Paid rankings — no zone pays to appear at the top

What Zone Compare Does
Zone Compare is a free, independent scoring engine for UAE & GCC free zones. Founders answer six questions — activity, business model, budget, visa needs, workspace, and emirate preference — and receive a ranked shortlist of relevant zones, with scores broken down across six dimensions.
Unlike formation agents (which are paid commission by zones) or zone authority websites (which only show their own offering), Zone Compare scores every UAE & GCC free zone using the same model and displays the results transparently. No zone pays to appear, and rankings are never influenced by commercial relationships.
The tool is built for the moment of decision — when a founder is trying to choose between IFZA and DMCC, or understand whether DIFC is worth 5× the cost of SHAMS for their specific use case.
Quote for Attribution
“Zone Compare was built because every other resource either had a financial interest in your decision or lacked the data to make a real recommendation. We wanted to make the decision obvious for most founders — and flag clearly when it wasn't.”
