Accordance Bible Software runs natively on Windows, Macintosh, Android, and iOS.
We were saddened to hear late last week that BibleWorks will cease commercial operations on June 15. BibleWorks and Accordance were both launched in the early 1990s, and our companies have worked together on a number of projects over the years. We highly respect the ethical standards of BibleWorks, and consider the staff of BibleWorks our friends. Although there are many differences between BibleWorks and Accordance, both platforms have maintained a “Bible-focused” philosophy and approach in their respective software.
We were glad to hear that, for the sake of BibleWorks users, there will be an ongoing effort to ensure that the software remains viable in the future, even though it will no longer be available for purchase. Obviously, some BibleWorks users will simply want to continue using their software indefinitely. We certainly understand that.
However, many BibleWorks customers began contacting us last week as they weighed their options regarding Bible software for their personal and professional use. In response we have decided to put together a few special “Crossover” Packages specifically for BibleWorks users who wish to try out Accordance.
We want to make it clear up front that the BibleWorks Crossover Packages for Accordance are approximate representations in Accordance of many titles in the BibleWorks toolset. BibleWorks contains some titles not yet available in Accordance, just as there are many Accordance titles not available in BibleWorks. Nevertheless, these Crossover Packages are designed to offer as many of the equivalent tools as possible. Our goal is to keep BibleWorks users from missing a step in their study and work as they transition to Accordance.
We realize that BibleWorks users have already invested significant funds into their software, so we have worked diligently to craft several tiered packages at extreme discounts—enough to cover all applicable publisher royalties and the cost of processing orders. We have different tiers because we realize that many BibleWorks users never used all the resources available to them and might prefer to start with a basic package.
In addition you can use Coupon BWfreeBible to get one additional Bible unlock of your choice (up to $20 value, discount applied when order is processed). Simply add the Bible to your order with the coupon code.
NOTE: The below packages are no longer available for purchase. For the most recent packages with Accordance 13, see this page.

We will miss the camaraderie of BibleWorks representatives at conferences throughout the year, and we certainly wish all of them well as they move on to new ministry opportunities and areas of service. Moreover, we would be honored if any BibleWorks users might consider Accordance for their future Bible software needs, and we hope our new BibleWorks Crossover Packages for Accordance can help make the transition as smooth as possible.
