The new way to access Snapchat follows on the heels of the announcement of the service’s paid-for tier, Snapchat Plus, and it’s clear that the social media brand is looking to offer its users more value with additions like Snapchat for Web. Currently the service is only available in a handful of regions (don’t worry, the US is one of them), and will be rolled out to others shortly. The announcement comes a month after Snapchat’s parent company, Snap, introduced its new paid-for subscription service, Snapchat Plus — a premium service “designed to give users access to a collection of exclusive, experimental, pre-release features” of which now includes Snapchat for web. The premium version of Snapchat is available for $3.99 per month, with Snapchat Plus now available to subscribers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Plans to roll out the service in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the rest of the global community are in the pipeline, too. Still, with more businesses looking to diversify and company culture becoming a central part of the new working world, there may be room for Snapchat for Web to develop and grow just yet. Until then though, learn more about web conferencing tools more suited to businesses.
