People bring Lumosity in for an adult wanting a short daily game habit with a cognitive theme, treated as entertainment rather than medical intervention, someone comparing lumosity against elevate to decide between abstract cognitive games and practical skills practice, a user who wants a long historical performance trend across many game sessions, a buyer evaluating whether the current marketing claims about cognitive benefit are consistent with the 2016 ftc settlement findings before subscribing. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Lumosity are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Lumosity
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at $11.99/month. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Lumosity runs on ios, android, web, and is published by Lumos Labs of San Francisco, California, United States. The full record is on the Lumosity review, and the rest of the category is under best education tools.
