Does anyone know if Logos does price matching with competitors.

    No, as the tagging of books adds expense to Logos for their books which competitors do not incur.

    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."

    @Lukas Often Faithlife ebooks pricing mirror publisher ebook deals, although some publishers seem to overlook Faithlife ebooks when extending sale prices to Kindle.

    @Paul Caneparo I was looking at the following study Bible. Olive Tree has a very good price at the moment.

    A $25 savings is a BIG difference on that single resource. Based on some posts, I know that there are some of us who have been getting resources elsewhere for varying reasons… Some for cost, some due to the decisions that Logos has been making and some both of those reasons - as well as some who aren't as clear on their reasoning publicly.

    My suggestion would be to decide how committed you are to Logos and whether you consider it as your sole Bible Study Platform… If so, it may be worth the extra $25 - but if you already have Olive Tree set up as well, I'd personally save the $25 for another book or two. (I say this as a L10 FFS owner, if I was not - I would buy nothing at all from Logos.)

    It’s not an ebook, so highly unlikely to be price-matched. In January of this year, Logos had a very nice sale on study Bibles; maybe you can hold off a bit to see if we’ll get a similar sale next month.

    I have that study Bible which was rebranded by Zondervan.

    As far as Study Bibles go, I have quite a few in Logos, but I’ve also purchased several in Olive Tree due to 1) Price, 2) The format beats Logos 1 million times out of 1 million times and 3) some are not available in Logos.

    As Yasmin says Logos have previously had Study Bible sales. Equally if ot is simply to be read alongside a Bible, the Olive Tree app is great for reading a Bible and Study Bible. As software goes I much prefer Logos, but for simple Bible reading Olive Tree is great.

    Thing is, a Study Bible in a Bible software app isn't like a monograph. I don't think most people "just read" a Study Bible. They look at a verse or pericope, and then they want to see what their various resources have to contribute to the discussion.
