Consulting calls are $197/hour. Payment happens at booking. cal.com handles both.
Before the sovereign stack, booking was part of GHL. Technically it worked. But it was one more reason I was locked into a $1,100/month platform. cal.com is free, open source, and does the job better.
Every tool in the sovereign stack has one job. cal.com's job is to make it frictionless to book and pay for a call. It does that. Nothing else required.
