Snapchat is the latest social media platform to enter the world of subscription with its new Snapchat Plus service in the market. The company has been touting its feature for a while, and now it is finally available for those who want to access exclusive features and also get access to new options before anyone else.

Telegram and Twitter are the other social media platforms to enter the paid model space in recent times, and more are expected to join the ranks in the near future.
