Not enough Reddit discussion yet.

FluentBooking

Only two Reddit threads mention FluentBooking directly, so the evidence is thin. One user chose it alongside Fluent Forms because it can calculate a booking price from form answers, which standalone booking systems could not, while the other thread is a request to share a lifetime licence.
