Dicey: Real Dice Cup brings real dice to your phone β with physics you can actually feel, and a cup that plays music. Shake your phone to roll. Touch and hold to swirl a tornado. Drag and launch like a slingshot. Every throw feels different because it's powered by a real-time physics engine, not random numbers. REALISTIC PHYSICS Each die tumbles, bounces, and settles with true-to-life weight and friction. No two rolls are ever the same. Tilt your phone and dice roll naturally with gravity. MUSIC CUP Switch to the octagonal Music Cup, where each wall plays a different note. Drag and release dice toward the walls to build melodies β driven entirely by physics, not pre-recorded tracks. A growing set of classic tunes plays automatically, turning a dice cup into a tiny music box. HAPTIC FEEDBACK Feel every collision through your fingertips. Wall hits, dice-on-dice impacts, and floor bounces each have their own distinct vibration β tuned to match the force of impact. MULTIPLE DICE & SKINS Mix and match D6 / D8 / D12 / D20 dice with premium materials. Chrome steel, translucent crystal, classic pips β build your perfect set. Each cup remembers its own loadout. THREE WAYS TO ROLL - Shake: Tilt and shake your phone naturally - Tornado: Touch and hold to create a swirling vortex - Slingshot: Drag and release for a precisely aimed launch INSTANT RESULTS Live total updates as dice settle. See each value and the sum at a glance. Perfect for board games, tabletop RPGs, party games, music play, or whenever you need a quick decision. No ads. No internet required. No login.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dicey at none against edEdit's 1. Dicey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). edEdit's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
