Proton VPN Plus or Proton Unlimited: what is the difference?

Facts last checked · Prices checked on

Proton Unlimited adds Proton Pass (premium), Proton Drive (premium) and Proton Mail and Proton Calendar to Proton VPN Plus. On the 24-month plan it costs €7.99 per month against €3.49.

Do you still need a VPN? Extras such as antivirus or a password manager are separate products: you do not need them to use the VPN itself. Run through the honest checklist

Which one to take

  • Included means the provider lists the feature in that plan; we have not tested the extras.
  • You can ask for a refund within 30 days of the first purchase.

Not for you if you need Proton Pass (premium): of these two, only Proton Unlimited includes it.

How to cancel and get a refund

Proton VPN refunds within 30 days. Within 30 days of initial purchase; once per user; cash and bank-transfer payments excluded; only subscriptions bought directly from Proton.

To avoid the renewal charge, switch off automatic renewal in your account before the first term ends. The provider's terms decide the exact deadline.
