Is Logos going to price match Olivetree with their $99 dollar offer on Tyndale Commentaries

Although it would be nice, as a general rule Faithlife does not price-match.

Jack, as already mentioned, price matching isn't a usual and customary practice at Logos/FaithLife. The backoffice machinery of deal making in the publishing business means that OliveTree may strike a better deal than FaithLife for a particular resource, or bundle of resources for a limited time frame. Alternately, some companies are willing (and able) to take a loss on a resource to attract buyers to their other products (known as a "loss leader").
All that to say this: The Price Match question is a recurring theme in the forums, and I can't think of an instance when it has worked favorably for us.

May I remind everyone that while Faithlife/Logos doesn't forbid mentioning other bible software, they don't want active links to potential competitor sites. We are playing in Bob's house here. Thanks.

My posting was not to encourage anyone to go to Accordance, simply point out that the price in Logos is not being undercut by one publisher but that it is a standard price, hoping Faithlife would look into it. Something similar happened years ago with Logos charging an outrageous price for McGee's through the Bible, within a few months of it being pointed out they were charging a similar price. The hope is that Faithlife can look into this and gain a better agreement with the publishers. And Accordance is not as much a bargain when you realize that you would need to purchase the program. I do apologize for posting the link, which was a violation but for the above reason I did not think anyone would be encouraged to purchase it there and just wanted to point out the OT price is not unusual.
Totally mean this in fun; not snarky! Own and use both Logos and Olive Tree. Don't think Morton's is going to price match Outback, but I can get my daily protein requirement with a steak from either.
Remember that Tyndale Commentaries in the Logos "ecosystem" is an entirely different product available elsewhere. Faithlife's sophisticated tagging provides us a massive, interlinked library that is unparalleled.

If all you are after is your daily protein requirement a can of beans will do.
OT = beans, Logos = steak

This made me smile since my diet (food) has been high on beans. Therefore, I agree that a can of beans can certainly suffice. I can say that with my food diet, people can tell that I'm in good health, but they certainly wouldn't know whether I've been subsisting on beans or steak. So for sole purpose of spiritual health, a can of beans can certainly do the same as steak. There may be other benefits to having beans over steak
Okay, the allegory is breaking down. As a vegetarian bean-eater I'm cool with that!
The thing is Logos is tagged to an extent that few, if any, of its competitors are. Tagging is a pretty intense operation and costly. That means that inevitably the Logos version is going to cost more, but if, like me, linking resources is important, then it's money well spent.
Every blessing
