RAT

RAT represents short-form of Read As Text. From the name, it is obvious that this tool will read data inside a file as text. This might be very useful for checking code once without editing it. It is simple to use and can be used by anyone.

It is also an Open-Source tool so you don't need to necessarily buy it for using. There is also a free version but it doesn't supports some special features. It may ask you to buy the pro version. If you do not like basic, then you can also opt DND RAT. As it sounds, it will not prompt disturbing you.

Basic RAT

Basic RAT is the demo version of Pro RAT. If you can't afford buying Pro RAT, you can unlimitedly this version of RAT. Although it will repeatedly prompt you with ads of it's better version. Also apparently it will never get updated again.

DND RAT

It is just similar to Basic RAT, but it is not a demo version. Instead it does the same thing as Basic RAT but without any prompts or ads saying buy Pro version. This version is free as well. Apparently this version will also never update.

Pro RAT

Pro RAT is the paid version of RAT and it carries many features. It will not prompt you with any useless ads and will give you many other features like counts and details. You can buy it for $1.35 only or you can also pay more but your choice. There should be no differences. It may get updates in future.
