I've been using metasearch engines (engines that pass your query to multiple search engines so you can aggregate them easily) and the two I've been using were pretty good in my experience. 4get.ca and degoog.org.

Yeah I've been thinking about sending them a couple of emails to learn about their business decisions and structure. I'll reply about the responses I get!

So it's like saying they want to make sure storage is efficiently used and aren't handing out 500 GB of storage to multiple users and they end up only using a fraction and now there isn't enough storage for new users. Something like that right?

Also for Proton, I know you have to pay so you can use the Bridge to use 3rd party clients.

Hmm, I suppose I can understand that viewpoint.

But if most people would use the lower end, wouldn't that make it less sustainable as a company that also states they very sustainable? (which I'm very happy for and support of course) I'm not an expert in business economics tho :p

I believe you'd see high usage if you use attachments a lot.

 

Been looking into Posteo and I saw the price for additional storage is 0.25/GB/month with a cap of 75GB. I calculated this to seem to be 18.75 (including the initial 4GB) per month. When looking at Proton, Tuta, and Startmail, this feels very expensive compared to their competitors. Is there something I'm missing here? Does Posteo do a bunch of stuff that warrants a high rate for the higher end compared to the very affordable low end?
