Puff Count

How it started

Steven Cravotta jumped between online business models before finding mobile apps, amassing over 12 million downloads across his apps. He has no design or coding experience; he picks problems from his own life and assembles a team via Upwork and 99designs. Puff Count monetizes with a hard paywall after onboarding and grows through marketing, which he says is 95% of an app's success, including cheap content from creators.
