Our verdict on each

Disroot

Disroot suits people who want a free mailbox on their own domain with 2 of cloud alongside it. The trade-off is that email is encrypted in transit only, while Zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption covers the vault, and the free tier is for non-commercial use.

Pros and cons

Disroot

Pros

  • A free plan that puts a mailbox, cloud storage and Cryptpad into a single account
  • Activity logs are cleared after a short window, and several services record nothing at all
  • Open source and run by Stichting Disroot.org under NL law

Cons

  • Mail is encrypted in transit only, so end-to-end protection is a manual step through the Mailvelope browser extension in webmail
  • The free tier tops out at 2 of cloud storage, with set allowances for the mailbox, Cryptpad and attachments, and covers personal, non-commercial use
  • Platforms listed are web and android, so iOS and desktop clients sit outside what is supported

Surfshark One (Antivirus)

Pros

  • Extras include a VPN, so protection and privacy arrive on one subscription (vpn)
  • Covers 5 devices on Windows, macOS and Android
  • A trial of 7 days lets you test the paid tier first

Cons

  • No free version, so a subscription is the only way to run the protection
  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone line among them
  • 5 devices sits under the group median of 7

Who each suits

Disroot

Who it suits

  • People who want a free personal mailbox on a custom domain
  • Readers who like open source software and short log retention
  • Anyone who wants the vault's totp codes and encrypted storage beside their mail

Who should look elsewhere

  • Business users, since the free plan limits are for non-commercial use
  • Apple Hide My Email readers, whose free plan limits exclude the service because it arrives only with a paid storage tier
  • addy.io users who just need forwarding, since unlimited standard aliases fit that narrower job

Surfshark One (Antivirus)

Who it suits

  • Readers who already pay for a VPN and want malware protection on the same bill
  • Households that fit within 5 covered devices
  • People who want one subscription across security tools rather than several separate buys

Who should look elsewhere

  • Apple Inc. users, who get security features across iOS, iPadOS and macOS from the operating system itself
  • Comodo (Xcitium) users who need room for 50 devices on a single plan
  • ESET Brasil readers after a different first-year quote, since its first-year price is BRL 64.22

Questions about each

Disroot

What does the Disroot free plan include?+

There is a free plan, and it covers more than mail: a mailbox, cloud storage and Cryptpad space in a single account. The cloud portion alone is 2, alongside set allowances for the mailbox, for Cryptpad and for message attachments. Paid tiers sit above this for heavier use.

Is Disroot email encrypted end to end?+

Not by default. Email is secured in transit, and message-level encryption is something you turn on yourself with the Mailvelope browser extension in webmail. The vault is the part that carries Zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption, so files stored there are protected without extra setup.

Surfshark One (Antivirus)

What does Surfshark One cost at the start and after renewal?+

The first-year price is €75.33, and the monthly option is listed at €2.49. Set the opening figure against the group median of €49.95. What a renewal costs depends on the checkout terms, so the total shown at the point of payment is the figure to check.

Does the plan include a VPN or is that bought separately?+

A VPN is bundled into the same plan and listed among the extras, so antivirus and privacy cover arrive on one subscription rather than two. That bundling is what separates this offer from antivirus sold on its own. Around 97.1% of the products in this group also bundle a VPN.
