Yes, the Proton VPN free plan is free forever and is not a limited-time trial. You can use the free plan indefinitely with no time restrictions. It provides basic VPN encryption protection with servers in Japan, the US, and the Netherlands. While the free plan has speed and feature limitations, the core privacy protection features are identical to the paid plans.
Choosing annual billing gives you significant savings. For example, the Plus plan at annual billing is $4.99/mo ($59.88/year), saving approximately 40% compared to monthly billing. Annual billing is paid upfront for the full year, while monthly billing charges each month. Both options offer the same features, but annual billing offers better value.
