• A gifting feature that will let members buy or sponsor monthly subscriptions for other members of the community
• Annual subscriptions that can be offered at a discounted rate vs. monthly subs
• Additional subscription analytics on Beam Dashboard, such as highest sub count, subs per non-subs count, top gifted subs, gifted subs leaderboard, etc.
