Online shopping networks have been around for decades, with HSN and QVC holding their own as two of the top competitors in the space. What’s now known as HSN debuted in 1982 as HSC. In 1985, the network changed its name to HSN. About a year later, in 1986, QVC began broadcasting its home shopping network on TV. While QVC and HSN have long competed in the home shopping industry, QVC came out on top in 2018 when it bought HSN for $2.1 billion. However, the two still function as separate brands.

The appeal of home shopping networks came from being able to shop at home from your couch by watching the hosts pitch a plethora of products. Then, when the urge struck, you’d dial in to make an order. Over 35 years later, that appeal is still alive and well, even if the actual shopping looks a little different. For example, while you can still place your order the old-fashioned way, you can also order anything from a pair of strappy summer sandals to lobster tails in either shopping network’s mobile app and have it delivered to your doorstep without ever having to speak to anyone.

If you’re interested in shopping from your couch (or anywhere else if you use the app), find out how much 10 popular products listed on QVC and HSN will set you back. And if the price tag happens to be a little steep, both home shopping networks will split up the cost into interest-free payments to make things more manageable.
