Everything you need to know before you start meeting people.
Is Flame a free dating app?
Yes. Signing up, creating your profile, liking, matching and chatting on Flame is free. Plus, for our launch, everyone who signs up before December 31, 2026 gets the Blaze plan free for a full year, no card needed, and can earn Nova by inviting others with their code.
How does Flame work?
Create your profile, discover people near you and from all over the world, and like the ones you are into. When the interest is mutual it is a match and you can start chatting.
How does Flame choose who to show me?
Flame’s AI learns from your likes. It tells apart what catches your eye at first sight from what you like when you read a profile, adds the compatibility from your tests and puts first the people who are active and reply to messages. Every day it also prepares the “Recommended” section: the 10 people with the best chance of a match. It’s free for everyone.
Do I need to download anything?
No app store needed: Flame works in your browser and you can install it on your Android phone or iPhone with one tap, like any other app.
Who can message me?
You choose in Settings, under “Who can message you?”: anyone (a single message before matching, the First Impression), verified profiles only, only your matches, or only if you write first. You decide who you talk to, and verified profiles carry a badge so you know they are real.
How long does it take to get started?
A couple of minutes: sign up for free, add your photos and start discovering profiles.
Is Flame safe for dating and meeting people?
Yes. Profiles can be verified, you must confirm your email to like or message, and you can block or report any user from their profile or the chat. We never share your exact location, only an approximate distance.
Is it for serious relationships or also for friendship?
Both. On your profile you say what you are looking for —a serious relationship, something casual or new friends— so you connect with people who want the same thing.
Can I control which profiles I see on Flame?
Yes. You choose the distance, the age range and what you’re looking for (a partner, something casual or friendship), and we show you people looking for the same thing first. On each profile you can see why it appears, and if you need a break you can pause your profile without losing your matches. You can also filter by lifestyle for free (height, photos, star sign, education, pets…); Spark lets you see only people who match them all, and Blaze lets you get back the people you passed on.
Which countries can I use Flame in?
In any country in the world. Flame shows you people near you first and then people from other countries, for free: other dating apps charge for that. If you prefer only your area, you can turn it off in Settings.
