I suspect the reason for the more expensive model, is that the “Proton” trademark has been around with “ProtonMail”, and a brand has been built up that they feel can fetch a higher price. I felt that ProtonVPN’s base price was fairly high when compared to their competition. If the service is already fairly expensive, a small discount doesn’t provide enough incentive to commit to a long term plan over a similar, or better company. If a service’s base price is already fairly high, a deep discount for a long term commitment is usually an indicator of that service trying to discourage short timers or people preferring a month-to-month payment schedule. There’s always a balance to strike for bulk purchase discounts, and it’s kind of a double edged sword. The “recommended” plan (Plus) was fairly expensive for one month of service – $10/month, or $8/month with a discount when signing up for a year of service. The Free plan has P2P ports blocked as well. I’m used to seeing a trial for a limited time, or limited, but full-featured bandwidth. This isn’t a bad thing necessarily, just unusual. The cheapest plans (Free and Basic) provide slower servers than paid. The first is that plans were broken up in a somewhat unusual way.
