Neither gives you cash. The company buys the item from the store and leases it to you.
You don’t own the item until you pay in full or use an early purchase option.
The total usually costs more than the cash price. Compare the total cost to own, not the payment.
“No credit needed” doesn’t mean no credit information. Both use information from credit bureaus or consumer reporting agencies.
Both work only at partner stores. The store you shop at often decides which one you can use.
