Key Takeaways
- In most tools, yes — round robin sits on a mid or top per-seat tier, so you pay for it once per host. On LemCall it is included in the flat workspace price, with weighted rotation and availability checks.
- LemCall charges one flat price per workspace with unlimited hosts.
- Bookings are never metered, including on the free plan.
What round robin has to do to be useful
Rotation alone is not enough. A rotation that offers a slot to someone who is already busy just moves the problem: the meeting is booked, then rescheduled by hand.
Useful routing checks live calendar availability before offering a time, and only then decides whose turn it is.
- Availability first: only genuinely free hosts are offered.
- Fair rotation across hosts over time, not just alternating.
- Weighting, so a part-time or senior host can take fewer meetings.
- A sensible fallback when nobody is free in the requested window.
Why it is usually an upsell
Round robin is the feature that marks the line between individual and team use, so it is the natural place for a per-seat vendor to draw a pricing boundary. That is a reasonable commercial decision — it just means the feature is charged twice over: once by tier, once per head.
Setting it up without overthinking it
Start with plain rotation across everyone who can take the meeting, watch a fortnight of bookings, then add weighting only where the distribution is genuinely wrong. Teams who design elaborate rules on day one almost always simplify them later.
Try it on the free plan
