Bright BSL vs Play With ASL

Bright BSL is an app for learning British Sign Language at your own pace. Its gamified lessons cover signs, practice, grammar and continuing review, with quizzes and dialogues for practice. The app lists 20 modules, 120 lessons and more than 500 signs and sentences. A visual dictionary, called the Sign Bank, lets learners look up signs from the lessons, while regular quizzes award points. Some modules and lessons are free; premium plans provide access to all learning materials. Prices listed are $14.49 a month, plus annual options of 19.99 USD, 29.99 USD, 39.99 USD, 49.99 USD and $102.99 a year. One 19.99 USD option is labelled quarterly despite annual billing. Karen and Andrew guide learners and have more than 35 years of combined BSL teaching experience. Bright BSL is available on web, iOS and Android.

Play With ASL teaches American Sign Language vocabulary through interactive games for individual learners, families and classrooms. Its game modes include Memory Match, TILT! and Multiple Choice, and its vocabulary uses real ASL signs filmed by Deaf educators. The free plan includes Animals and Colors packs, all game modes, and access on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android; it requires no trial period or credit card. The Full Library plan costs $5 /month and includes current and future vocabulary packs. Teachers can access the full content library, classroom management, student progress tracking, assignment creation and LMS integration for free through Teach With ASL. School licenses cost $5 /student/month and include LTI 1.3 integration, automatic grade passback, roster sync and LMS single sign-on. The School Edition supports Canvas, Schoology, Brightspace, Moodle, Blackboard, Google Classroom and other LTI 1.3-compliant systems. The maker says student records and game responses are not sent to generative AI models. It also says production data is processed and stored in a single US region, with no additional regional deployments established.
