Logos Bible Software has become essential for preachers, teachers, and anyone committed to serious Bible study. With the introduction of its subscription model, Logos has lowered the barrier to entry while continuing to provide the advanced tools and resources that make it the gold standard in Bible software. If you’ve been hesitant about investing in Logos, this new plan might be the perfect opportunity to jump in.

A Key Note About Your Library
With Logos, you still own your library and will always retain access to any books you’ve purchased. The subscription model changes how you access feature sets, the tools that power your Bible study, like search capabilities, Workflows, and the Sermon Builder. These feature sets, which were traditionally included or updated in each new version of Logos (e.g., Logos 9 or Logos 10), are now available as part of the subscription plan. This means you’re paying for ongoing access to the latest tools and innovations while your library remains yours forever.

Why the Logos Subscription is a Big Deal

1. Affordable and Flexible Tiers

Logos now offers three subscription options to fit your budget and needs:

Premium ($9.99/month or $99.99/year): Ideal for Bible study enthusiasts and small group leaders.

Pro ($14.99/month or $149.99/year): Designed for pastors and teachers.

Max ($19.99/month or $199.99/year): Tailored for scholars and those working with original languages.

2. Constantly Growing Library

Premium includes one free book per month.

Pro and Max include two free books per month.

Over a year, that’s 12–24 high-quality resources added to your library, giving you more tools without additional cost.

3. Exclusive Discounts and Features

Subscribers receive a 5% discount on store purchases, making it easier to grow your library strategically. You also gain access to Logos’ latest tools and updates as they’re released.

4. Full Feature Set Access

Logos’ core tools, such as the Sermon Builder, Factbook, and Workflows, are included in every subscription tier. These tools streamline everything from sermon prep to in-depth Bible study.

5. Integration with Your Print Library

Pro and Max subscribers can search their physical books alongside their digital library. This feature is a game-changer for anyone with an extensive print collection.

6. Rotating Mobile Ed Courses

Starting in 2025, subscribers will have access to rotating Mobile Ed courses refreshed quarterly, adding even more value for lifelong learners.

How the Subscription Model Compares to the Old Editions

Here’s a quick breakdown of the costs and benefits:

Old Model

1. Logos Silver Package: $999, Permanent access to a mid-level library, no updates.
2. Logos Gold Package: $1,549, Permanent access to a larger library, no updates.
3. Logos Platinum Package: $2,149, Permanent access to even more resources, no updates.

Subscription Model

1. Premium Tier: $99.99/year, Core library, one free book/month, 5% discount.
2. Pro Tier: $149.99/year, Expanded library, two free books/month, print integration.
3. Max Tier: $199.99/year, Extensive library, two free books/month, print integration.

Why the Subscription Wins:

For the price of a one-time Platinum package, you could enjoy over 10 years of a Max subscription. During that time, you’d receive continuous updates, 240 free books, and access to new features—all without having to buy upgrades.

My Experience with Logos

I use Logos extensively in my preaching, teaching, and writing, and the subscription model has made it even more convenient. Here’s why it works for me:

• Flexibility: The ability to integrate print books into my library has saved me time and money.

2. Take Advantage of Discounts
