# Crack DAT READING vs PAT

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Crack DAT READING at 100% against PAT's 28%. Crack DAT READING also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PAT's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 44 months) and ratings volume (64 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crack DAT READING sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per month and PAT sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Crack DAT READING holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PAT has 64 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Crack DAT READING's written reviews are positive against 28% of PAT's.

Crack DAT READING ships an update every 44 months, PAT monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
