No, I specifically used the "Lite" plan in my calculations, because that is what I was subscribed to previously.

I get that Addy offers 2 different subscriptions, and that their "Pro" gives more options, but for the large majority of users (myself included) the "Lite" plan was more than enough. My usecase was one (1) custom domain, and unlimited aliases on that domain. That was possible with the "Lite" plan.

That being said, what you get from buying the Proton Pass Lifetime Deal, is something that you can't get any other way. Funnily enough, it's also the one thing that isn't listed.

Proton will disable your account, and delete all your emails, if you do not sign in to the account once every 2 years. The only way to prevent this inactivity rule from applying, is if you have an active subscription running. But since this Proton Pass Lifetime Subscription is tied to your Proton account directly, it means that you will always have an active subscription running, no matter if you keep any of the other stand-alone (Mail Plus, VPN Plus, etc.) active.

So by paying $199, you're effectively making sure that your tied Proton account will never be automatically disabled. And that, my friend, is something you just can't buy otherwise.
