Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SignChat at 5.0 against SignScribe's 3.1. SignChat also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 19 months). SignScribe's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
