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.

Liquid Web

Reddit users are strongly negative about Liquid Web, saying its support has declined and that plugins it bought have brought higher prices and forced bundles. One widely shared post tells developers to avoid its plugins after a licence check blocked an add-on on a client launch.
