Question: What is the difference between these 2 below, I dont really get it.

Credit spread:
Sell put $20
Buy put $19

2 options separately
Selling a $20 put
Buying a $19 put

Whats the difference? Credit spreads seem to screw you over on the price of the two contracts vs getting both separately. Is there something Im missing? One position of the contract can be closed early enough that it screws you over with the credit spread, so why bother with one of those?
