Snap has announced a new subscription plan called Snapchat+. With this new plan which costs $3.99 per month, users will have access to some exclusive and pre-release features on Snapchat.
The is coming at a time when the company’s primary source of revenue have been impacted and the company has given a disappointing sales outlook for the current quarter a couple of months back.
Although the new subscription service is a part of the company’s strategy of a new revenue stream, Jacob Andreou, Snapchat’s senior vice president of products doesn’t expect it to become the primary revenue source for the company.
Currenlty, Snapchat+ includes pre-release, experimental and exclusive features such as pining close friend as a BFF and customizing the app’s icon. The company says that it is intended for the “most passionate members” of Snapchat.
