Quick answer
For agencies, our pick is Quill Booking, our own plugin, for discovery calls with round-robin and collective team events, and an unlimited-site licence for client sites at $109 a year or $309 for life. DoubleScale adds a CRM with proposals and invoices, FluentBooking suits agencies on FluentCRM, and LatePoint is a strong choice to install on client sites.
Agencies use booking in two ways: on their own site to book discovery calls with the right team member, and on client sites they build. Both need reliable plugins and licences that do not cost a fortune across many sites.
Disclosure: Quill Booking is our plugin, so we put it first. DoubleScale is a sister product from the same team. We list the same facts for every product, including what each one does not do well, so you can make your own call.
