I suggest using Student Beans if you can to purchase Proton AG plans, you can get all the same functionality at a very lucrative price
If it says “renews at this date for 24 months” with a price on there, will that automatically happen or will it downgrade to 12 month renewal and also will it change the price ever or will it stay the same? I just checked the price has doubled since the last time I paid my 24 months and it comes to renewal it says for the same price and for 24 months. Has this cone across anyone else and what happened?
Why are people repeating this question. I see this all the time. It’s getting boring
How incredibly frustrating. Glad I stumbled across the Valentine’s deal as it still comes out to better pricing, but c’mon team.
I did the same. Happy to get it for 3 years.
I did exactly the same thing. Just happy I was able to get in on the 2 year.
Yeah. They mentioned getting rid of the 7.99 deal. But somehow it’s still up on the vpn site.
Holy I didn’t know they had student discounts, thank you :))
From memory the last time the 2 yearly sub price increased was about 5 year ago, and that only for new customers.
So yes, if you subscribed prior to 2020 and compare your two yearly monthly amount to the monthly sub price now, the price has doubled. But it is not really a fair comparison, as in 2020 the monthly price would have been considerably higher than $6.49 as well
Not to mention that the Proton package from 2019 is a fraction for what you get now in the Unlimited package. Of course there are many things that still can be improved. But it would be quite impossible to offer todays Unlimited for $6.49 a month and still be profitable.
The Valentines deal is only valid for 1 year though, so in the long run the 2 year plan is better assuming you expect to be using proton for longer than 12 months.
It is a mess, you see different things depending on where you’re looking. 2 year plans are still available on some pages but not others.
Is that the valentines deal plus two year deal?
