They're just too expensive. Like, sure, it costs money to run, but 3.49€/month (the discounted 24 month rate) for the mail only plan, 15 GB storage. (41.88€, $45.17 USD, $67.28 AUD per year)

That's really expensive if you just want mail.

The other stuff, is also really expensive. To the point that makes you think, "there is no way google is making THIS much to make up the difference in advertising to me for a comparable plan".

If you just need an email account I'd suggest to have a look at posteo.de. I am with them for many years now. Price is good and terms also.

You get mailserver capabilities with that tier as well though. You shouldn't be using the plus plan unless you need the email storage or host custom domains and don't want to deal with the admin.

Great, hopefully it is as useful. Surveys and such are a must for any migration.

Interesting. I will try to find out if it's 1:1 in handling .docx like OnlyOffice which i hope it is. It sucks that OnlyOffice won't run natively on Wayland.

Are they trying to become Google alternative?

It's all good but I wish they increase the storage for free tier a bit more

[–] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wish they could provide more storage for paid users, or allow users to a la carte add storage. $4/mo to merely match Gmail's 15GB feels a bit steep, and it must be feasible for them to offer their mail service with 100GB+ for $5/mo.

Is this meant as a Proton Notes equivalent ?

[–] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, but they've recently acquired standardnotes
