I feel like I am slowly moving all my data being with Google to Proton. Makes me a bit uncomfortable to be all under one umbrella again.

At least so far it seems they are a decent company

In the same boat, but what puts me at ease is the fact that when Proton Pass launched, they had way more people sign up, including paid plans, than they expected, so they lowered the price.

When they lowered their price I signed up. Not because it was cheaper but because they didn’t seem like a money driven company. I understand you need to make money and pay people but these tech companies that make hand over fist billions and keep it annoy me.

The plan you mentioned is sadly no longer available

Proton Visionary is a special plan for the strongest early supporters of our mission, and for this reason, we’re no longer offering it to new users. You can change your billing period any time (for example, change from monthly to annual or two-year billing), but please bear in mind that if you switch to another Proton plan, you won’t be able to switch back to Visionary.

This could potentially speed up the possibility of a Google Doc alternative in Proton Drive’s future too 👀 I see exciting possibilities here

This is disappointing as someone who does not want everything centralized under one company. I have tried to diversify the services I use, but this is the second one that Proton has acquired.

SimpleLogin development has essentially been stalled since they were acquired by Proton as resources were used to develop Pass instead. I have a feeling that Standard Notes will be treated similarly.

I started using SimpleLogin just before the acquisition so wasn’t aware of how active development was prior to Proton. That said I don’t believe they have added anything new in that time (a year now)?

this is a good point, but thankfully there are many options whether you want a full suite, or individual companies
