Alternatives to Proton

Proton was founded in 2014 by a team of scientists who met at CERN and were united by a shared vision to build a safer internet. What started as a crowdfunding campaign for encrypted email has grown into a full suite of privacy-focused services used by millions worldwide. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, Proton benefits from some of the world's strongest privacy laws. Swiss law requires a court order before any user data can be accessed, and Proton's end-to-end encryption means they cannot read your emails or files anyway. All Proton apps are open source, meaning their code can be independently audited by security experts. This transparency is fundamental to earning user trust in the privacy space.
