VERDICT

Should I use LatePoint?

Appointment Scheduling Plugin for WordPress — every plan includes all features; only site count differs. Annual from $79/yr, Lifetime from $199. - latepoint.com

Worth it. A cheap, feature-complete booking plugin that makes sense if your appointments live on a WordPress site. Skip it if you're not on WordPress, want hosted zero-maintenance scheduling, or won't stay on top of plugin updates.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~15 public sources; official vendor pages dominate and independent reviews are very thin (1 G2 review).
