Even so, you’d have to be prepared to give up the ability to be able to search the contents of your emails.įor most businesses, Gmail is likely to be the better choice for a professional email service.EM Client comes with a handful of helpful features that will enable you to organize both your personal and professional life without leaving the app. As Gmail is part of G Suite, it also comes with a large collection of other apps.Īlthough we like the security of Protonmail more than Gmail, the only reason it would be worth considering is if data privacy is a primary concern.

Gmail is a bit more expensive than Protonmail but includes much more storage space for emails. Verdictīoth Protonmail and Gmail have similar feature sets and can be used on any device. Protonmail’s prices are cheaper, but G Suite offers far more storage space, which might be worth paying extra for, given how quickly mailboxes can fill up. Email storage for the Basic plan is limited to 30 GB, while the other two plans have unlimited storage. G Suite has three plans-Basic, Business, and Enterprise-that range in price from $6/month per user up to $25/month. Protonmail has various plans and pricing (Image credit: Protonmail) All of Protonmail’s plans are cheaper if purchased for a year. There is also a Visionary plan for six users and 20 GB of storage, which costs $30/month and includes ProtonVPN.

The single user has limits on the number of emails that can be sent per day. Each user has 5 GB of storage and five email addresses.

Protonmail and Gmail both have knowledge bases with articles covering a variety of different topics. If this type of searching is something you use extensively, then you need to consider whether having the extra security is worth more than the missing functionality.

In Gmail, you can search old emails by subject line, sender, recipient, date, folder, or contents.ĭue to the encryption process, Protonmail doesn’t index your emails, which means you can’t search for anything in the contents. But while the encryption of your data is great for security, it’s not so good if you want to search for previous emails. As mentioned, Protonmail takes security very seriously.

Protonmail comes up short of Gmail in another important area. The lack of a dedicated desktop app is offset by the fact that Protonmail’s web browser user interface is similar to many desktop apps. Protonmail and Gmail will work on all devices (Image credit: Google)
