I say them the same, but I read them differently. The bel in Isabel is shorter, and the belle in Isabelle is a little more like it would be in French.

I pronounce them the following:

Isabel: EE-zah-bel or ee-zah-BEL in German, IZ-ə-bel in English
Isabelle: ee-zah-BEL only (French)

Actually, sometimes I do and at other times I don't pronounce them the same.

Personally, I do BUT:

Isabel looks more like it would be prn EE-sabelle and Isabelle looks more like IZabelle. I would probably ask someone about the pronunciation of thier name if it was spelled Isabel because they may prounounce it in english or spanish....
