It's not yet clear how Snapchat plans to differentiate between beta tester-accessible features and subscriber-accessible features.
Several social media platforms are experimenting with subscription-based services as a way to boost their revenue. According to TechCrunch, Twitter's Twitter Blue service debuted in Canada and Australia last year before being made available in the US and New Zealand.
A paid premium version of the messaging app Telegram with features including additional conversation folders and the ability to send files up to 4GB in size was also released earlier this month.
