What is Snapchat Plus and Its Subscription – 2025
Snapchat is one of the most popular apps where we send photos, videos, and messages to our friends. But now, Snapchat offers a special version called Snapchat Plus.
Snapchat Plus is a paid subscription. That means you have to buy it every month to use the extra features. It gives you more ways to have fun on Snapchat, like changing the app icon, using new emojis, and seeing who watched your story more than once.
One of the most exciting parts of Snapchat Plus is the Friends Solar System — a cool feature that shows your best friends as planets around you!
If you’re wondering what you get with Snapchat Plus, don’t worry — I’ll explain all the features step by step!
In Short (Key Takeaways)
What is Snapchat Plus?
Snapchat Plus is a premium version of Snapchat. It gives users extra tools and cool features that are not available for free. To use it, you need to pay a small amount each month.
This upgrade is great for people who love using Snapchat every day and want to enjoy more custom and fun options.
Snapchat+ Subscription Details
With Snapchat+, you get access to exclusive, experimental, and early-access (pre-release) features. These are special tools and options that regular Snapchat users don’t have.
Snapchat+ lets you unlock over 40 features that make your Snapchat experience more fun, personal, and advanced.
This subscription is now available in almost 25+ countries including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, India, and Pakistan. Snapchat Plus services are expanding. You can click on your profile icon to check if Snapchat+ is available in your country or not.
There’s also a separate subscription called Lens+, which gives you access to exclusive lenses powered by GenAI (Generative AI). These lenses are smarter and more creative than regular ones.
How to Subscribe to Snapchat Plus?
- Open the Snapchat app on your phone or tablet.

- Annual Plan
- Choose the Monthly Plan and tap Start Free Trial. You’ll get 7 days free to try Snapchat+. You will need to add your payment method, but you won’t be charged during the free trial.
After these steps, you’ll get Snapchat Plus! I also tried the free 7-day trial before, and I used all the premium features.
You can try it too and see if you like it. If you want to keep using it after 7 days, you can pay for it. If not, just cancel the subscription before the trial ends.
