Library comparison
I gather that Logos has changed the terminology from "base package" to "library." This is similar to terminology from many years ago (Scholar's Library, Pastor's Library, etc.)
Logos used to have a Web page that would compare the resources in various base packages. The old comparison page takes you to a comparison of subscriptions. Is there any comparison page that would let a user compare what is included in several libraries at one time? This is very helpful for making a purchase decision.

The link that Graham provided is correct. The libraries require a subscription to access.

I understand that a subscription is now required to purchase a library. But in addition to a subscription, I want to buy a library, such as 2025 Gold, 2025 Platinum, 2025 Researcher Gold, etc. The old "base packages" have been renamed "libraries". It used to be that you could select 3 base packages and compare the books in the base package. There is no way that I can find to do this with the new libraries.

This is what I get when I go to the link Graham provided.
This lets me compare features and books in the subscriptions. But I cannot compare Silver, Gold, Platinum etc.

Logos home page -> scroll down to 2025 library --> click on see all ... yes it takes time to see it --> you're there
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I don't think you can see the comparisons for the new libraries if you don't have a subscription. I tried in a test account (no subscription) and I'm not seeing the library comparisons.

I see it compares standard, leader, preacher libraries, but I can't find out how to compare like the Gold library with the Gold leader library and Platinum library, for example. I would love to compare the Gold library and the Gold leader library for example.

I agree. It is the first day of the release, so maybe they will get that added in the coming weeks.

That was my suspicion. Unfortunately, this makes it hard for a person to figure out the combination of library and subscription that would be best fit a budget, now that features have been unbundled from libraries. I thought I saw somewhere that certain libraries require a minimum subscription level.
I hope that FL will add back the library comparison page.

Hey Harry,
I'm pretty sure there is no minimum subscription level for any library. Also, I think I heard you can just put a subscription in your cart to compare libraries without having to purchase first. I would recommend trying that.

That works. Thanks for the idea.
Unfortunately, to advise people, I need to create a fake account. I miss being able to do a larger comparison like before.
I also wish that it was possible to export that comparison into a spreadsheet or print it out. I have to make advice to students many times in a week.
