   Tutanota is end-to-end encrypted, as well offers 1 GB mail storage on free plan. The pro plans are cheap compared to protonmail, so it's better for low budget users

   Tutanota has historically been a lot more transparent, and arguably has been more honest about issues and plans

   Posteo could be a good Protonmail alternative. It offers email encryption in a similar way: Posteo's people, government surveillance and successful hackers won't get into your email content. It also offers a calendar feature, which protonmail users have been crying out for for years.

   Proton is not confidential at all, because it is under the influence of the EU. The best thing you can find for anonymous messaging and file sharing is the Utopia ecosystem (U.IS)
