Yeah, agreed with the other comment here on mail.

I've tried their VPN, Calendar, Protonpass extension, etc.

VPN gets a 5/10 for me. I prefer PIA for speed, reliability, and streaming. (Also dedicated IP optino.)

Calendar gets a 1/10 for me. I don't use it, it was too hard to figure out in terms of UX.

Proton Pass gets a 9/10 for me. Easy, quick, importing all my passwords into it was fast. I wish it had a standalone app with local storage or something.

I use several custom domains for mail and have appreciated having the option to have it all in the same inbox. I wouldn't personally compare it to Google one-to-one, but it's excellent at mail.

Thank you for your feedback! Regarding Proton VPN, we recommend that you reach out to us at: https://protonvpn.com/support-form?ref=contact_product_vpn and provide some details about the issues you've had with speed, reliability and streaming, so we can see what we can improve.

Regarding calendar, please let us know what you found difficult to use, and on which platform (web, mobile, desktop)?

Thank you for the high rating of the Proton Pass browser extension! Note that our new Proton Pass Windows app comes with offline support too (https://proton.me/blog/proton-pass-windows-app), as will the upcoming macOS and Linux apps.

Oh also importantly - If I was you atm, I'd buy month-to-month or a cheap plan until Black friday sales/other sales. I got the biggest plan at a discount a few sales ago.
