In India, the Snapchat+ subscription costs Rs 49 per month and can be purchased through the Snapchat app. By subscribing to Snapchat+, the 100 million-plus Snapchat community in India will now have access to exclusive features. Snap had already launched this paid service in the United States for $3.99 (approximately Rs 320) per month.

Users can track the number of people who rewatch their Stories in the My Story Management section. It does not, however, reveal the specific names of the other users.
Subscribers to Snapchat+ gain access to the Solar System, a special badge for the Friendship Profile. Users can also pin one of their friends as their best friend.
The Snap Map Ghost Trail feature can show subscribers the general direction of travel for where their friends have recently moved. For this feature to work, users must agree to share their location.
