Signatures from Laravel Code:

updateOrCreate

 /** * Create or update a record matching the attributes, and fill it with values. * * @param array $attributes * @param array $values * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model */ public function updateOrCreate(array $attributes, array $values = []) 

updateOrInsert

 /** * Insert or update a record matching the attributes, and fill it with values. * * @param array $attributes * @param array $values * @return bool */ public function updateOrInsert(array $attributes, array $values = [])
