Buy credits
Purchase credits any time you want. One credit costs one dollar. Your business becomes visible on the Flaer map once you have at least $20 in credits.
Simple pricing, no surprises
Flaer has no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no tiers. You buy credits and only pay when a real customer promotes your business on Instagram. One credit equals one dollar.
How credits work
Pay per verified post
When a customer posts about your business on Instagram, Flaer verifies the post and calculates a fair reward. The reward is deducted from your credit balance.
Top up any time
There are no contracts or commitments. Add more credits whenever you want. Your unused credits never expire and you are always in control of your budget.
What affects the price of each post
Every Instagram post is different, so every reward is different. Flaer pulls data directly from Instagram and adjusts the reward based on how valuable the post is to your business.
Audience location
If a customer's followers live near your business, the reward is higher because those people could actually visit. If most of their followers are far away, the location factor can bring the price down to a few cents. Flaer makes sure you don't pay for irrelevant reach.
Authenticity
Flaer values accounts followed by real friends and family over large accounts followed by random people. An everyday customer with 500 genuine followers is worth more than an influencer with 10,000 strangers. We check how authentic each account is and reward accordingly.
Reach
How many people actually saw the post matters. A post seen by 1,000 local followers is worth more than one seen by 200. Flaer uses real reach data from Instagram, not follower counts.
Demographics
Flaer looks at whether the customer's audience matches the kind of people who would realistically visit your business. The closer the match, the higher the reward.
What to expect: typical costs per post
Exact costs depend on the customer's audience, but here are typical examples to give you a rough idea.
~500 mostly local followers
A customer with around 500 followers, most of whom live near your business, will typically cost you about $11 to $12 per post. These are everyday customers sharing with friends and family nearby.
~1,000 mostly local followers
A customer with around 1,000 local followers will typically cost you about $20 to $24 per post. Their post reaches more people nearby, so it delivers more value and the reward reflects that.
These numbers can vary a lot. There is no way to predict exactly how a post will perform, but we always rely on real data and you only pay for real results.
Frequently asked questions about pricing
Is there a minimum purchase?
You need to purchase at least $20 in credits for your business to appear on the Flaer map. There is no minimum beyond that. You can top up with any amount, any time.
Can I set a maximum reward per post?
No, but the maximum reward set by Flaer is $350. A post would need hundreds of thousands of reached people to get close to that. You cannot set a cap per post, but you control your total spend by choosing how many credits to buy.
Can my credits go negative?
No. Before a post from your business is created, Flaer calculates an estimated price for that post. If you do not have enough credits to cover it, the share cannot be created in the app.
Do credits expire?
No. Your credits stay in your account until they are used to reward customer posts.
Are credits refundable?
Credits are non-refundable by default. If you have a specific situation, contact our support team and we will review your case.
