I believe proton also accepts cash payments. At least I've seen that in their mail service.
I'm not sure if Proton is the same, but with Mullvad you can be super anonymous with cash. You can get an a code from their site and literally just write it on a bit of paper, stuff it in an envelope with some cash and mail it to them with no other way of identifying you. I haven't tried it personally but apparently it works lol.
From their site:
Yeah Mullvad's system is better than Proton's, since the latter asks you to place your username inside the envelope. Mullvad's random token is better in that regard.

Disclaimer: I've never paid in cash on either of these services.
