Both have the immediate results of a guilty plea in terms of sentencing consequences. Importantly, an Alford plea can result in the offense being treated as a "prior" in the case of a subsequent offense, whereas a nolo contendere plea will not.

What do you mean by 'treated as a prior' i don't understand that part. I do not have a single crime on my record.

An Alford plea is simply a form of a guilty plea, and, as with other guilty pleas, the judge must see there is some factual basis for the plea. Therefore, a defendant's prior conviction via an Alford plea can be considered in future trials; and it will count as a "strike" if a three strikes law applies. A plea of Nolo Contendere is note an admission of guilt.
