Is this a good deal for the Legend tier? (tuta.com)

Tuta is having a birthday sale, putting their highest Legend tier at the same price as their second-highest Revolutionary tier, and I'm wondering two things:

  • Is this a good deal for 36€ per year?
  • Is this a deal that comes around every year, or is this a rare sale?

I use addy.io to manage aliases, so the extra addresses are whatever. The custom domains might be nice, since I could potentially(?) use that with Addy. I've been pretty judicious with my free 1GB of space, but having 500GB would be more than comfortable (besides being overkill).

I'm not really interested in getting into self-hosting right now, but I might in the future, so I'm also curious how y'all who self-host email feel about a deal like this. Comparable to the cost of self-hosting? Similar features?

Thanks!

I'm a "Revolutionary" sub, and I bought an annual sub when they had the same price for the "Legendary" tier in Dec. There's no way I'm going to use the extra features, and I'm worried about forgetting to change the tier later.

I do have two domains added, one for my primary email and one for junk. I use a few hundred MB storage, with no chance of going over my current 15GB limit in the next few years.

I signed up for Proton prepaid a while ago and decided the best way to cancel payments was to simply use a masked card with a purchase limit on it. Big mistake. When my paid period ended and a second transaction failed to go through, Proton simply locked my account and all its emails until I prepaid again. I did so, and then I immediately canceled further payments.
