I have e-sword, BLB, Logos,Olive Tree, Accordance, and I use them all. when I can’t find something in one I simply look to another and yes I am looking to purchase a payed plan of Logos or Accordance just haven’t made a defiant decision yet. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions and advice. Your videos great to watch.
My first choice is Logos Basic for free. It is limited to their LEB Bible translation, but you get the Lexham Bible Dictionary, an excellent up-to-date resource, and the Faithlife Study Bible, not well known but usable. A big plus point is that they give a couple of free books every month, some of which are commentaries. All these at no cost. And the free software is excellent on both desktop and mobile. Second choice is Olive Tree. You get several good modern translations for free, and you can get the very good ESV Global Study Bible for free also. However you are stuck with outdated free Bible dictionaries. This would be the choice to keep things simple. But if you intend on going further, the feature set simply cannot compare to Logos. As for Accordance, it doesn’t meet the video’s criteria at the free tier. Thanks for this video with good points made.
Blue Letter Bible is a pretty incredible free resource, especially on the "desktop" version. Thanks for this rundown!
Thanks Joseph, it is always great to have opinions and views from other people - it really helps people make an informed decision.
I do not see you mentioning Bible Analyzer. I find it more powerful than e-Sword and other free Bible software.

Thanks for letting us know what you’re using. Would love to hear what you decide.
I have had E-Sword for years and is an anazing in my opinion. Ease of us and relevant information can't be beat
Thanks. It is great to hear feedback about how others use and find the software rather than just my opinions.

Thanks for such excellent and thoughtful feedback!!!
Have a look at Bible Analyzer too, it might just become your go to Bible Software... Paid modules to add is not expensive either.
