Swiss privacy-focused technology company Proton AG has launched Proton Workspace, a comprehensive productivity suite positioned as a European alternative to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. According to technology publications reporting on March 31, 2026, the new service bundle includes email, calendar, cloud storage, document editing, spreadsheet software, VPN, password management, and the newly introduced Proton Meet video conferencing platform.
A key differentiator highlighted by Proton is end-to-end encryption across all services, meaning that not even Proton itself can access user data. This privacy-focused approach directly contrasts with major U.S. competitors, with Proton reportedly citing the U.S. Cloud Act as a potential threat to European users' data privacy.
The Proton Workspace standard edition reportedly costs approximately 13-15 euros per month with annual subscription, including 1TB of storage and support for 15 custom email domains. A premium version, priced at around 20-25 euros monthly with annual commitment, includes additional storage and access to Lumo, Proton's AI assistant.
Proton Meet, the video conferencing component, is described as similar to Zoom but with end-to-end encryption and anonymous usage options. According to reports, Proton stores no logs of conversations conducted through the service.
The launch represents Proton's expansion beyond its established email service into comprehensive business productivity tools, emphasizing privacy and security as competitive advantages against established tech giants.
