Will NON SUBSCRIPTION packages such as logos 10 continue to work on mobile?
I'm not going to buy into the subscription packages as they're just too expensive. If I upgrade to Logos 10, will this continue to work with mobile devices? Not just immediately but going forwards? Will Logos commit to keeping the mobile working for non-subscription users?

This has been clarified multiple times by Logos: yes, the bought features of Logos 10 will continue to work and also the programs will be continued to be updated for non-subscribers. Even if you were not to buy Logos 10, there will be the option to use the programs on the various platforms (with your prior owned features or also for users with no extra-bought features at all) - using these and receiving updates to them has been and will continue to be available: for free.
Have joy in the Lord!

Adding, if you do buy some Logos10 packages (currently nicely discounted), the subscription cost can go down, a lot (a perk to current owners). Depends on what level you want. I'm not a good source!

Thank you, that's a relief to know.

The discounted subscription only last 2 years and then it goes to full price, which is pointless for me.

I'm not sure this is factually correct - I think I read someplace that they intend to keep the rebated cost down, and even that the discount will always be in roughly the same proportion to full-price as now, but there were no hard promises on such future prices (no one knows what is in two years).

"In addition to offering monthly and annual terms, you’ll also be able to pay for two years of an annual subscription upfront. This will be a great opportunity to lock in your subscription price for two years and automatically qualify for the Legacy Fallback License (if you own a Logos base package). For example, if you pay for two years upfront in October 2024, your subscription will not renew until October 2026, at which point your subscription will renew at the annual rate. Our annual terms give you the equivalent of 2 months free, and the two-year upfront option provides 5 months free."

You can even do Original Language studies with L10 full features, something that new customers will only be able to do with Logos Max subscription.

This is just stating that you can lock in your price (and a discount of roughly 20% over paying monthly). It does not say whether prices will change during or directly after this time, and in which direction. Moreover, the general idea expressed above the info table, that Logos wants to reward loyal customers and give them a rebate compared to new customers, will make as much sense in two years as it does today, given that Logos is selling much in the existing user base. There is also a business need to convince subscribers to stay on board. I wouldn't expect the relations between price groups to be very different in the future.

It says that it will renew at the"annual rate", not the discount. Plus it clearly says the discount is for two years. There is no guarantee of any discount after 2 years. After 2 years people can use the legacy fallback license or pay the then annual cost.

Not knowing more than you, Simon, but Mark indicated 2 'tracks' (below, 3rd post by Mark):

Thanks for that! That's encouraging. I'd prefer more definite language though rather than that the pricing may change.

While Logos has seemed to be clear that nothing is promised past the two year window (my words, not theirs) - I applaud them for being honestly vague on the future, rather than making promises they may or may not honor past the two year plan. I may be more encouraged otherwise, but I think it is the right move in that one regard.
The area that I would like some level of commitment is the question of how much emphasis will be administered to LFL eligible features between now and October 2026. (Before someone twists my words as usual - I am not asking for EXACT features, but for a commitment to give the same attention to non AI features as is given to AI features) This would make at least the first "go round" of the LFL model more attractive to some on the fence.

That comes from over-reading.
The "annual rate" is simply the applicable subscription renewal after a 2 year paid subscription. The discount track is still applicable after 2 years whilst the 2 year subscription is not applicable after October 2026.
