How this list is made
We split Threads's name and description into the 8 phrases people would type (threads, discover, perspectives, connect, through, conversation, see, people), search each on the United States App Store today, and count which apps keep appearing in the first 25 results. An app that sits on many of the same pages, high up, is a real alternative in the only sense that matters on the store: people looking for one find the other. No embeddings, no paid placements, no affiliate links.
