It depends. Are they updating every month?

They both are and have been.

Then yes, if you have the funds and are willing to part with them and if you want a more immediate score boost, it would benefit you to pay them now. Once they both fall off in a year, if there are no other negatives on your file at that time, you'd get a further boost for having a squeaky clean file.
Alternatively, you could wait it out, and you'd still get a score boost, but not until they both fall off, and again, assuming there are no other negatives on your file.
