Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Deaf Transcribe at 4.5 against Captify's 3.5. Deaf Transcribe also leads on ratings volume (487 vs 11) and chart position (#99 vs unranked). Captify's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Deaf Transcribe holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deaf Transcribe has 487 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Captify's written reviews are positive against 22% of Deaf Transcribe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
