For more than three decades, Microsoft Office has dominated the productivity software market, holding its position despite growing demand for lighter, more secure options that seamlessly handle files from the established suite.
Over time, Proton has developed a collection of productivity tools such as Drive, Docs, Sheets, Mail, Calendar, and others, and the company is now integrating them into a single package. As of today, users can try Proton Workspace, a secure collaboration platform designed for those seeking independence from major technology providers.
This new offering from Proton takes on platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace by providing privacy-focused tools including Proton Mail, Proton Docs, Proton Sheets, and Proton Meet. All features employ end-to-end and zero-access encryption, ensuring that Proton itself cannot view user data on its cloud servers.
Proton Workspace debuts with two pricing levels: Standard and Premium. The Standard option costs $12.99 per month on an annual plan and provides entry to essential services like Mail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, VPN, and Pass, along with 1TB of storage, 15 personalized email domains, and support for up to 50 people in video meetings.
The Premium tier builds on Standard by increasing storage to 3TB, expanding custom email domains to 20, allowing up to 250 video call participants, and adding the Lumo AI helper. It is priced at $19.99 per month with annual payment.
Founded in Switzerland in 2014, Proton has earned recognition for prioritizing user privacy in digital services. For individuals aiming to reduce reliance on Google, Proton's applications stand out as top choices.
