Trust and anonymity play a key role in secure communications

I am uncertain about the two-factor authentication feature. I have had integrations with other Proton services and have used Proton VPN once, though it has limited features. Simple Mail, which was acquired by ProtonMail, has been very useful for me. The pricing is moderate. I have not used any paid services from ProtonMail. It is not very costly, but I have not used any premium services. I am a customer of ProtonMail. I would rate ProtonMail an eight out of ten due to their transparency and the utility of their simple login feature. My job and company name should remain hidden.

Email triage solution that actions and handles emails based on preferences

Superhuman could be improved by being made available across a broader range of devices including Android and Windows PCs. Superhuman is also a phone app, which is available only on DiOS right now. Because it's not available on Android, you have to use Gmail for your phone, and use Superhuman for your desktop. The search feature could be improved. Currently, Gmail search is a lot more robust because you can filter results based on your requirements. Superhuman does not offer this way of searching which can make emails difficult to find.
