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.
@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.
So we have a Study Bible sale except the one I was looking at and hoped for a price match.
I know it's not what you want, but the free study Bible is very good.

I know it's no consolation, but I seem to recall them offering a far greater selection of Study Bibles in previous years.
As far as I know it has never been on sale. Its main competitor, Anchor Bible Dictionary is cheaper and even included in libraries. Meanwhile NIDB remains very expensive and unaffordable. I wonder how well it actually sells. Time to approach Abingdon to negotiate a deal on this title?
I have enjoyed many of the Logos courses I have taken, but one thing that has concerned me is that it seemed many of them are becoming outdated - not that the content is outdated, but in that many of the books in the suggested reading are no longer available in Logos, or the reading might be from the 1st edition and now…
I just received 1 & 2 Kings: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (EEC) on prepub - $99.99 plus tax! Yep that ws the prepub price! It gets worse - I look online now, and the price is $94.99 for me. Not logged in, the price is $99.99. Why so expensive a prepub? Shame on me not looking more closely when I bought it. Why no…
I have a few study bibles I use and love. MacArthur, ESV, Reformation, etc…. I love seeing notes for each verse that explain the verse from their perspective. Is there a similar resource that shows the same things but from the Catholic perspective? I've searched and found bibles with footnotes and Bibles with articles but…
Has anyone created a personal book yet of Pope Francis' final encyclical Dilexit Nos? I think it may be ten years before Logos catches up with Francis' works and am wondering if someone else has saved us the effort.
