Currently our Heroku app has two dynos: web and worker. The worker dyno is set up to run bundle exec rake jobs:work, which starts up delayed_job. I have some new Sidekiq jobs that I also need to run. (I plan to convert our delayed_job jobs to Sidekiq soon, but haven't yet.) My question is: do I need to add and pay for a third Heroku dyno ("sidekiqworker"?), or is there a way for me to specify that my existing worker dyno run both delayed_job and Sidekiq?

You will need to pay for a third heroku dyno unfortunately. I've experimented with naming both processes as "Workers" but only one would be registered while the other one wouldn't be. When adding a new process name, heroku updates and will set that new process name to 0 dynos.
Refer to this for more details multiple worker/web processes on a single heroku app
