The 30% recurring share is the reason I keep promoting Proton over flat-bounty VPNs. My monthly base has grown steadily as subscribers stick around.

The Swiss jurisdiction and free tier make it an easy recommendation for privacy-minded readers. Conversions are lower volume but the recurring value makes up for it.

The affiliate program is more self-serve than the big networks and creatives are limited. Payments have been correct and the recurring model is genuinely worth it.

The $50 payout threshold means I get paid sooner than with programs that demand $100. The lifetime plan payout is a fun occasional bonus when someone commits.
