When a production loses crew, Flare finds them

Flare is Rate’s emergency crew-cover tool: vetted production users send urgent cover calls straight to Rate crew in the matching grade. If you’re free, one tap puts you forward. Already in your Rate app, no extra cost.

Matched to your grade

Flares follow your Rate default grade. Nothing to configure, nothing to browse.

Know the moment it goes out

Push notifications alert you the moment a production needs your grade.

Your contact card does the talking

Add your photo, name, mobile and email once. Applying shares your card with the production and hopefully gets you booked.

APA rates, always

Every flare pays full APA rates. Production users commit to it on every flare they post.
