No knock on Proton, but there have been a lot of "lifetime membership" deals these last few years that wind up forgotten after corporate decides number should go up.
I'll consider "lifetime payments" when corpos offer a legal contract specifying what their remedy will be when "lifetime" winds up meaning "when corporate loses interest".

Yeah, I might consider this if it came with VPN too but this doesn't really seem worth it. I still remember my "lifetime" LogMeIn licenses...

Proton already does a lot of shady marketing crap so I would be very dubious of such an offer. This may also come before they just offer those additions in the free version, since it probably does not sell well on its own.

Happened to me with the Lemmy app Bean except the dev vanished.

Yeah, lifetime offers often come in a last ditch effort to milk customers for a dying product.
