custard is a thinner more -pour-over consistency. Blancmange is thick enough to set firm into a mould.

In short, a blancmange is a custard.
Blancmange is a jelly dessert made of milk and/or cream, sugar, gelatin or cornstarch, and flavouring (usually almond). It is set in a mould and served cold.
Custard is a range of preparations based on milk and eggs, thickened with heat. Most commonly, it refers to a dessert or dessert sauce, but custard bases are also used for quiches and other savoury foods.
As a dessert, it is made from a combination of milk or cream, egg yolks, sugar, and flavourings such as vanilla. Sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin are also added. In French cookery, custard—confusingly called just crème anglaise—is never thickened in this way: when starch is added, it is pastry cream crème pâtissière; when gelatin is added, it is crème anglaise collée

Sharmel is correct, but I would discribe blancmange as yesterdays Jello

Traditional custards include milk/cream and eggs. Blanc mange usually has milk and a thickener like cornstarch or arrowroot.

custard contails egg yolks and blancmange doesn't.
