The audio-based social networking app Clubhouse is a hot topic. What is it and how can you create something like it? In this article, we dissect the audio-based social networking trend and discuss how to build an app like Clubhouse. For the cost to develop an app like Clubhouse, scroll to the bottom of the article.
What’s Clubhouse?
In a nutshell, Clubhouse is an invite-only blend of podcasts, Twitter, and phone calls you can listen in on without legal repercussions. In the pandemic era when people are starved for live human interaction, the acclaim Clubhouse has received is of little surprise.
How does it work?
Clubhouse is what people are now calling an audio social network. Having registered with Clubhouse, a user can choose topics they’re interested in and jump into dedicated rooms to listen to people talk about those topics. It’s possible to join the conversation as a speaker if the room owner allows it.
Basically, Clubhouse is like an audio Twitter with restricted commenting — some Twitter users choose to allow anyone to comment on their tweets and others decide to filter conversation participants and set tweets to read-only for outsiders.
Clubhouse also has certain similarities to Discord in that it uses separate rooms and was primarily developed for audio communication. Discord also has text chats, but it’s also a bit more complicated to navigate than Clubhouse.
Right now, Clubhouse is in beta, which seems to be the reason for the app’s invite-only policy. However, getting an invite seems relatively easy — every user gets two invites to send out after registering and more when they actively use the app.
Why is Clubhouse so popular?
We can detect three main reasons for the sudden rise of Clubhouse.
- Clubhouse is the only app of its kind, and the novelty pulls users in like moths to a flame.
- Clubhouse had a great start thanks to celebrities and tech innovators who were the first to get and use invites — a smart move for any social network.
- Clubhouse owners have caught the right moment to launch an audio-based social network app.
