What Reddit says

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.

GiveWP

One site owner reports that a legacy GiveWP licence became invalid during the Liquid Web merge, that support was poor, and that a test donation stuck in processing. A security post describes a maximum-severity flaw (CVE-2024-8352) in versions up to 3.14.1.
