Guitar can use either amp. But won't sound as "good" on bass amp.
For beginners I would say get the cheapest bass amp or a pedal that outputs to headphones ($50 target for either amp or pedal).
Edit: you can play bass on a guitar amp … before someone tries to argue I don't want to argue. But the chances of damaging the speaker are significant. It won't explode or catch on fire.

Look for an audio interface with guitar-level line-in (Komplete Audio and Focusrite Saffire line have these, there are lots) and just plug direct into your interface. Grab a free version of an amp simulator like Amplitube for some warmth and don't go crazy with the overdrive unless you're doing a Suicide cover band or something.
Introducing recording, metronomes, compressors, fx and a daw early is smart. With a DAW you can slow the tempo of songs to hear learn and practice with.
So for the same $ investment as a bad bass amp, you can get a lot more musically useful gear.

I highly recommend the NeuralDSP amps.. you can typically get them for 50 to 60 bucks during Black Friday and Anniversary sales.

I don't see why you're advocating a beginner spend money on plug-in FX that are sonically not greatly different than what's available for free. In fact they may be worse, because the have to be limited to fit hardware that's quickly obsoleted (arguably already) I mean it's understandable you want to feel like it was a good value for you, but still.
