Updated · LoanHelp editorial team · Editorial policy

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.
