    Reports are formally structured documents that are written to inform through fact-based sections tailored to a specific reader, while essays take a semi-structured narrative approach to argue an idea without a specific target audience. Key differences include reports including section headings and sometimes recommendations, while essays focus on conclusions without sub-headings or extra visual elements.
