More like "Simplelogin is included with proton unlimited subscription." It is hard for something to be free if you also have to pay to get it. Good marketing but not very honest.

it's just an hidden feature with a proton unlimited, business, visionary plan. There is no list of it being included in their website. One would only know if they have previously paid for simplelogin

Point taken. It is part of the package you get and most people don't know that. The 'get X free with purchase' thing is just a pet peave of mine. It is basically everywhere in advertising.

I had an account before their update and unification of services so they bumped my account up to unlimited. I did not now this was added, so thank you!

I was using Mozilla’s Relay and was just thinking about something more expansive and customizable. I recognize how people can think of this as an ad, but in my case you’re highlighting benefits I was unaware of.
