Blanked vs Lumosity
the original brain-training platform
The short answer
Lumosity is the granddaddy of brain-training apps with a huge catalogue. Blanked is the modern, focused alternative if visual memory is the thing you actually care about, at a fraction of the price.
About Lumosity
Lumosity launched in 2007 and was one of the first brain-training platforms. It has 50+ games and an extensive research programme. In 2016 the company was fined $2M by the FTC for overselling cognitive benefits; they have since tempered their claims.
