  • WeChat is becoming more expensive. Bloomberg set the app’s value at 83.6 billion dollars. This figure is somewhat out there, if you consider the last know amount paid for a messenger. For example, the $18 billion given for WhatsApp by Facebook or Snapchat’s estimated value of $16 billion. It’s worth noting that WeChat, ranked second in the world in terms of its user base, has a thorough monetization plan. In addition, it already made a name for itself on the more than promising Asian market, justifying its estimated value.
