2 subscriptions: Verbum and Logos. Possible? How much?
I don't understand the payment model in case I want to subscribe to Verbum AND Logos. I have Logos Max (was the one available at the time and I would prefer to keep it).
When I add the Verbum Max to the cart, it shows what appears to be similar to the "Dynamic price" of collections, which would make sense, since most of it is already on Logos Max. But at the bottom it says that next month I would pay full price beginning next month. So, which is it? If I add a subscription to Verbum Max now:
A) I would pay less now, but full price for both (12,99+12,99) next month and from then on?
B) I would pay one full subscription and a 'dynamic price' for the other, let's say around 17 dollars monthly, fixed price? (That would make me signup)
C) I can't have both subscriptions and one of them would be cancelled automatically and it would make a mess on my library etc.
Thanks.

As far as I can tell from my personal experience, you cannot subscribe to Verbum AND Logos at the same time (on the same account). Only one subscription is possible at any time. If you currently have Logos Max, and you subscribe to Verbum Max, you will pay the prorated (reduced) amount for the Verbum Max subscription, and your subscription will change to Verbum Max. Same is true for the localized Logos subscriptions (German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean) - if you subscribe to one of them while having another active subscription, you will pay prorated amount and the new subscription will replace the old one.

@Mateus de Castro I too got excited when I did the same thing. I thought we were being thrown a bone and were going to be able to subscribe to both at a reasonable bump in monthly cost. As Vlad said though, it seems as though we are only able to have one subscription at a time. So, you'd have to cancel Max in order to subscribe to Verbum.
I'd love for the Logos team to work something out in regard to this, I'm certain there's a few users who would love to have both. For the time being, I've stayed with Max because I don't own the EEC commentary series and it's been a nice addition to my library. It's a bummer because I'd love to have some of the resources in Verbum, particularly the Paulist Biblical Commentary, but the price difference of these two resources is staggering. At the moment, it just makes much more economic sense to purchase the Paulist Commentary and rent the EEC.0 -
Thanks brothers. Frank, that's exactly my case. Examples of resources and all.
Hopefully, the Faithlife team will see that there's something here worthy of a good look and propose a solution. Since both subscriptions share features and most resources, a dynamic pricing for using both.
If that causes trouble for display issues, maybe selecting you 'prime' subscription option for display and denominational features first choice on the app (like showing 'homily' or 'sermon' builder etc). Only in case of conflict between features and you have to choose one per app. But it seems unlikely.

I can imagine why FL is trying to limit customers to one subscription. Legacy credit? Discount to what? Or when? And so on.
I suspect the almost-a-year conversion was all the subscriptions and management per user.

My proposition would be a flat fee for a secondary subscription. In the past you were able to subscribe to Connect and Verbum at the same time. I would be willing to pay an additional $5-$10 a month for the Verbum resources and an additional Verbum free book per month. I can't speak for everyone, but I have seen it mentioned a few times. I personally know more than a few people who subscribed to both in the past.
