We Build Apps
That Pay
Steve Davis LLC is an app development and monetization consultancy built specifically for independent developers and entrepreneurs who want to stop building apps for free and start building apps for revenue.
The Story
Steve Davis LLC was founded out of a simple frustration: talented developers were building genuinely great apps that nobody was using — not because the apps were bad, but because the developers had no roadmap for growth.
The app stores are not discovery engines. They haven't been for years. The developers who win today are the ones who understand paid acquisition — specifically, how to run Google Ads and Microsoft Bing Ads campaigns that generate installs at a cost lower than the lifetime value of each user.
We started with one simple mission: give independent developers access to the same growth infrastructure that large app studios use — without the agency bloat, inflated retainers, or one-size-fits-all strategies.

What We Believe
Developer-First
We built this for developers, by people who've shipped apps. Every recommendation comes from real-world experience, not textbook theory.
Revenue Over Vanity
Downloads and impressions are vanity metrics. We optimize for LTV, ROAS, and MRR — the numbers that actually matter.
Radical Transparency
Every campaign, every dollar, every metric — visible to you in real time. No black boxes.
Long-Term Partnership
We don't do one-off projects. We build lasting relationships with developers who want to grow year over year.
“Every developer who builds something great deserves a path to making it profitable. That's what we're here to build.”
