Privacy Guides

Tutanota doesn't share their security audits, which Proton does.

Also, IIRC Tutanota uses their own custom encryption implementation, while Proton contributes to open source OpenPGP projects.

And when in the past the the Swiss gov ordered Proton to do some limited tracking for a specific user, after that they went to the court and succeeded in changing the law so it's no longer possible to order this tracking.

Proton might not be ideal, but they seem to actually care about making the Internet a safer place.

I've never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don't have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they're working on. Not that any of it's bad, but it feels like they're in the "can't just make a good product" camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I'm just a person, not an analyst.

Tutanota deleted my account due to not logging in for 6 months. That was rough.

+1 as a Proton unlimited user. Yes, proton has some unfinished products, I mainly purchased it for vpn and email( also SimpleLogin). So others are a bit of extra for me. After some time, I also plan to switch from Bitwarden to proton pass. If macOS client comes, then I will also switch to proton drive.

Tutanota is mainly an email service, with very basic calendar and contact functionality. Proton has a suite of apps, including Mail, Drive, VPN, Calendar, and Pass. I got the Tutanota subscription when it was €1/month and it works well for me.

I used to use both mail mobile apps, but found out that Proton Mail notification doesn't work without Google Play Services, which is a deal breaker for me. So I use Tutanota as my main email and Proton as my backup and for its Drive. Either way, I'm just glad to leave Gmail.

Plus one for Proton. I've used Tutanota but enjoy the Proton suite. It's been a while since I used Tutanota so can't remember if they have a suite or not

I love Proton and have been a visionary member for quite a few years. They give visionary member so much space it's nuts.

I am fine with Tutanota. Simple and working. All the half-finished services from Proton are just really annoying for me.

I’ve been using Proton for a few months now and I like it. It’s under Swiss law and not part of that Five Eyes agency, so I at least feel like my data is secure. Their iOS app is actually really nice and easy to use if that will make or break something for you OP.

Both are ok, but Proton is too weird, also IMAP issue for Linux users makes it even worse. Posteo is probably better service, than both combined.

Better graphic interface for proton and it come with vpn, storage (500go), proton pass, calendar, etc

I pay 12$ a month

Proton lost me in the testmonth. I wanted to cancel the auto renewing subscription about two weeks before it would habe been renewed and realized that they immediately removed all subscription-features. That disappointed me so much. That's not fair, I think.

Protonmail’s interface and mobile app is more refined and faster than Tutanota’s, and PM has more features on their free tier than what Tutanota provides on their free tier. Having said that, both are great email providers. I have accounts on both but I tend to use PM more at this point in time.

I am using Tutanota as my e-mail provider and it's quite OK.
