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!

What they are doing is achieved by both Posteo and Mailbox by encrypting incoming emails at the server with your PGP public key WHILE supporting IMAP/POP3. The email client can then decrypt it with the private key.

Yes, PGP encryption does lack encrypting some stuff (like the subject), but this also will not be an excuse once email providers and clients start using JMAP, which uses HTTPS.

not sure about tuta, but proton doesn't encrypt the subject anyway
