My grievances with Proton

There is also the Lifetime Proton Pass + SimpleLogin deal.

Proton

Proton Pass + SimpleLogin Lifetime plan | Proton

Protect your passwords and identity for life for a one-time payment of $199. Find out how Pass + SimpleLogin works, and how to get this exclusive offer.

One-time payment and you don’t have to worry about aliases anymore for as long as Proton Pass is still a thing. This could be helpful with your subscription anxiety if the aliases are the thing you’re worried about most. You should be able to forward emails to other emails outside of Proton as well using Proton Pass aliases.
