BLEASS Delay is the ideal tool for adding depth, movement and interest to your mixes. No matter what style of music you are producing and what instrumentation you are working with, the versatility and ease-of-use of BLEASS Delay helps you achieve perfect results with the minimal of fuss. Echoes are just the starting point for BLEASS Delay. The integrated frequency shifter and dual filter allow deep control over the character and sound of the generated repeats, allowing you to achieve with one plugin sound effects that may otherwise require a complete plugin stack and complex routing. BLEASS Delay also includes three LFOs, one each for the delay engine, the frequency shifter and the filter. As well as allowing the plugin to create classic modulation effects such as chorus and flanging, the dedicated LFOs are ideal for creating exciting sound effects and epic, constantly-shifting soundscapes. BLEASS Delay App is an AUv3 plugin. A Desktop compatible plugin (VST3 / AU / AAX) is also available for Windows and macOS. More information on https://www.bleass.com/delay/

Replicant 3 is a real-time audio slicing and mangling effect, the third generation of the plugin that started the genre in 2007. Feed it any audio and Replicant's sequencer captures, loops, reverses, and re-slices it on the fly, layering in delay, filtering, panning, ring modulation, and bit-crushing to turn predictable tracks into something unpredictable. Version 3 is a ground-up rebuild with an all-new sequencer engine, expanded effects, and a redesigned interface that makes programming complex slice patterns fast and intuitive. SEQUENCER ENGINE Program 3 to 16 steps per measure with multiple step-size modes, from dotted notes through nontuplets. Build rhythmic patterns that go well beyond straight time. Per-step probability, direction (forward or reverse), and effect routing let you create patterns that evolve and surprise. FOUR SLICE EFFECTS The original Stutter capture-and-repeat is joined by three new modes. Delay adds rhythmic echoes to sliced audio. Redukt applies bit-crushing and sample-rate reduction for lo-fi destruction. Ring Mod adds metallic, inharmonic tonal coloring to any slice event. ENVELOPE CROSSFADING Smooth transitions or hard-gated rhythmic chops on every slice event. Control the attack and release shape of each captured buffer for precise dynamic control. MANUAL AND MIDI TRIGGER Bypass the sequencer entirely and fire slices on demand. Manual trigger mode works with touchscreens for live performance. MIDI trigger lets you drive Replicant from a controller, keyboard, or DAW automation. REDESIGNED INTERFACE A visual step sequencer puts your entire pattern on screen at once. Edit steps, assign effects, set probabilities, and adjust parameters without menu-diving. CROSS-PLATFORM PRESETS XML-based preset manager with presets compatible across all Audio Damage plugin formats and operating systems. SOUND DESIGN IDEAS Sequence stuttering vocal chops with per-step filter sweeps. Build glitched-out drum fills by randomizing slice direction and bit-crushing depth. Layer ring modulation on sustained pads for metallic, evolving textures. Use MIDI trigger mode to fire slices manually in a live set. Program polyrhythmic slice patterns with odd step counts against 4/4 time. Run full mixes through Replicant on a bus for controlled chaos breakdowns. AUv3 compatible. Runs standalone or hosted in AUM, ApeMatrix, Audiobus, Cubasis, GarageBand, and other AUv3 hosts on iOS 11 or newer. From Audio Damage, making creative software for discerning musicians since 2002.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BLEASS Delay at every 6 months against Replicant 3's every 18 months. BLEASS Delay also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 67%) and device support (3 vs 1). Replicant 3's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $6.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
