Peak alternatives: free brain games without the upgrade prompts

October 7, 2026 · By the Mindym team

Peak has a big, varied set of brain games, around 45 across memory, attention, maths, language, problem solving and more, with a fresh workout each day in its iPhone and Android apps. The free version gives you a rotating selection and regular nudges to upgrade to Pro, which is the most common reason people look for something else.

We make Mindym, one of the alternatives below. Facts about other apps were checked in October 2026 and can change, so check each app's own page before you decide.

What Peak offers for free

• A rotating set of games and one daily workout. The full library and more workouts are part of Peak Pro.
• Mobile apps for iPhone and Android.
• Upgrade prompts in the free version.

Mindym

Mindym is a short daily brain workout plus seven logic puzzles, and it runs in any web browser without an account.

• A three-game workout every day, chosen from nineteen adaptive games across nine areas. Each round gets harder as you get better and eases off when you miss.
• Seven daily logic puzzles: Crowns, Mini Sudoku, Trail, Halves, Quilt, Meander and a Mini Crossword. The same for everyone, so you can compare times with friends.
• Free: the workout, all seven puzzles, streaks and friends, and nine of the games. One Premium game is free for everyone each day.
• No ads, no ad trackers, and an honest scorecard that says when it's still unsure.

Where Peak is the better pick: if you want the widest variety of game types, including coordination and emotion games, Peak has more.
