Hard question. I'll try my best to explain tho.
I think
BOTNET: is focused on holding loads of clients at once, so they tend to be more stable. Also they tend to do less as they are just for ddosing, loads (running an exe on all of them), and other things like smtp hosts, sms bombing, etc.
RAT: Focuses on controlling a handful of people with extra features. Sometimes can have features of a botnet but tend to be less stable.
Basically RAT is built for surveillance and botnet is for holding and using multiple compromised devices.

There is no need to post the same thread in 2 different sections.

from my experience:
botnet is mainly http, widespread spreading
rat is mainly tcp/udp, targetted spreading

A rat is an executable program (whether hidden or not) that basically gives the installer access to the machine if ran.
A botnet is a network of infected computers of which you can use for a multitude of purposes.

Botnets are also used for targetting advertising to the infected machine, not just Ddosing.

Biggest difference botnet is http and the rat is mostly targetted.
RE: Difference Between a Botnet and a RAT - OfficialLemon - Aug 6, 2018
Botnet: Focused on holding a lot more clients at once, and tend to have fewer features. Mostly used to send DDoS attacks.
RAT: Focused on holding fewer clients but with a lot more features, a rat can sometimes do the same stuff as a botnet would, but they are usually very unstable while holding a lot of clients.
Hope this helps, tried my best explaining
