Proton Sets Its Sights on Big Tech With a New Office Suite and Video Conferencing App
The suite bundles Mail, Calendar, Drive and more, and Proton says Meet lets users join calls without an account.
- On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, Switzerland-based Proton launched Proton Workspace, bundling privacy-focused services including email, document creation, and the newly released encrypted video conferencing tool, Proton Meet.
- Proton CEO Andy Yen stated the suite targets businesses seeking to "break free from Big Tech dependency" and prevent confidential data from becoming business intelligence for AI training models.
- Standard plans cost $13 per user monthly billed annually, while Premium tiers cost $25 per user monthly and include expanded storage, higher participant limits, and access to Lumo, the company's AI assistant.
- Meet offers end-to-end encrypted video conferencing via the Messaging Layer Security protocol, allowing participants to join calls without a Proton account and integrating directly with Google and Microsoft calendars.
- Although Microsoft and Google control more than 95% of the office software market, Proton targets high-risk industries like legal and research firms requiring strict compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA standards.
