Verdict
The clearest difference is price: InterSign at Free against ASL Translator's $4.99. InterSign also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). ASL Translator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#144 vs unranked). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
