As a long time ProtonMail user, I only use their mail service. I don’t particularly like the idea of one company being a singular point of failure for my data… Proton is good, certainly better than Google, but putting all your eggs in one basket seems like a bad plan.
I also discovered the hard way how the services interact with each other. I had the free email and chose to test out the paid VPN on the same account. The paid VPN pulled money out of a masked debit card before starting the service, just like any other prepaid service. I disabled the debit card, and Proton attempted to charge me for a second month of VPN service, failed, and locked me out of my email. I had to prepay for a second, unwanted month of VPN service before it let me access my mail again.
