What's the most successful virtual pet site game?

There are so many virtual pet site games we know today. A lot of them have seen good success with having millions of gamers playing it while they make millions of dollars from using microtransaction in their games. Take for instance, Marapets makes around $200k-700k a year, even though their revenue is dropping down a bit.

In terms of active daily users, Flight Rising, Subeta, Marapets, Neopets, Xanje, Khimeros, Powerpets and Aywas all average a lot of daily active players.

However, the most successful pet sites are probably Subeta, Flight Rising, Marapets and Powerpets.

Also, Neopets, Subeta, Marapets and Webkinz are more than likely the most profitable virtual pet sites.
 
My Singing Monsters is a very successful virtual pet site. I read that It got millions of downloads since it was released in 2012.
 
Determining the most successful virtual pet site game can be very subjective, but I'd like to look at the revenue and their user base. With these factors, I think Neopets is the most successful.
In terms of having a massive user base (150 million users), Neopets is by far the most successful. However, it was operating at a loss for over a decade according to its new CEO, Dominic Law.


  • Dominic Law acquired Neopets from NetDragon Websoft in 2023 to reignite development on web game Neopets.
  • Law says the game operated "at a loss" for a decade, but is already seeing spikes in revenue and monthly average users.
  • To make Neopets fully profitable and long-lasting, its team will need to act 'like a startup,' says Law.

Neopets should be profitable again in the near future​

Law explained that since he and his colleague jumpstarted active development on the game (he said that JumpStart and NetDragon had kept it on "life support" for the last decade), they've already watched "all their metrics" including engagement, revenue, and MA, jumping two-or-three times higher. "revenue-wise, viewership-wise, and engagement-wise, we're at our seven-year peak," he said.

I’m sure by next year they’ll be back in the green or sometime in 2026 with all the new things that they’re releasing!

Another 25 years is a bold plan, I hope they can pull it off. Never know what could happen.
