Why Tuta? (lemm.ee)

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know from Tuta users, why do you prefer it to proton?

Personally i use proton however after the recent fiasco it has inspired me to look beyond, and Tuta is a very popular option.

My question is: Why? Proton so far hasn't failed me, only disappointed. Is there any reason for me to switch to tuta in this case?

Peace to you all ✌️

but paying for services can be good sometimes

I agree but not everyone can pay 135 for email. i'm a broke student, i'd rather spend my money more wisely. Eventually when i get the money i will start spending on stuff like this.

Besides, proton's free plan is pretty good. I'm asking if tuta is better in general.

Eventually when i get the money i will start spending on stuff like this.

When I was a young and broke loser, I never paid.

Once I got a proper job and secure my finances, I started paying because I realized that when I was using the services that were free, some FOSS enjoyers with financial means paid to make them free for me.

So this is my turn to pay back. I prefer service that have a free tier for this reason.

Either way, people of limited means should not suffer and privacy is a universal right.
