You will have heard his name for weeks and if you thought that Instagram or TikTok were the most popular "social networks" today, you were wrong to big because Clubhouse blacked them out overnight. But what is the Clubhouse?
Clubhouse is a social network that combines streaming content and podcasts, creating a hybrid between the two formats. We could say it's a Twitch but exclusively for audio. The issue is in beta, you can access it by invitation only.
And while there is already a version of Clubhouse available for all Android users, in the last few months there have been alternative a Clubhouse which is worth considering.

Discord
Discord is the best application to create a community on a specific topic and talk about it. Whether it's a group of students, video game enthusiasts or literature lovers, Discord allows us to meet like-minded people and share experiences.
Sounds like Clubhouse? Well, Discord has text channels that you can talk to like it's a permanent chat and it has also voice channels, making the interaction more personal and closer with the rest of the community members. The best of everything? It is cross-platform and totally free.
Audio WhatsApp and Telegram
WhatsApp and Telegram look little or nothing like Clubhouse but can perform the same function while we await their arrival on Android. We just create a group on a specific topic and instead of communicating via text, we use audio.
The advantage of this is that practically everyone has these applications installed on their devices, they are available for Android and iOS, and unlike Clubhouse, no invitation is required to use them.
stereo
Stereo is an audio-based social network which honestly has the same characteristics as the Clubhouse. With it we can connect live with other people through voice conversations as if we were having coffee with all of them.
With Stereo we can access a wide variety of live or previously recorded shows and to the most curious of all and to encourage participation, all users automatically participate in a weekly ranking for the best show, with cash prizes.
Spoon
Spoon is not a social network but a voice streaming service. Something like a radio application but with more interaction. That is, we create our own channel and can chat with our listeners live and live.
Do you fear? The ones we want. Music, video games, politics… everything has a place in Spoon. No advertising, no subscription required and free. The bad? That virtually all of the content is in English.
Twitter spaces
But what does Twitter have to do with Clubhouse? Basically nothing, but we all know that the 140-character social network is always being updated and if you have recently added stories or also called Fleets, the same will be done with the vocal notes.
It's called Twitter Spaces and it is basically a real-time voice chat service that is currently being tested, although it is already available to more people. That is, direct competition for Clubhouse and considering the popularity of Twitter today, it is very likely that it will be a success.
