Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AutoMix DJ at 4.2 against Sound Effects!'s 3.4. AutoMix DJ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). Sound Effects!'s advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 50%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sound Effects! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AutoMix DJ sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AutoMix DJ holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 50 and 43 respectively.
