Dat and IPFS are decentralized file systems. Instead, blockstack is a network for decentralized application. It offers identity, storage and a way to transfer tokens. With blockstack you can easily create apps where users can sign-in in seconds and store all their data where they want.

Dat and IPFS can be used to build applications too -- checkout out e.g. https://peerpad.net and the things on https://hashbase.io
