Need More Info
Now that Logos Cloud has dropped, the info on the plans at LogosCloud.com are still too ambiguous for me to choose the correct plan to start off on.
I need an exhaustive comparison chart of the current resources available in each of the Logos Cloud tiers, as well as which Logos Cloud tier or tiers have all the features of Logos Now.
I am interested in Logos Cloud, and I may be able to start with a smaller tier and grow into a larger tier after my L6 base collection is paid off, but unless I have specifics about what resources each tier contains, I have no idea on which collection to signup for.
I know Logos is going to be adding more resources to the service as time goes on, and as much of a pain as it is to keep updating the resource lists, we're not interested in a "signup and see what you end up with" service. We'd like to know specifically what we're getting when signing up.
Thanks!

Jacob, has the files been updated for the new resources added this month, and will you be rolling a set of files for the new Professional collection (just curious on what I'm missing out at $100/month). :-)
Thanks!

Nathan,
All the files have now been updated. I've also added a collection and pdf file for the Professional Collection.
Sounds great. How do I update to the latest copies of the files inside Logos? Thanks!

Nathan,
Thanks for the feedback. I've created two types of documents to make it easier for everyone to see exactly what resources come in which packages. Below, you will find collection and bibliography files (pdf) for all four levels:
Collections:
Essentials
Plus
Premium
Professional
PDF:
Essentials
Plus
Premium
Professional
I intend to keep these up-to-date as the resource licensing changes over time.
Thanks for the info. That REALLY helps.
Two quick questions:
1. Which Cloud level has all the features of Logos Now?
2. Which Cloud level has all the EEC volumes? It seems Essential has some some them.

All the Logos Now features are available in Premium. At the moment, all but the New Testament Manuscript Explorer and the Greek Grammatical Constructions Dataset are available in Plus.
I can't make any promises about the rest of the series, but at the moment the following EEC volumes are available in Essentials:
This is true of all packages (i.e., no additions to plus or premium; the same 8).
Thanks for the info. I definitely want those two Now features, so I'd either need Premium or keep Logos Now on top of my Cloud subscription.
On those EEC commentaries, are those the same 8 I'd get if I direct purchased EEC or would I get more with the direct purchase?
Thanks!

Jacob,
I think you should reconsider FAQ #9 "Can I get a list of resources?" (by the way, numbering them and/or putting a TOC on top of the FAQ page, thus enabling direct links to individual sections would make this FAQ page much more convenient when directing users to it ). Especially since you (Faithlife) want to aim at new users without a many-year trust relationship, the current answer will probably deemed inadequate. This answer might still be worded in a way that you don't promise a certain book which for a weird reason then becomes unavailable, however I think the FAQ should (at least) direct inquiring users to follow the group and see your bibliography documents.
If I wasn't a Logos user, this list would be the information I'd look for when deciding about this (especially since installation of software. a multi GB download and time consuming indexing is between deciding to give it a try and actually seeing the power of it).

I'm getting no information when I click on Premium under Collections. All I get is "Your copy of this document is up to date". Under Biography, everything seems to work OK. Is there any say to see what resources are available in Premium. I'm certainly not going in this direction until I know what I'm getting.

A collection is something you can use in your L6 library to see which products belong.
Erm, this?
It will give you all of them (not in a nice list, though)

That's not the point. I know what is in my library. I want to know (and surely anyone wanting to subscribe to Cloud) what are the resources you get when you subscribe, in this case to the Premium level. I cannot believe that Logos is expecting new users to subscribe to this sight unseen. There is absolutely no information on the web-site as to what resources you get when you subscribe. And even if there is a list somewhere in the forums, that certainly is not the place a new user is going to look. This is ridiculous.
