- Snap's subscription service, Snapchat+, offers an opportunity for the company to build a recurring revenue stream and break away from the competitive advertising market.
- Snap already generates $20 million per month in recurring revenues from Snapchat+ and has the potential to increase the monthly fee over time.
- With solid user growth and the potential for the subscription service to become a significant part of the business, investors should consider buying Snap below $9.
