What’s included in Proton business plans?
By default, all Proton business plans include Proton Mail, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, Proton Docs, Proton Sheets, Proton Meet and Proton VPN for one user. Proton Workspace Premium also includes Lumo(nouvelle fenêtre). You can add extra users when you sign up or add/remove them in your Proton Account later.
Each user comes with a certain amount of storage space plus a number of email addresses, and each user can connect to our VPN service on 1 or up to 10 devices at the same time, depending on your plan.
| Plan | Storage per user | Email addresses per user | VPN connections per user |
| Proton Mail Essentials | 15 GB | 10 | 1 |
| Proton Mail Professional (legacy) | 50 GB | 15 | 1 |
| Proton Workspace Standard | 1 TB | 20 | 10 |
| Proton Workspace Premium | 3 TB | 20 | 10 |
For example, if you have a Proton Workspace Standard plan with four users, you’ll have a total of:
- 4 x 1 TB = 4 TB of storage
- 4 x 20 = 80 addresses
- 4 x 10 = 40 VPN connections
As an administrator, you can allocate your total storage (in this example, 4 TB) between your users as you wish. You can also create any number of addresses for each user up to your total address limit (in this example, 80).
You can also switch VPN connections on or off for each user (which sets the number of connections to 0 or 10). But you can’t redistribute VPN connections among your user accounts. The number of VPN connections per user is capped at 10.
So if you have four users in your organization, they can connect to Proton VPN on up to 40 devices at once using four user accounts.
How to customize your plan
With Proton Mail Essentials, Proton Mail Professional (legacy), and Proton Workspace, you can add or remove users. With Workspace, you can also add extra custom domains.

Changing your billing cycle
To change the billing period for your Proton business plan:
1. Sign in to your Proton Account at account.proton.me and select Settings → All settings → Dashboard → Your plan.
2. Select Edit billing details.
3. Choose a new billing period from the billing cycle dropdown menu.
4. Select Confirm if there is nothing to pay or Pay… to continue to the checkout.
Changing your billing currency
To change the currency you use to pay for your Proton business plan:
1. Sign in to your Proton Account at account.proton.me and select Settings → All settings → Dashboard → Your plan.
2. Select Customize plan.
3. In the Plan summary, choose the currency you want to switch to.
4. Click Continue to check out.
Note: Changing the currency also extends the duration of your plan, which means you’ll be charged again but not the full amount. Depending on how long the plan has been used, you’ll only be charged the difference for the extension.
For example, if you pay monthly on August 10, your paid plan will last until September 10. If you then decide to change the currency on August 20, your plan will be extended until September 20, but you will only be charged for the 10-day difference, not the full amount for one month.
