Snapchat is a platform where creators can create content, grow their audience, and monetize their content, positioning itself as "a place where you can easily create, grow your audience, and monetize your content by being your authentic self." Targeted to content creators (and used by over 75% of 13–34 year olds in over 25 countries), Snapchat differentiates with augmented reality—over 300 million DAUs engage with AR every day—Lens Studio (used by over 400,000 Lens creators) and a Snap Creators account on Snapchat for creator updates.
