both companies have had course approved by ACE ACE | National Guide Online | Browse The Guide for college credits. You will need to check with the college you are interested in enrolling in to see if they accept ACE recommended courses for credit.

PLA/portfolio: You would need to contact the colleges you are interested in enrolling in and ask them about their PLA options. Having received credits via Portfolio, I will say it is a risk. You can do all the work , pay the fee and end up with no credits. There is a lot of work involved in creating a portfolio . And the whole process is very long.
My personal opinion is testing out via clep/dsst/Uxcel/TECEP/ECE's is a better option.
I second Peace pla comment. It seems like a scam almost because you pay the same amount of money for the credits, take a course to write the damn pla and then its up in the air if you will get the credit. You are better off taking the course, getting the credit and being done with it.
