Snap has started testing a paid subscription tier for Snapchat that will give users early testers of new features.
Snapchat is testing a paid subscription tier for its social network called Snapchat Plus , giving users early access to experimental features like pinning certain conversations and exclusive icons.
The company hasn’t specified what exact benefits Snapchat Plus users would get , or where it would roll it out.
Snap ‘s only statement was: “We’re conducting early internal testing of Snapchat Plus, 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 better serve our community.

At the moment, it’s unclear how Snapchat would differentiate between what’s presented to Snapchat Plus subscribers , as even testing early features can already be done between ‘tester’ users.
But we may have some details about Snapchat Plus, thanks to reverse-engineered app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi. In a series of tweets, he noted that the subscription will cost 4.59 euros ($4.82) per month or 45.99 euros ($48.32) per year.
Perhaps this is your bet to continue holding on with nails in the face of the fall in its shares and the impossibility of meeting its annual objectives .
