Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: LearnSign at Free against ASL Translator's $4.99. LearnSign also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). ASL Translator's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 50%) and chart position (#154 vs unranked). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
