Overview
- Proton on Tuesday launched Workspace, a bundled productivity suite, and Meet, an end-to-end encrypted video service, with apps live on the web, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux.
- Workspace comes in two plans: Standard at $12.99 a month (annual) with Mail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, VPN, and Pass, and Premium at $19.99 a month (annual) with more storage, higher Meet limits, retention policies, and the Lumo AI assistant.
- Meet uses the open, audited Messaging Layer Security protocol to encrypt voice, video, screen shares, chat, and metadata so even Proton cannot read call content.
- Users can start or join Meet calls without an account, host up to 50 participants for one hour for free, add links to Proton, Google, or Microsoft calendars, and upgrade to a Meet Professional plan starting at $7.99 per user per month.
- Proton positions its Swiss jurisdiction, zero‑access encryption, and ISO 27001/SOC2 certifications as compliance benefits for GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, pitching a private alternative as concerns grow over AI training and U.S. CLOUD Act demands.
