My sense is that Logos is more in depth and appropriate for thesis work, Bible Hub is free and geared towards the layman, which is all I need. I have come to know Bible Hub and other related resources, such as https://www.gotquestions.org/ to be doctrinely solid and balanced.

I am curious as to what Logos offers that other Bible software doesn't. I use E-sword which has just about every commentary one would need as well as tons of independent modules that can be downloaded. I don't use Windows but E-sword runs perfectly well under Linux. If I had been using Logos and found out what they are promoting it would be a short time before it was deleted. Why not use software that is put out by a Christian organization?

How is this even possible? They are selling hundreds of x-rated explicit books. I'll stick with E-sword.

More likely, they got hit by some kind of exploit that bypasses whatever filters they have in place.

I once spent three hours deleting explicit porn spam from this forum. Anyone coming on the site during that time also wouldn't have had a favourable impression on us. I did my best. Let Logos solve their problem without assuming the worst.

I didn't realize that.

I do not have it as of yet but the main thing that Logos has is access to a huge library of commentaries and other resources. There are several steps going from a couple hundred to several thousands of dollars. If all you want is a bible program, you have plenty available that you do not even have to pay for. They stopped supporting Theopholis but it is still a great program which I have used for the last 20 or so years.

I use both even for research papers even though I feel bad when I am not citing something a little more "scholarly" hence the reason I will be going over to Logos to remedy this. There is only one theological library that I have access to but it is on the other side of town. The Gospel Coalition is another good resource even though there are contributors who seem a little questionable.
