The main differences are that the hide may not be as supple with a home tan and it is a lot cheaper. The quality of the fur doesn't change.
IMO a $30 home tanned beaver pelt is a better choice for someone that is just learning to make mitts, etc than a $150 factory tanned pelt that you may screw up on.
Here are the mitts that an Inuit lady made for me from my home tanned fur. See any difference?

I actually have never met him but have bought some tanned fur that came from him, you can’t compare the quality of a professional tan vs some guy pretending to know what he is doing in his fur shed, the orange bottle tan is complete garbage get it wet and it goes as stiff as a board it’s not a real tan , don’t waste your time with it
