Faithlife COnnect

I want to express my complete and utter dissatisfaction and frustration over what Faithlife is doing to Logos Now. Logos just keeps raising and raising the prices on their services. Now, the problem with me is that they are raising prices on features that, for the past years since Logos 7 has been out, I have been using. 

The email does not really tell you this information but I called Logos and spoke with a CS Rep to see what I would be missing unless I wanted to come off of another $100 a year. Because those of you that have Logos Now at the present moment that just subscribed you to the starter feature set; so that when your subscription renewal comes due and unless you come off of the money you will lose the following (and I am sure that this is not all); Sermon Editor, Bible Browser, Concordance, Active Lemma and those are just the ones that were named to be quickly. These are things that I use everyday of my life and unless I come off another $100 I will lose and it does not seem right. 

So you double my price for the same features that I currently have? I do not know how Faithlife can call this godly, ethical business. 

And I ask that all Logos Now users ring the phones and post on forums your displeasure in what Logos is trying to do. Many have already posted on the Faithlife Connect Forum...and there was not one person who was not displeased..Hopefully Bob and the other decision makers in this will see the displeasure and reverse this; I guess we will see what Faithlife cares more about; people or money.

    I believe those three tools all moved from subscription-only to being included in the L7 Full Feature Set. Someone at FL should be able to verify that.

    The subscription-only features include lemma in passage, and morph query, along with any datasets which are part of L8 early release.

    According to Phil, "There may end up being a few small things that just don't make sense outside of a subscription, but for the most part just about everything should be available as a perpetual license in Logos 8."

    P.S. You can apparently switch from Logos Now to Verbum Now to get almost the same benefits*, at the same price.

    *There are a couple things in Logos Now that aren't in Verbum Now. Likewise, Verbum Now contains a few things that aren't in Logos Now. I have no idea exactly what is different.

    Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

    They are in the Full Feature Set (FFS) but you have to pay 2.4x your current Logos Now subscription to retain them in Connect Essentials, unless you own the FFS OR transfer to Verbum Now.. You will lose them in Connect Starter unless owned.
