We Make Money When You Sign Up. Here's Everything About That.

The Affiliate Relationship

NoSpyEmail participates in the Proton affiliate program, operated through TUNE (formerly HasOffers). When you click a link on this site and sign up for a paid Proton Mail plan, we earn a commission — currently 30–40% recurring for the duration of your subscription.

This means we earn money every month you remain a paid Proton subscriber. That structure aligns our interests with yours: we want you to stay happy with the product, not just sign up once.

The free Proton Mail plan earns us nothing. We recommend it anyway when it's the right fit.

What We Actually Think of Proton Mail

The site owner — the person writing this — is a paying Proton Mail subscriber. Not a free account kept alive for screenshots. An actual paid plan, used daily, for email that matters: financial correspondence, medical, family, work.

The Rome story on the homepage is real. The ads for hair transplants were real. The switch to Proton happened before this site existed, not because of it.

Proton Mail was chosen as the recommendation because it meets every criterion we evaluate providers against: end-to-end encryption, zero-access architecture, Swiss jurisdiction, open source code, and a subscription business model that doesn't require mining your email for revenue. No other provider we reviewed matched all five.

What the Commission Doesn't Do

• It doesn't change the recommendation. If a better private email provider existed, we'd recommend it — and link to it.
• It doesn't affect your price. The Proton plan costs the same whether you click our link or go directly to proton.me.
• It doesn't create an obligation to push paid plans. The free plan exists and works. We say so.
• It doesn't mean we avoid criticising Proton. If something changes — a data breach, a policy shift, a competitor that overtakes them — this site will say so.

Future Partners

NoSpyEmail may add affiliate relationships with other products in the future — password managers, VPNs, encrypted storage — if they meet the same evaluation criteria. Any such relationship will be disclosed here and inline on the relevant pages.

We will never accept payment to rank a product higher than it deserves, to suppress a negative finding, or to recommend a product we don't use ourselves.

The NoSpy Network

NoSpyEmail is one site in the NoSpy Network, operated by Farsight Digital Technologies. The other sites in the network — NoSpyOnVPN, NoSpyPassword, NoSpyDrive — operate under the same disclosure policy. Each site covers affiliate relationships relevant to its topic.

Why We're Telling You All This

The site exists because surveillance capitalism is real, the default inbox is a privacy disaster, and a straightforward fix exists that almost nobody knows about. Earning a commission for pointing people toward that fix is how the site stays funded.

Hiding that would be a version of the same indifference we criticise in the email providers this site is about. So we don't hide it.
