Buy a rubber backed LARGE outdoor type floor mat, something that might
already be used in say your grocery store entry. For ideas, look at what is at the door when you go to different shops. Then lay it the long way in front of your door. By that I mean the long way is next to your house. Take a measurement first so you know how wide the mat must be to cover the crack. Probably can find one in an Office Supply store. The mat I use is 33" X 54" (approx.) and has been in use for 20+ years. It is on a covered porch, but it still gets wet from blowing rain/snow, etc. I do nothing to dry it after it is wet. Hope this helps.

I don't know how inexpensive you are looking for but that concrete porch would look great done in tile - watch for sales and it could be super. Just make sure you get the right kid of tile for outside - and that it is not too slippery when wet.
Use whitte CEMENT & POP paste and fill the crack!!!
First thing is to powerwash the concrete and then buy concrete filler and fill in crack
Yes. Get some concrete crack filler. Either in a plastic squeeze bottle or caulk tube.
Tina had a good answer-the other answers solved the crack but the color of the repair might leave a definite line-there are a lot of products now that might help if you search Home Depot or Lowe's
Well, I would go to Lowe’s and buy concrete patch. Mix it up or buy in a tube. Fill the crack. Give it a good dry and a sanding then paint in the color of your choice. You might try stamping the porch so that it makes the repair job less noticeable. I’ve done this several times you can also stencil
I found a YouTube video that shows how you could repair your patio and it would make your house look GORGEOUS !!!
