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.
WPML
Reddit users are split on WPML. One long-time agency user finds it reliable with good documentation, while others call it complicated, object to v5 turning on automatic translation by default, and report a multilingual site dropping from Google.
