The UAE’s most comprehensive, independent free zone comparison platform — built to make business setup simpler, faster, and smarter.
Who We Are
UAE Freezone Compare is an independent research and comparison platform dedicated to helping entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners navigate the UAE’s 43+ free zones. We are not affiliated with any free zone authority, business setup consultancy, or government entity — our only goal is to provide accurate, unbiased, and up-to-date information.
Founded with a simple mission: to cut through the noise and confusion surrounding UAE free zone company formation, we aggregate data from official free zone websites, government portals, and published fee schedules to give you a single, trustworthy source of comparison.
43+ Free Zones
Comprehensive coverage across all 7 UAE emirates.
2,500+ Activities
Every licensed business activity catalogued and searchable.
Live Pricing
Setup costs updated from official sources regularly.
100% Independent
No commissions, no affiliates — pure unbiased data.
Our Mission
Setting up a company in the UAE should be straightforward. Yet with over 43 free zones each offering different packages, activities, visa quotas, and pricing structures, the landscape is genuinely complex. Entrepreneurs often spend weeks researching, only to receive conflicting information from consultants with commercial interests.
We exist to change that. Our mission is to give every business owner — from a solo consultant to a multinational looking to expand into the Middle East — the clear, comparable data they need to make an informed decision in minutes, not weeks.
What We Cover
Free Zone Profiles
Every free zone on our platform has a detailed profile covering: setup cost ranges, minimum share capital requirements, available visa quotas, permitted business activities, office options (flexi-desk, serviced office, warehouse), emirate location, processing timelines, and key features and restrictions.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Our comparison tool lets you select any combination of free zones and view their specifications side by side — making it easy to evaluate trade-offs between cost, location, activity scope, and visa allocation.
Activity Lookup
With 2,500+ categorised business activities, you can search for your specific industry and instantly see which free zones license that activity and at what cost — saving hours of individual research.
Cost Transparency
We publish the lowest available package price for each free zone alongside what that price includes, so you are never misled by headline figures that exclude critical fees like visa costs, establishment cards, or facility charges.
Our Data Sources
All pricing, activity lists, and specifications on UAE Freezone Compare are sourced directly from:
- Official free zone authority websites and published fee schedules
- UAE Ministry of Economy publications
- Department of Economic Development (DED) circulars
- Official government press releases and regulatory notices
We review and update our data on a rolling basis. If you spot outdated information, please contact us and we will investigate and correct it promptly.
Why Trust Us
No Hidden Agenda
We do not earn commissions from free zones, business setup agents, or visa services. We do not accept payment to rank a free zone higher in our listings. Our revenue model is built on serving users — not on influencing your choice.
Unlike many UAE business setup websites that exist primarily to generate leads for consultancy services, UAE Freezone Compare is built as a genuine research tool. We believe informed entrepreneurs make better business decisions — and better businesses are good for the UAE economy as a whole.
