    Just got the email newsletter on this:

    • https://fluentbooking.com/discount-deal/

    Seeing that the self-hosted Cal.com is single-user, this could be a better option for self-hosted team needs for this sort of thing.

    I remain of the opinion that WordPress is an application development framework, and being GPL, can tick the box for many self-hosted app needs.

      I'm not sure that is correct.

      I was just able to create a Team and invite a test member and then login with that test member.

        @jdaviescoates Interesting! I see this on the Users page:

        Maybe it's just a single Admin user then?

          @jdaviescoates API is an enterprise feature, too. Overall, it's a great app, but quite restricted without a subscription. Hence, if there's a WordPress way, I'm always interested in that, as you're not being tied to paying per-user licence fees, which can restrict the value you can get from an app, when the cost is the same per user, regardless of their occasional needs.

            So do I, actually.

            I wonder if I've found a loop hole 🤷 as creating a team and then inviting a member definitely seems to work

              Cal-dot-com is definitely multi user.

              Go to /signup wherever you have it installed and there is a create account page.

              There is a “disable signup” feature you can turn on or off.

              Teams are a different feature, used to enable booking of multiple people.

                @bmann yeah, I see that too.

                Makes me wonder what exactly the enterprise feature at Admin -> Users actually is 🤔

                  @bmann Interesting, perhaps an oversight on their part in separating community from enterprise.

                    @marcusquinn there are a bunch of open core / enterprise features. If you pay for a license you can self host on Cloudron but get all the features. eg Cal Video, powered by Daily API, which is a Zoom replacement.

                    Much like n8n that is another Cloudron app with enterprise features.

                      @bmann Cal Video does sound good. No objection to paying for anything. It's per-user pricing that often deters, when most users are very occasional, so the value for each is not the same, but the cost is. It corrupt the way apps are used, as you add an overhead for user license management, and often will create shared users to avoid per-user costs. Until the end of time, I will never charge or happily pay per-user pricing. It's a tax on usage, which is the antithesis to value, especially when there's zero marginal costs to the creator.
