The base service is free and anyone can sign up for a personal account. ProtonMail also offers a number of upgrades for small to medium businesses and now offers custom addresses for business customers also. While the service was initially quite barebones, the team behind ProtonMail has put a lot of work into incrementally making their service much more user-friendly and inviting over the past year.
