Magic Dice generates random wet-FX textures on demand. The AUv3 plugin combines echo/delay, reverb and modulation effects from Baby Audio's award-winning Spaced Out product and puts them into a fast and creative experience. Hit the dice to get new effect configurations. Then use the mix slider to blend them in to taste. Features: * Generates new and unique echo/delay, reverb and modulation configurations with every click * More than 50 individual effects combined under the hood – for an almost infinite number of configurations * Pristine and modern sounding algorithm * Based on Baby Audio's award-winning Spaced Out plugin (2021 Plugin Of The Year in Future Music Magazine) Note: This is an Audio Unit Effect Plugin (AUv3), which requires a host such as AUM or Audiobus – or a DAW such as GarageBand or Cubasis.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Magic Dice at 4.3 against ILRemote's 3.5. ILRemote's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Magic Dice holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ILRemote has 83 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of ILRemote's written reviews are positive against 50% of Magic Dice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ILRemote ships an update every 2 months, Magic Dice every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
