Does anybody use their sevice? If so why? They seem pretty expensive and you can't pay anonymously or use the free tier via tor/proxy. Also they say dumb shit like "We have invested heavily in owning and controlling our own server hardware at several locations within Switzerland so your data never goes to the cloud."
I use it but not as my main email.
I use it to subscribe to all those services that spam your inbox; e.g. spotify, amszon, linkedin, xing, steam, local restaurants, etc. It also use to be my main email in 2016, so some acquaintances still only have that email, si I should keep it open. Plus, I am on the free plan, so I am not losing anything.
I use Tutanota as my main email; for bank, personal emails, official stuff, important accounts, etc. I am on a paid subscription for Tutanota.
