I currently use G Suite, and pay $5 per user per month. FastMail honestly looks like a better client than Gmail, but G Suite provides Google Calendar, Drive, and Docs, which all integrate together beautifully. Hard to justify switching to FastMail for the same cost and losing Drive, Docs, and Calendar.

They do have a calendar, which is something lacking from ProtonMail (although I believe they are working on this). ProtonMail has a free plan and if you only need a single custom domain then it's cheaper than FastMail. FastMail only have a free trial but the standard plan covers multiple domains (you have to pay more for extra domains on ProtonMail).

Edit (numbers):

FastMail = $50/yr (https://www.fastmail.com/pricing/)

Up to 100 domains (https://www.fastmail.com/help/account/limits.html)

They also do DNS and static website hosting (but not with HTTPS)

ProtonMail = $48/yr (https://protonmail.com/pricing)

1 domain, extra domains: $18/yr per domain

ProtonMail seems to be focusing on high security and encryption as their value prop. My interest and needs are more in the web interface UX, speed, workflows, customization, Exchange (iPhone push) support.

FWIW FastMail also comes with file storage and notes.
