From shaving razors to meal kits, consumers rely on a variety of different subscription services in their daily lives and now, messaging app LINE is introducing a subscription package of its own called 'Stickers Premium.' While plenty of users already purchase stickers for a small fee, this new service offers more flexibility for the sticker obsessed.
With Stickers Premium, LINE users are able to get unlimited use of all available stickers—including high-profile stickers—via the sticker store. It's not an exaggeration to say that there are millions of stickers available and this package makes it much more cost-effective to use a wider variety of them.
Although many messaging apps have their own free stickers and premium options that can be purchased, Stickers Premium may set a new precedent for the industry.
