Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Safe Students at Free against ASL Dictionary's $4.99. Safe Students also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). ASL Dictionary's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
