Which subscription should I choose?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

TLDR: Should I choose the standard (i.e. English) Logos Max or one of the other 7 Max subscription plans?

Next week my Logos Pro subscription (continuation of FL Connect) will renew. I already decided months ago that I want to move to a 2 year Max subscription but I just can not decide which of the 7 or 8 Logos/Verbum Max subscription plans I should choose.

I have a multilingual Logos+Verbum library. Even though the desktop software is available in Dutch (my native language) most of the time I have the UI language set to either English or German.

I have tried to compare the different Max subscriptions and it seems that the German Max subscription contains several resources that I do not yet own. Otherwise I do not see much difference.

The price range for the different subscription plans is between $7.85/mo (Korean Max 2 year plan) and $10.23/mo (Standard Max 2 year plan). The cost of a subscription is not really an issue for me at the moment. In fact I wish there would be some kind of Max Ultimate subscription.

I'm on an English Logos Pro subscription for now. Here's why:

German native, but the resouces that matter to me I already own or I have to buy them, because they are not included in any German subscription.

I'm catholic, so I use Verbum. But here the same effect: Most of the stuff I need I already own or it is not included in any subscription, either.

I think I have a modest use of AI credits and for now, I consume mostly less than 20% each month.

When I feel the need for some more Text Critic, this would be the only reason to switch to English Logos Max.

@MJ. Smith Sorry if that wasn't clear. I am on Logos Pro and when the time comes that I'd like to use the Logos Max Textual Criticism Features, I'm going to switch.

A Verbum Pro vs Logos Pro comparison led to choose me for the latter one, although I'm working in the Verbum Desktop and Mobile App. (I'm on Logos Beta which I check occasionaly.)

How much do you use AI stuff? I am intermittently a heavy user for translation. It's slightly more convenient than DeepL + copy/paste. I have Max and have never run out of credit. For 2 years—go Max. Then decide after two years.

The price isn't the problem so much as the annoyance of a subscription. One of these days some brilliant young business-minded person will come up with a marvelous, innovative plan: just buy what you want. People will love that creative idea and smilingly migrate in mass to the brilliant new plan.

Could you explain? I'm not an original language expert by any means but I've not noticed in difference between Verbum and Logos in this area.

@NichtnurBibelleser Sorry I misunderstood - makes perfect sense now.
