Atomic Blend vs Tuta
Two open, encrypted projects — one is a full suite you can run yourself.
Tuta (formerly Tutanota) is a well-regarded encrypted email and calendar service that is open source and privacy-first. It is a strong choice for secure mail.
Atomic Blend shares the same encrypted, open foundation but goes wider: a single account covers mail, calendar, tasks, and notes — and you can self-host the entire suite, which Tuta does not offer.

| Open sourceProton open-sources its apps, not its backend. | ||

Why people switch from Tuta
A full suite, not just mail
Tuta focuses on mail and calendar. Atomic Blend adds encrypted tasks and notes in the same account.
Self-host the whole thing
Tuta is a hosted service. Atomic Blend can run on your own infrastructure under AGPLv3.
Flat pricing
A flat €2/mo service fee plus metered storage — simple and predictable.
Where Tuta is still the better choice
- A mature, audited encrypted-mail service with a long track record.
- Its own encrypted-search and built-in encrypted calendar.
- A focused, polished email experience.
