Rate - APA Calculator
iPhone / Finance
Join the 1,000+ commercial crew who trust Rate with their most complex shoot calculations. Know exactly what to invoice at the tap of a button. No spreadsheets. No rate cards. No mental maths.
FEATURES INCLUDE:
Export to PDF & Excel
• Need to export your calculation to PDF or Excel? No problem, Rate has you covered.
Share Shoots
• Seamlessly share shoots with other crew members. They tap the link and it opens straight in Rate!
Share Times
• Need to share your times with another crew member? Rate sends your full schedule, call, wrap and overtime in a WhatsApp-friendly format, without sharing what you've earned.
Kit & Expense Tracking
• Keep track of your kit and expenses on a daily basis, so when you get around to invoicing you know exactly what you should be charging.
Flare
• When a production urgently needs crew in your grade, they send out a flare. It lands on your phone instantly as a push notification. Mark yourself as available and put yourself forward for the job in seconds. Every flare pays full APA rates. In beta and we will be rolling out this functionality gradually.
Industry Pulse
• Ever wondered how busy the industry is right now? Rate lets you know, based on anonymised data from crew across the UK.
Stats
• See exactly how your year is shaping up. Track your tax year earnings, personal records and busiest months, all in one place. Fully customisable so you only see what matters to you!

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
In 2026.4.0 we are introducing Flare and laying the groundwork for the APA 2026 rate card.
Flare:
Productions sometimes need crew at the last minute, and now they can reach you directly in Rate via Flare.
• Get a push notification the moment a flare goes out for your grade
• Mark yourself as available and put yourself forward for the job in seconds
• Every flare pays full APA rates
Flare is a big new feature we're building out, and we expect traction to build gradually while we introduce it to production crew.
APA 2026:
From 1 September, shoots dated on or after that day automatically use the new APA 2026 rates and rules.
