Snapchat has been facing revenue pressure and has been looking for new monetization plans. The platform is experimenting with a new premium subscription service that would give users access to exclusive features and tools; Snapchat+.

The subscription comes with different pricing options including a free trial for a week. The exclusive features include:

• Access to exclusive Snapchat icons.
• A new profile badge to show that you’re a Snapchat+ user.
• New data insights, including the capacity to see your friends’ location history (over the last 24 hours) and info on who’s rewatched your Story.
• The capacity to pin a user in the app as your ‘#1 BFF’.

According to Snapchat, the feature is still in its early phases and will change a lot once released:

‘We’re doing early internal testing of Snapchat+, a new subscription service for Snapchatters. We’re excited about the potential to share exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features with our subscribers, and learn more about how we can best serve our community.’
