Essentially we @ WeChat have 2 types of accounts, subscription and service. Subscription account only gives you access to the Message API which allows for receiving messages and autoresponses and allows you to broadcast to your users once a day. Subscription accounts are also grouped in a category in your contacts under subscription.
A service account gives you an APP ID and APP SECRET which allows you to generate an access token which is needed for pretty much all the other API's apart from the Message API.
