The front glass digitizer and underlying display have separate replacement guides, so a cracked cover and a failed image panel are different repair quotes.
What to check before buying
Glass and display
iFixit documents replacing the front glass digitizer separately from the underlying display on iPad 10. A quote for broken glass should identify whether the image panel is also damaged; replacement digitizers may need separately supplied adhesive.
Battery access
The battery guide for model A2696 calls for new battery and digitizer adhesives after opening. A battery replacement therefore also disturbs the front assembly, even when the visible glass is intact.
