The next major version of Logos will launch this fall as a subscription.

The three subscription tiers are designed to fit the main ways people use Logos: small group prep (Logos Premium), sermon prep (Logos Pro), and academic and original language study (Logos Max). Our hope is to give users exactly what they need—no more, no less. We want users to feel like their Logos subscription exactly fits their needs.

These subscriptions will replace Preaching Suite, Faithlife Connect, and other Logos feature sets. Libraries will still be available for purchase separately (e.g., Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc.). New Libraries will only be available to Logos subscribers, however Legacy Libraries will be available to everyone.

Perpetual feature licensing, in some form, will remain a component of our new subscription model. We’re still working out the details of how everything will come together. However, the focus will be on the subscription product. As always, the features and content you’ve purchased are yours forever and accessible with or without a subscription.

The world is changing fast, and customers have told us that they don’t want to have to wait two years to get new and improved features that would help them get deeper insights in less time. As a result, Logos must evolve to enable truth seeking at the same pace as the world we live in. With a subscription, you’ll get new features and improvements as soon as they’re ready—no more waiting for two years.

We’ll also be able to respond to your needs faster, turning good features into great ones and releasing new capabilities created to meet specific needs. Plus, we can include advanced AI and cloud-backed features that require ongoing support and help make Logos both easier to use and more powerful so that you can focus on understanding and communicating Scripture. You’ll also enjoy valuable perks and lower upfront costs, making it easier to try Logos without a big commitment.

A Legacy Fallback License allows you to keep offline features when you cancel your subscription after 24 consecutive months. Instead of falling back to a free or previous version* of Logos, you'll keep features from your subscription tier that don't rely on the cloud or AI.

* If you’ve already purchased Logos packages or feature sets, those are yours to keep—you won’t lose them. You’ll continue to be able to use the features you’ve paid for.

If you’ve ever purchased a Logos base package*, you’ll be eligible to earn the Legacy Fallback License after you’ve subscribed for 24 consecutive months.

*Logos Fundamentals does not qualify as a base package

If you cancel your subscription after you’ve subscribed for 24 months, you’ll be given a Legacy Fallback License automatically. After receiving the Legacy Fallback License, you will no longer receive future feature improvements or new features. Bug fixes and compatibility updates are always free for all users, so your software will keep working long into the future.

No, the Legacy Fallback License allows you to retain access to Logos features, but it won’t give you permanent ownership to books.

If you cancel your subscription before you have subscribed for 24 months, your time will be reset to 0, and you'll need to subscribe for 24 months before receiving a Legacy Fallback License.

If you upgrade your subscription, you’ll receive the Legacy Fallback License for your original subscription after 24 months. And 24 months after you upgrade your subscription, you’ll receive the Legacy Fallback License for your upgrade.

If you downgrade your subscription, you’ll receive the Legacy Fallback License for your downgraded subscription 24 months after your initial subscription date.

More information about the Legacy Fallback License perk is coming soon.

Your qualifying period starts when you begin your subscription or free trial. However, the Legacy Fallback License won't be available until October 2026. After 24 consecutive months, even if it is before October 2026, you'll be eligible to receive the Legacy Fallback License associated with your subscription tier.

For example: if you subscribed to Logos Pro (Early Access) via a 30-day free trial on June 1, 2024, after renewing on May 1, 2026 (your 24th consecutive month), you will receive the license in October 2026 as soon as it is available.

No, your investment in Logos is safe, and you’ll always be able to access your content in Logos for free.

You aren’t required to subscribe to keep your access to content or features you already own. The subscription is for anyone who wants access to the latest version of Logos which will get new features or improvements roughly every six weeks.

If you’ve already purchased Logos packages or feature sets, those are yours to keep—you won’t lose them. You’ll continue to be able to use the features you’ve paid for, regardless of whether you subscribe to the latest version.

No, you won’t be forced to subscribe to Logos.

Unlike most software companies, we make our latest software available to everyone. Even if the last feature set you bought was Logos 4 in 2009 (or even version 1 in 1992!), you’ll continue to receive free app updates, ensuring you can keep using Logos anytime you change computers or upgrade your operating system. You’ll continue to receive bug fixes for free, too. What you won’t get is access to the powerful new and improved features that will be offered in the subscription version of Logos.

Yes, it will still be available. We want Logos to continue to be the most accessible and powerful place for believers to study the Word.

You can see details of the current free edition here. With it, any Christian can still go deeper in the Word with access to resources and features like Bible Word Study, the Basic Bible Study workflow, and a limited version of Factbook without having to pay anything.

None of this changes. You’ll still be able to purchase books, either individually or in a collection, and you’ll own them forever.

You’ll still be able to buy permanent access to Logos libraries and any other books from our catalog. To purchase the latest libraries you will need to subscribe to Logos, however our Legacy Libraries will be available to everyone. In the future, we may add rental options for those who want it, but we don’t foresee a time when we’ll stop selling permanent licenses to books and curated libraries.

Yes, Logos is in a strong financial position and well-equipped to serve you and our mission for the long haul. We’re committed to increasing biblical literacy and accessibility for every Christian in the world, and our work isn’t anywhere near done yet.

Christians have always been at the forefront of technology when it comes to accessing and understanding the Bible, whether adopting the codex in the second century or the printing press in the fifteenth. However, AI has limitations, fallibilities, and biases because it mirrors and sometimes amplifies weaknesses found in all human authors. That’s why Logos always lets you know when the content you’re reading is generated by AI. In addition, Logos’s AI tools are backed by your Logos library and designed to ensure AI is used responsibly and in a way appropriate for Bible study.

To ensure a fair level of access for every user, each subscriber gets a fair usage limit on their use of AI tools each month. The limits are generous—typically, we allow thousands of uses of AI features each month before you hit the limit. The app will let you know when you’re getting close.

Premium subscribers have access to NT211 Introducing the Gospels and Acts: Their Background, Nature, and Purpose, OT303 Theology of Genesis, and BI201 The Story of the Bible.

Max subscribers have access to the Pro courses, plus CH351 History of Heresies, CO101 Introducing Pastoral Counseling I, LD201 Leading Teams and Groups in Ministry, and Bible Survey Video Series: The Gospels as the Story of Jesus.
