Is this recognized in the USA? It will be nice if can be transferred to US college with additional UK diploma

I skimmed the sites you linked above. I think the info is a bit skewed in the way of transfers. Evaluation agencies or schools would at most rank them at European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Level 5 which means its freshmen/sophomore level (associates). A EFQ Level 6 would be junior/senior level (bachelors).
The programs seem cost effective enough for the amount of energy/time/work put into it. The utility on the other hand might not be useful unless you can go up the ladder to a Level 7 at an European university or use it for admission purposes for a "better" graduate US university. Are you looking at these for self improvement?

I found another qualification that cheaper, but still recognized by the local government.
https://www.globaledulink.co.uk/ <- many choices available
A bit of me, I have an Engineering background, but looking for a job as a Data Scientist. So, this qualification may help improve my resume a bit, but of course also for self-improvement.
I also find this quite interesting, please take a look.
