Enter up to three real offers side by side — cash in your account, total payback (or payment × count), and how often you pay. The tool compares total cost in dollars, cost per $1 borrowed, and a plain sentence you can quote back to a lender. No default rates or prefilled numbers.
Use numbers from term sheets or emails — bank term loans, dealer equipment offers, factoring quotes, or merchant advance schedules.

FAQ
- Should I compare factor rate or APR?
- Many MCA and factoring quotes use factor rates or total payback. This tool stays in dollars: total cost and cost per $1 borrowed from the numbers on your term sheet. If an offer is amortizing with a stated APR, you can still enter total repayment from the term sheet.
- What if fees are deducted from proceeds?
- Use the net amount that hits your bank as “amount received.” Total repayment should include every dollar you pay back, including any origination fee you repay through the schedule.
- Can I compare a daily ACH advance to a monthly term loan?
- Yes — enter each offer’s frequency and payment count separately. Compare total cost and cost per $1 borrowed, then read payment per week and per month to see cash-flow pressure.
- Who picks the cheapest offer?
- You do — this page only shows math from your inputs. After you compare, you can submit one financing inquiry if you want another path reviewed.
