If you’re new to Proton, you can get an offer directly on our website:

• Proton Mail(nuova finestra)
• Proton Drive(nuova finestra)
• Proton VPN(nuova finestra)
• Proton Pass(nuova finestra)

You can also create an account and get the deal in our web apps using your browser, as explained below.

If you’re already using Proton 

You can upgrade your existing subscription by signing in to your account at Proton Mail(nuova finestra), Proton Calendar(nuova finestra), Proton Pass, Proton Drive(nuova finestra), or Proton VPN.

You may also take advantage of our offers in the Drive, Pass, or VPN desktop apps.

From promotional emails

Depending on your communication preferences, you may also receive our offers via email. Select a plan in the email to visit our online checkout, where you can enter a payment method and upgrade.

Who can benefit from our end-of-year promotion?

Anyone who is new to Proton or has a Free plan can take advantage of our end-of-year deals.

Some of our deals are also available if you already have a Proton subscription. To view which offers you can purchase, simply sign in to account.proton.me and click the Black Friday button.

Please note that you are not eligible for these offers if:

• You canceled an existing subscription a month or less before the promotion started
• You have a Drive Lite, Family, Visionary plan, or any plan for business
• You have paid for your plan via the App Store or Play Store

Please note that the eligibility requirements for our Pass + SimpleLogin Llifetime offer differ from those above. See here for full details.

Can I get a deal this year if I got one last year? 

Yes, but the new plan must be an upgrade from the plan you purchased as part of last year’s Black Friday or end-of-year promotion.

For example, if you purchased a Mail Plus plan during one of our offers in 2023, you can only purchase a Proton Unlimited, Duo, or Family plan as part of this year’s end-of-year promotion.

Payment options

You can pay for your subscription using a credit or debit card, PayPal, or Bitcoin.

As our promotions are time-sensitive, we do not recommend paying via Bank Transfer or cash, as these types of payments take a longer time to process. 

How the discounts are calculated

Discounts are calculated against our standard monthly price. For example, a Proton Unlimited plan is normally $12.99/month. The one-year Proton Unlimited deal is $6.49/month, or 50% off.

When will my subscription start?

If you didn’t previously have an account, were on a free plan, or are upgrading from a lower-tier plan, your subscription will start immediately when we receive payment. We will apply prorated credit from your existing subscription to your Proton Account.

If you are upgrading to a longer-duration Proton VPN Plus plan (from monthly to annual), you will be charged the full price of the offer at checkout and your subscription renewal date will be extended for an additional 12 months.
