Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Play With ASL at none against SignChat's shown. Play With ASL also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.2). SignChat's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
