Proton Unlimited

Proton Unlimited is the flagship consumer bundle from Proton AG, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Calendar, Proton Pass, and Proton Wallet. The Unlimited plan gives one account access to every Proton product at its top consumer tier: 500 GB of encrypted storage shared across Mail and Drive, 15 custom email addresses and three custom domains, unlimited hide-my-email aliases via SimpleLogin, the Plus tier of Proton VPN (NetShield, secure-core, up to 10 devices, P2P support), Proton Pass Plus with unlimited vaults and secure sharing, and Proton Sentinel, the high-risk-account protection service. Proton's engineering is based in Geneva, its infrastructure spans more than 100 countries, and its apps are open-source and audited. The company is structured as a non-profit foundation that owns a majority stake in Proton AG, which is a consistent talking point in privacy-focused coverage.

Typical buyers are privacy-conscious individuals, journalists and researchers in hostile-press environments, remote workers who want one subscription instead of five, and small teams that want E2E-encrypted collaboration without self-hosting. For affiliates the appeal is a single product SKU (Unlimited) that maps onto VPN-review content, encrypted-email guides, password-manager comparisons, and Google Workspace alternatives — four separate content niches that all convert into the same subscription. Proton regularly runs steep annual discounts (30-50%) and currency-localised pricing, which gives creators concrete price points for comparison content against NordVPN, 1Password, Tutanota, and iCloud+.

Proton's Partners Program is the official route for publishers and runs primarily on CJ Affiliate (advertiser cid=5227916), with Involve Asia covering APAC regional traffic. Publishers apply via proton.me/partners, which routes into a CJ publisher application if they do not already have a CJ account; Proton reviews the site, approves the relationship, and issues tracking links, banners, and product-feed deeplinks inside the CJ dashboard. A separate referral program inside any Proton account pays existing users USD 10 account credit per referred paid signup, which is not the publisher affiliate route.

Commission tiers for Proton Unlimited and other paid plans are 100% of the first month's revenue on monthly signups, 40% of the first-term revenue on 1-year and 2-year plans (the most common purchase), and 30% recurring commission on renewals. The cookie window is 30 days click-to-signup. Commissions lock after Proton's validation period and pay on CJ's standard net-20 monthly cycle via direct deposit, check, or Payoneer, subject to CJ's USD 50 / USD 100 minimum thresholds. Self-referrals, PPC bidding on Proton brand terms, and coupon-site traffic are excluded; non-profits aligned with Proton's mission can request enhanced terms through the partners team.
