Frustrated former Wordsearch Customer
I am a new customer who integrated with Logos' purchase of Wordsearch. I wanted to let you know how disappointed I am with your software.
First, when the integration happened, I purchased the silver package which also gave me the full function software. Then the new version came out and I was going to have to pay more just to keep the package that I had. Because I didn't upgrade to the new silver package, I was no longer a silver package holder and I had to pay more so that I had the full features. The reason I was told is that new resources were added. So, I previously had and paid for the silver package, but when the new software came out I no longer owned the Silver package. I guess this will happen each time the software is updated
Second, your prices for the very same resources in Wordsearch are much higher. I could afford to purchase new resources in Wordsearch but can't afford it now. Also, the cost to upgrade to your new software is 3 times what it would cost us to upgrade to new versions of Wordsearch.
Also, I am very disappointed with the user friendliness of Logos. Wordsearch was much more user friendly. I was speaking to someone at Logos this morning and they hit the nail on the head. My impression as a new Logos customer is that I feel like Logos was developed by computer software developers to be used by computer software developers. And Wordsearch was developed to require basic computer skills that anyone can comfortably use. As a Pastor, to be honest with you, I dread trying to write a sermon using Logos. I know that I am still trying to learn how to use it all, but it has actually made my sermon writing more difficult, not easier.
Also, many of my Wordsearch resources have yet to be transferred to Logos. I know that takes time, but some resources from some commentary sets have been transferred and some haven't.
So most of the time I still use Wordsearch instead of Logos.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Gary,
I am sorry you are frustrated. I can definitely understand the radical difference in Wordsearch and Logos being pushed on you so suddenly would be overwhelming, and I think it would have been nice for them to wait to announce the Wordsearch merger until Logos 9 was in place. If I had been yanked from Logos to Wordsearch, I would probably feel much of the same!
On your first point, you are a Logos 8 Silver owner no matter what, once you have purchased it. You will have access to every feature you currently have, and they will continue to upgrade the software in perpetuity. You will not get all of the new features given in 9 or later, but you will never lose what you have. If you want to upgrade to a later version, you get a prorated price based on what you already own (both in features and in books).Second, there is no denying this. Logos is more expensive. Logos has more extensive capabilities than Wordsearch, powered by the extensive tagging they do beneath the surface, but there is undeniably a sticker shock coming from Wordsearch, Olive Tree or Accordance.
Third, I think this is really a matter of perspective. I got Wordsearch in seminary and found it extremely counter-intuitive. I think it is probably like riding a horse with English or western reins. If your muscle memory goes one way and now you are in a new system, it is tough. With how much you have invested in Logos, it would be worthwhile to go to LearnLogos.com and use their training. They do free webinars, but they also have a complete, hands on training for $60, with interactive tutorials that will walk you through every single feature in the whole software. If there is anything specific you need help with, the forums are very active.
Finally, that is also true. But I assume the powers that be decided that getting you what they had ASAP was better than making you wait until the whole series was ready. They do have a page showing the progress of specific resources.

Sorry you are frustrated Gary. [:s]
I will let others chime in on most of what you have written, but for clarification:

You always keep what you buy. You haven't lost anything. You still have the features and resources you purchased. It is true that if you want the NEW features (which require a purchase), you will need to pay. Otherwise, you can wait until the free L9 engine is made available and you will gain access to the new features which do not require a purchase.

I agree with everything said by those who have already replied, but I wanted to reiterate the point concerning levels of packages between editions, as this has come up before. L9 Silver has no practical relationship to L8 Silver. You have L8 Silver, and you will never lose it. There is no reason for you to buy L9 Silver unless you want those resources that are included in the package. Otherwise, you can purchase any other package you want or none at all.

Indeed Logos is annoying, expensive, counter intuitive, and generally an indirect piece of software that takes several steps where one could suffice. However, it doesn't matter since the business model of the company is making money (I suppose) and its not going to change unless the ownership changes. In a way my best advice is to accept the world of bells, whistles, fancy charts, predigested pabulum databases, and settle down for the ride...if you can.

I find it amazing that there isn't a rival, economical, intuitive, and generally direct piece of software that uses only one step where one step is required; all produced by a company that is totally altruistic.
Surely such a company could undercut Logos, grow its user base exponentially, and even have the owners end up in heaven having done such a good job.
But then again I am just a hopeless romantic.

There is little I would add to what has already been said, except this.
I also came from Wordsearch and had many of the complaints you have voiced, all of which have been addressed, except maybe a plug for mpseminars.com which has been my most effective tool in settling into Logos for me. (specific Wordsearch to Logos webinars here https://mpseminars.com/webinars/wordsearch/ )
Following the move, I started off excited, turned bitter and eventually settled in to satisfaction, but the crucial piece in moving from one to the other was training.
"Sticker Shock", I think there will be no cure for because Logos is certainly expensive, but it became easier to stomach, for me, as I learned to make it generate what I want and not the pre-digested stuff, also learning to monitor sales, packages and dynamic pricing has helped for me.0 -

Will try to explain. Each level in each upgrade is totally independent of what went on before.
There are features and there are libraries.
If the "silver" level was where you should be then what you MIGHT want to maintain is a "silver" level features. This is the functionality of the "new" upgrade. As that is the level of "studies" that you might perform. The feature level has "some" relationship upgrade to upgrade.
The library level of "silver" changes with each upgrade. It has no relationship with the "silver" level of prior upgrades. It is just what they called the "silver" level of this upgrade. To some extent they try to make each level of libraries have the same cost differences between upgrades. [silver > gold]
Some programs have distinct differences with different levels. With Logos only the names stay the same between upgrades. I have slid from "gold" to "silver" as I have most of the resources that I need. But I purchase the full feature upgrades for functionality.

Were you told that you could get your money back on Logos 8 if you bought it within a certain time (maybe 60 days) before Logos 9 was announced? That could be worthwhile, but only if the extra you pay now to upgrade to Logos 9 is more than the difference between the full price of both Logos 8 and Logos 9 Silver i.e. upgrading from Logos 8 could be cheaper than getting your money back and then purchasing L9 Silver.
L9 Silver (Library + Features) has much to desire, such as all the datasets, complete 13 volume Carta map collection + 7 volume Counseling collection to go with the Counseling Guide.

The timing of the Wordsearch intro and the L9 launch could disgruntle someone. You buy in and then there's another feature set upgrade right away. Frankly if you bought in at half price, you really got a deal and there's no rush to upgrade Logos. So relax.
Logos is a learning curve. After a decade, I don't think I've gotten all that far. However, it's still pretty darn easy to have at it and you can always go back to where you were when you got lost.
Give yourself some slack and ramp up with your transition. Logos is the most powerful way to do Bible study but this is something you grow into as you put it to use. It's not a race and you can run your WS until you are comfortable working in Logos. I dropped WS ages ago and transitioned away from several other programs. There's still plenty in Logos that is still mystery to me. Big deal. When you use the Passage Study Layout it unwraps everything for you in seconds. But you can't eat fast. So linger and enjoy it.

Not so hard to find a product without such an amazing and romantic approach considering the market is monopolized by a company (or ministry or dating service or TV station or college book publisher) who can charge up to $10k for digitized public domain products. Of course the good old days of Standard Oil and Robber Barons as guiding examples in the free market is surely missed as they were just doing gods will through their ministries of profit accumulation. I suppose further discussion of the obvious will lead to some sort of forum violation.

You seem to be bitter at Faithlife because you see them as a ministry which has sold out in order to make a profit. Faithlife is a business first, which happens to sell ministry software. I for one am glad that they are making money, because with the money I have invested in the company, I want them to stay around for a long time so that I don't lose my investment.
As far as selling public domain works for $10k, I don't see that, as I usually buy public domain books in larger packages, like base packages, which end up making resources a couple of dollars each. They do charge a premium for their "added value," and sometimes it is higher than I might expect, but they offer several ways to pay less than full price on most resources (sales, packages, free books, Pre-pub, CP, etc...).
Indeed Logos is annoying, expensive, counter intuitive, and generally an indirect piece of software that takes several steps where one could suffice.
It does sometimes take several steps to do simple tasks. This is the way it is with any professional software, as adding a lot of features requires making judgments on how many items to put out front, and then in the first menus, and then sub menus, etc... Often times there is a quicker way through shortcuts and such. If you have ever used profession video or picture editing software, or any professional Adobe software, then you have the same feeling. Even Microsoft Office products off shortcuts that have to be learned in order to work efficiently.

Rene, Rene, Rene. You didn't seriously think you could say something negative about FL, and not precede it by saying how you love Logos oh so much, except for just a tiny little detail. Did you not expect the Logosian troops to arrive shortly, tearing each sentence apart with glee, all the while praising Mother Logos forever and ever.
I DO have to wonder, at each major upgrade (and in-between) why FL marketing can't do their Christian mission thing, and be up-front with their own customers ... this thread is right on schedule.

Yup - Wordsearch isn't the first software company that was under-capitalized and under-sold its products. It's not that Faithlife gouges anyone, but that other companies (Wordsearch among them, perhaps) so undervalued their products that they couldn't stay in business.

I have simply offered my opinion about a product that I have used for decades....nothing more, nothing less, no hidden meaning, no underlying bigger agenda. As a user what and how the company designs their product is up to the company. If the goal is to sell more products to me then the product will take into account my observations...if not then my money stays in my pocket unless I have no other choices in the market.

Yeah I get it. Personally I don't care if Logos has Christians, is Christian, hopes to be Christian or some variation of such themes. Its about a product that I am deeply frustrated with due to issue that was expressed by the person who started the thread. The presence of money and god talk has been a regular theme in Western Christendom for awhile I believe.

As has been stated above by many, with Logos, when you buy a book, it is yours. The software itself is free. That said, to get all the Logos features, you need to buy those features, and the datasets associated with them. When a new version comes out, Logos adds features and datasets to try to make you want to upgrade. If these added features are worth the money for you, you are free to buy them. If not, you will get a free upgrade to the software in a few months anyway, and almost always the new software will have all the features you had in the old version without paying more.
When a new version comes out, Logos reworks the base packages.On the one hand, Base Packages are the best deal/sale on Logos resources, and it is wise to take advantage of this when a new package comes out. On the other hand, it is very tempting to want to maintain your "level" with the next package, or to move up a level. And Faithlife uses this rather aggressively in their marketing - which has been so excessive that the Babylon Bee has rightfully made fun of it. You have to remember that it is only a good deal if it has things you want, but do look at https://www.logos.com/search?page=1&sortBy=PriceLow&limit=60&filters=status-live_Status%2Bproducttype-basepackages_Product%20Type%2Blanguage-english_Language&ownership=unowned&geographicAvailability=availableToMe for deals that make sense for you.
Other good deals can be found in various Library Expansion collections, especially if they go on sale. In addition there are sales like March Madness that can be good.

Ok [Ken McGuire]... I keep hearing that we can buy "features".... so how does one buy the "Bible Browser Feature" and what would be the cost of it? If it is available only in a "package" then what "package must one buy to get that ("Bible Browser") feature?
I would guess it's only available in a "package" at a "reasonably price" which many Logos developers feel is reasonable. ... Not trying to be sarcastic ... Just pointing out what us WS people do feel....
So I call Logos Sales 1-888-599-1233 and that ("Bible Browser") feature is only available in the "Silver Package" which with my discount will cost me $322.59 thru the 25th of this month.... After that it will cost me $548.32. Of course, going to the "Silver Package" there are some other features I would get.... but my point is .. every time I have asked about a "feature to buy" I get the "in a package deal at a package deal price". So I don't understand why people in Logos want to say you can buy features.... when me specifically have not been able to do so....
What am I missing?

Using the 2nd link in Floyd's post, I scrolled to near the bottom of the web page where it shows four different features packages. From what I can see, the Bible Browser feature is available starting in the Bronze features package.
Assuming you're logged in to your Faithlife account when on that page, selecting any one of the feature set packages should show you what your dynamic upgrade price would be for that package.

Thanks Floyd Johnson for your suggestion.... so I called a 2nd time to Logos Sales and asked about the "features only" and again was told the "Bible Browser" is in the Silver Package which going the "features only" route will cost me $188.00.
And guote me "there is no way one can buy a feature without buying some kind of package at the package price"...
So, I suggest instead of telling people from WS that they can buy "features" which they can't, be honest and tell them they have to buy packages...which they do.
Just my 2 cents... which after inflation is probably only 1/4 cent.... IMHO [:S]

I think you are speaking Wordsearchese rather than Logonese. I would be surprised if anyone said or implied that one could by each feature independently. Features come bundled into groups ... much less overhead involved. However, when speaking Logonese, package is normally used for the Base packages - groups of library resources with optional feature bundles. By your own account, you were offered a features only option so you can purchase features only. Yes, FL terminology is complex and inconsistent ... you'll soon learn the language and be less frustrated by misunderstandings.

What am I missing?
I have had times where I have been frustrated that a feature I have wanted is buried in a bundle of stuff I don't care for. At times this has convinced me to get a bundle, but at times I have held off because the package includes a lot of stuff I don't want to pay for. This is life in our economic system. And yes, wise companies don't frustrate their customers too much.
Unfortunately, right now the Logos website does not have all of its features working. Specifically, it is not showing me what would include a product. So https://www.logos.com/product/183819/bible-browser-tool does not show me the full list of packages that include it - and admittedly, for the tool to be useful, you would need various datasets too. But to me it looks like it is in Bronze and up, so look at https://www.logos.com/product/195568/logos-9-bronze-feature-upgrade and other feature Upgrades: https://www.logos.com/feature-upgrades
Also look at the Academic Feature set from https://www.logos.com/product/195534/logos-9-academic-essentials which I thought was available separately, but cannot find right now. This feature set when you add the free Logos Basic rental for Reverse Interlinears has a LOT of the bells and whistles.
Especially if you went with full features in version 8, these feature upgrades should cost a LOT less than the $322.59 you were quoted.
Look at "renting" features through https://connect.faithlife.com/pricing. You may very well find that it would be cheaper to rent full features than to pay for all the new ones every two years.
Is the whole pricing system Byzantine with buy/rent and dynamic pricing based on what you already own? Yes. For better or worse, it has turned into a wacky, but flexible system - one that when upgrades come out, I spend a LOT of time on the web page figuring out what is best for me.

So, I suggest instead of telling people from WS that they can buy "features" which they can't, be honest and tell them they have to buy packages...which they do.
Any existing Logos customer who wants to upgrade to Logos 9 can choose a feature-only upgrade.
A new customer would need to purchase a base package (as Logos features and tools depend on some resources such as bibles, dictionaries, lexicons, commentaries). They couldn't just buy a Logos feature set, and expect Logos to work without any resources at all.
Are you trying to use some special promotion for WS customers that has limitations associated with the offer? Perhaps the offer can only be used to purchase a base package?
If so, check the feature-only price via the store without using any coupon code, to get an idea how much the promotional offer might be saving you. A large enough discount might make purchasing a package a better deal, than just purchasing a feature set without any promotional savings.
If you decide you want to buy the L9 features without an L9 library, make sure you own an existing version of Logos (such as the free Logos 8 Basic), then simply upgrade to your desired L9 feature set (without using any limited offer that would only apply to base package purchases).
Hope that clears up any confusion.
Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

To further complicate the muddy water, you can rent features and books: https://connect.faithlife.com/pricing. There used to be a great option to rent features only and get them all for $100/yr, but that has been discontinued unless you are already a subscriber (I guess it was too great!). The Bible Browser is included in the "starter" for $8.99/month. The problem is that, unlike buying a package, the rental plans do not prorate your price based on what you already own.

Hi Gary,
I echo what others have said on here, and I wanted to chime in on alleviating some of your frustrations:
1. You always own your existing “Silver” package, no matter what. It is mainly a collection of books (plus the feature sets). It is not a status that you lose with any Logos upgrade.
2. You can actually upgrade to the Logos engine for free with each major release (it just doesn’t have all of the features). It’s similar to “Wordsearch Basic” where you can download the latest Logos engine free with any major release. Logos usually waits and releases the free engine update after enough paid users upgrade so as not to have everyone slamming the Logos servers at once.
3. To get all of the features with every major Logos release, you can upgrade to the “Logos Full Feature Set” instead of a Logos collection. That is the best equivalent to paid Wordsearch upgrades and far more cost-effective than a Logos library if you don’t want the extra books.
4. The Logos libraries are closest to what Wordsearch offered in the Preaching/Teaching libraries where Logos bundles all of the features plus a collection of books, similar to how Wordsearch bundled the Wordsearch engine with a collection of books. They’re a great way to upgrade to the latest version of Logos and get a ton of books, but there are other upgrade paths if you just want the features without the books.
5. Overall, Logos will cost more than Wordsearch. Some of the deals Wordsearch gave me I’ll never see again with Logos. It’s sad I won’t see those deals again, but I’m just thankful for what I did order from them. The tradeoff is you’ll get a far more powerful engine, far more features and resources (including from a team of Bible scholars), overall better quality books, and the company will be in business for the long run and protect your investment to ensure it continues to work with major technology changes.
6. LearnLogos.com is a great resource for learning Logos. I use it all the time, and John is fantastic (he used to work for Logos). Morris at MPSeminars.com is good too. I’ve had in-person training with him as well.
7. Logos has a way to check on the status of your library migration. I’m watching mine as well as the resources trickle in.
8. I still plan to keep Wordsearch on my old iMac for legacy purposes, so if I I need it for something critical, I’ll have it.

I'm still perplexed as to why customer service is telling you you need the Silver features package. When I look at the Bronze feature package (one level below Silver), it shows the Bible Browser is included.Thanks Floyd Johnson for your suggestion.... so I called a 2nd time to Logos Sales and asked about the "features only" and again was told the "Bible Browser" is in the Silver Package which going the "features only" route will cost me $188.00.

I don't know what's going on there, but that Salesperson should know that "Bible Browser" is also in the cheaper L9 Bronze feature set. See the deal for yourself, and apply any coupon code (if available) in the shopping cart.

I don't why I'm being told "Silver" either.... but I called 2 x and was told he same thing by 2 different sales people.... I don't mind mistakes.... I make some myself.... but trends are different... and I would think when I am told "Silver" by 2 different sales people... who should know pricing and packages.. well... I call it a trend... right or wrong.
One of the issues, I think, with WS people is that we were inadvertently placed into some package, no matter what we had in WS... I just think that overall... we were placed in too low a package.... INHO...
Thanks again for your comments.
Edit: So I called Logos Sales a third time and verified that Bible Browser feature is only available in Silver Package.... Them sales people seemed to stick together on that.... [:'(]
