The new version of Verbum is here. It’s redesigned in a big way to be faster and easier to use than ever.

Whether you’ve never owned Verbum or have been with us from the start, here are all your options for how to get Verbum 8, clearly explained. I’ll also explain why some customers choose one option over another.

You can also call us at 888-875-9491 to get more personalized help choosing the right option for you.

If you own a Verbum base package

All of the options here apply to current Verbum base package owners. If that’s not you, scroll down to the heading “If you do not own a Verbum base package.”

1. Get a Verbum 8 complete upgrade

A complete upgrade includes new Verbum 8 features and a library of books. Those books don’t replace your current library; they add to it. The same goes for features, and it’s true no matter which package you choose.

Think of it like adding another wing to your virtual library. You could make a large addition or a small one, but whichever you choose, you get more books and more features.

And for a limited time, base package owners get 25% off their first Verbum 8 complete upgrade, so now’s the time to do it.

On top of that, Dynamic Pricing applies, so you only pay for what’s new to you. Sign in to see your unique dynamic price on all Verbum 8 complete upgrades.

Choose your complete upgrade level

You can choose from several levels of complete upgrades.

The books and features vary depending on what level you choose, stacking on each other the higher you go. Limited feature sets come in Verbum 8 Starter and Bronze, and the full feature set—that is, all the new features of Verbum 8—comes in Verbum 8 Silver and up. See the next section for an overview of the differences.

This option for you if:

• You already own a Verbum base package
• You want the most cost-effective way to boost your library and feature set
• You want to take advantage of the special Verbum 8 launch discount (25% off first complete upgrade)

2. Upgrade your features only

If you want to get the newest Verbum 8 features without investing in additional books, this option is for you. Choose from upgrades including some or all Verbum 8 features. Whichever you choose, those features are yours to keep forever. Learn more.

As always, your price adjusts based on the features you already own (Dynamic Pricing), so sign in to see your dynamic price on Verbum 8 feature upgrades.

Feature upgrades come in three levels. You can compare feature upgrades in detail, but here is a summary of the differences (new features only):

You can also read more about complete upgrades and feature upgrades for help deciding between the two.

This option is for you if:

• You want the newest features in Verbum without investing in new books
• You want the most cost-effective way to get all the features of Verbum 8. For example, if you already own Verbum 6, a Full Feature Upgrade would be about $400 thanks to Dynamic Pricing, rather than $600.

3. Upgrade your library only

This option is for anyone who already has Verbum 8 features (either because they subscribe to Verbum Now or have purchased a Verbum 8 feature upgrade or complete upgrade).

Compare Verbum 8 libraries to see what interests you. Since you probably own some of the books in the Verbum 8 libraries, you’ll see a custom price for your library upgrade.

This option is for you if:

• You want more books for less
• You subscribe to Verbum Now or have already purchased a Verbum 8 complete upgrade or feature upgrade

Get fully caught up with every feature included in Verbum 8. Whatever version of Verbum you have, Verbum Now gives you access to every feature, media collection, interactive, and dataset included in Verbum 8.

This option is for you if:

• You prefer a low yearly payment to a larger one-time investment

What if I already own a Verbum base package? How does it work to get a Verbum Now subscription on top of that?

It would work just like any other Verbum 8 complete upgrade. The new features and resources would be added to your current collection. The exception is that your access to the features and resources included in Verbum Now would end should you choose to end your subscription.

If you do not own a Verbum base package

1. Get a Verbum 8 base package

What it is

A base package is two things: features and resources. Features are the tools/abilities of Verbum that help you study, and resources are the books and information those features rely on to deliver insights.

1. Features. To get all the features, get Verbum 8 Silver and above. (Verbum 8 Starter and Bronze include a smaller set of features.)
2. Resources. The size and value of the libraries grow as you move through the base package levels—from Starter all the way to Collector’s. When you purchase a base package, the books, like the features, are yours to keep and use on all your Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices.

Why you’d get it

We answer that here, but the gist of it is:

• You get the latest Verbum tools and a brand-new library. With one purchase you know you have the most powerful version of Verbum, plus a curated library to go with it.
• You get started in the most cost-effective way. On average, base packages save you 90% when compared to purchasing books and features individually.
• You only go up from here. We call these base packages for a reason: this is the beginning of a lifetime with Verbum. You’re investing in a tool you can use and add to for years to come. And with Dynamic Pricing, you never pay for the same book twice. We automatically take into account what you already own and adjust your price accordingly.
• You’ll begin to study the Faith better. Ultimately, this is the reason to buy Verbum—to dig into God’s Word and the Faith at incredible depth, with unmatched accuracy, and at lightning fast speed. Learn all about Verbum 8.

Summary

What you need depends on who you are and what you have.

• If you are brand new to Verbum, get a Verbum 8 base package. It’s the most cost-effective way to get started because you are essentially buying in bulk. You’ll get a Bible study library with dictionaries, commentaries, Bible texts, and much more. It’s an all-in-one package for powerful Bible study.
• If you already have Verbum and want to upgrade your library and features, get a Verbum 8 complete upgrade. For a limited time, you save 25% on your first complete upgrade purchase.
• If you only want to invest in the newest Verbum features—and not get more books—get a feature upgrade. You can get some or all of the new features, such as Workflows, Canvas, and the Theology Guide.
• If you want to spread out your investment over time, read about our payment plans. (If your purchase qualifies, you’ll see this option before you begin the checkout process.)
