The 3 best alternatives to SchülerVZ
SchülerVZ closes on April 30th - and the hunt for alternatives begins. We show you the best replacement portals.
Schueler.CC - play, chat, find friends
The best alternative to SchuelerVZ is the similar portal Schueler.CC. Here you chat with schoolmates, find people from your school and share videos with your contacts. The differences at a glance:
- Different design but similar functions. In addition to the school membership, you can create classrooms and communicate in smaller groups.
- Smaller community with increasing tendency - especially if SchuelerVZ is closed.
Facebook - the largest social community
Almost everyone is on Facebook these days. Anyone looking for a SchuelerVZ alternative could now take the plunge and join the world's largest social network. These are the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook:
- You meet more people on Facebook than on any other platform. As with SchuelerVZ, you can provide information about your school and connect with classmates.
- On SchuelerVZ you had peace of mind in front of your parents. It's different on Facebook: people of all generations are bustling here - and see what you share and post.
MeinVZ - same design, different target group
Even before SchülerVZ announced that it would close, pupils migrated to other social networks. Those who want to stay true to the VZ program can find shelter at MeinVZ - and these are the differences:
- If you were able to specify your school at SchülerVZ and include favorite subjects in the profile, MeinVZ is geared towards students and employees - you have to do without school details here.
- This creates a problem: schoolmates are no longer so easy to find on MeinVZ. The design and layout are reminiscent of SchülerVZ and make the switch easier.
- Conclusion: The replacement is not quite adequate - if you are studying soon, you can easily switch to StudiVZ.
In this practical tip, you can find out what will happen to your SchuelerVZ data.
