About Clubhouse app:

The clubhouse is a social networking app founded by Paul Davison and Rohan Seth in 2020, providing a way for unique interaction among people. Once a user downloads and opens the Clubhouse app after they get the invite, they are shown a big list of virtual rooms. Every virtual room consists of a group of speakers who can discuss any topic of their choice. There will be other members who will only be listeners to the conversations between the speakers. The complete operations will be dependent only on audio-chats while the users can move to any available rooms with the topic of their choice. They can request the moderators to act as a speaker in these rooms or they can also create a room of their choice.

This is a unique app as users don’t have to worry about the place they are present, or what clothes they are wearing since there will not be the usage of the feature. The app started only for iOS users but with the introduction to Android, the number of users reached to the highest levels in India. Every person can just download the app and reserve a username but will require an invite from another clubhouse user to join and start participating. The mandatory need to invite is required since the clubhouse is looking to develop a steady community for developing features that aids in handling a huge group of people. You cannot delete the Clubhouse account inside the app but you can interact with the app and request to delete the data.

Why did Clubhouse become highly popular?

The clubhouse had the highest reach in the market which was extraordinary for an invite-only app in the 2021 generation. This was aided by the Covid-19 period when people were confined to their homes and conversations were limited to phones. It was the right time when the app was launched and it created a sensation by letting group conversations an easy job. Once people knew the working of this app, several of them were highly looking to quickly download it and reserve their name.
Another crucial aspect of this app is it does not make use of a camera so users need to worry about the ambiance and appearance. Users can easily scroll through the list of topics from the people they follow or interests, and join the discussion. There will not be any restrictions on the subjects and users can take the communications aspirations to the next level.
Any person can speak with a celebrity or a popular influencer on social media by joining a room of their choice. Another attractive part of Clubhouse is its simple design aspects that are favourable for all types of users. Any person who sends the invite to a particular user will be seen in the nominated section of the user. Hence there are chances of reaching more people as your profile will be shown to all those who follow that particular person.

Factors that affect the cost of developing an app like Clubhouse:

1. App Platform:

The cost of developing an app for Android is more about iOS due to the number of devices needed to be tested on the Android platform. If the users are spread across different platforms, then the majority of business owners go for a hybrid model of development.

2. App Design:

Designers will have to look at the latest trends and competitor products to develop the best design for the users. Hence, if the need is for engaging design that is simple yet effective, then you have to get a skilful designer who will cost considerably.

3. Development Team

You can choose either freelancer or a complete app development company for your project. While freelancers may cost you less, the availability and on-time delivery will not be an easy job since there will be individual freelancers to be considered. If you select a reliable mobile app development company, then you can ensure to get an effective final product at a reasonable cost. An app development company will have a major part to play in the success of the app.
