Is there actually an Accordance 14 Basic Starter/Collection?

[Chris Heard]

I am updating guidance for my students in anticipation of a new semester (starting Monday), and I find myself terribly confused by the options a new user has to purchase starting with Accordance 14. Presumably, the upgrade package (14-Acc) is only appropriate for existing users. At the bottom of that product’s page, there is a reference to product ID Coll14-Starter, labeled Basic Starter (Accordance 14) for $70. However, in the Primary Collections store category only v.13 is listed. A store search for the product ID Coll14-Starter fails to yield any Basic Starter (Accordance 14) results. Searching for Basic Starter (Accordance 14) yields a result of … the v.13 starter.

 

Does a Basic Starter product with Accordance 14 actually exist in the store at this time?

 

Accordance management, please note: guiding my students to purchase a v.13 starter for $20 + a $64 update to v.14 in order to obtain a product elsewhere listed for $70 (at the bottom of the upgrade page) is unacceptable.

Much appreciated, but this doesn’t quite get me what I’m looking for (which might not exist). For Accordance 13 there is a Basic Starter product that is even more streamlined than the English Specialty Starter on https://www.accordancebible.com/last-chance-collections-sale/, and less than half the price. The “related products” table at the bottom of https://www.accordancebible.com/product/accordance-software-version-14/ indicates that a Basic Starter package exists for v.14 also, but I cannot find it anywhere in the store. That’s the product I’m looking for ... or looking for confirmation that it doesn’t really exist yet.

Chris, if you are referring to the text ive included in the screenshot below, its listed @ $69 which is more than the current speciality sales which are @ $44.95 is a 50% saving and more than the upgrade price from a previous version.

 

as many will have paid $38 for the v14 pre order upgrade, i would have thought the current sales on starter collections provide good value to get v14.
 

but like you, i couldnt find the basic v14 starter collection on the site and suspect that by offering a 50% reduction on $69, the sales and marketing team decided it might annoy the core users who had taken up  the pre order upgrade offer so not made it available yet!

 

and $19.75 is a great price for the basic starter if you can live with 13 and dont need the features in v14 and once you have that, when you view your cart it will automatically calculate the price for any collection upgrades you make.

Let me look into this for you. I’m now an Accordance staff member (my forum privileges will be upgraded this week).

Hi @Chris Heard, the answer to your question is yes, there is a basic starter collection for Accordance 14. It can be found here: https://www.accordancebible.com/product/basic-starter-accordance-14/

 

We initially had it hidden from searches while we've been working on adding it to the existing collections' upgrade paths. I'm also sending you a direct message about setting up a discount for your students.
