Biggest opportunity: Add “table booking”, “patient management” and “booking appointments” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #6 and #7 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

7.2%

of downloads still active

At least 20K of 276.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 14 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I’ve had a very positive experience with FluentBooking so far. The functionality of the plugin itself is solid and meets my needs well, and I can see a lot of potential for the Fluent team to continue expanding it into an even more powerful and highly customizable tool. What really stands out to me is their support team. They are responsive, dedicated, and genuinely go the extra mile to provide guidance and answer questions about the plugin configuration. That level of support makes a big difference, especially when implementing a booking system. I highly recommend Fluent products overall. I currently subscribe to several of the fluent plugins, and I’ve been consistently happy with both the quality of the products and the level of service they provide.

    FluentBooking is a solid and well-built booking plugin. The overall performance is reliable, the interface is clean, and the support team deserves real credit — responses are fast, competent, and genuinely helpful. You don’t feel left alone when something gets tricky, which is a big plus. However, there is one major drawback that, in my opinion, is hard to ignore: FluentBooking does not offer booking packages — and according to support, there are no plans to implement them. For a booking plugin that is designed to sell appointments, this is a serious limitation. Selling appointment packages (for example, five sessions at once) is a standard and essential use case. Especially important: these sessions should be bookable flexibly by the customer, not forced into a recurring system where all appointments happen at the same time. This kind of package-based workflow is crucial for coaches, teachers, consultants, and anyone offering session-based services. In short: FluentBooking is a good plugin with great support, but the lack of appointment packages is a dealbreaker for certain business models. If this feature were added, it would significantly elevate the plugin to the next level. This topic was modified 5 months, 3 weeks ago by blangmantl.

    In my opinion, FluentBooking is the best booking plugin on the market. From its very first release, it outperformed most competitors and continues to evolve day after day with increasingly innovative and impressive features. I’m really excited to see how far the team will take it.
